Rethinking our move to the area. Without Deal Mart what good is WATZ? Does this mean they will also cut Polka, Polka, Polka on Sunday Morning? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Oh, too bad about losing polkas. I really got into that music doing a polka show back in the 70s. But then, I was in my...

Found an even better one in Wisconsin:
101.3 W267BB Wausau (WHRM-HD3) - 250 watts, HAAT 329 meters

Here are the translators - shown in pink - that are heard somewhat regularly at my location in Fremont.

Do0d, like WOW! So can you get Tierra del Fuego on that rig?

Not in Michigan, but my twin translators are at 410 meters above sea level on a moderate sized ridge in the shadow of the Olympic Mountains near Olympia WA. HAAT about 294 Meters. They are both directional with a big bite taken out toward LPFMs in Tacoma to the east. We have a 60 dBu FCC calculated ...

One big reason I fled Michigan years ago, other than viable paying jobs, was what the whole of North America seems to be enjoying right now. Here in metro Portland, we're just digging out of a late season snow and ice storm. Snow, I can live with, but the freezing rain is murder. It collects on tree...

This is like watching two people in road rage, where they both crash and die.

You made me cackle out loud. Too ironic!

I don't see commercial radio's income picture improving. One question that station owners need to keep asking themselves is whether this is still a business, or just a partially self-financing hobby. Most of us need a little hope just to get through from day to day. But hoping that station income wi...

At the FCC today, application from Mitten News LLC of Grand Rapids, current owner of WJNL requests this: APPLICANT PROPOSES NO CHANGES TO THE BROADCAST FACILITY OTHER THAN TO REDUCE POWER FROM 50 KW DAYTIME TO 10 KW DAYTIME. CRITICAL HOURS TO REMAIN AT 2.5 KW. ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS DEMONSTRATE COMPLIA...

A lookup of KYW's history will also show that its original location under Westinghouse was in Chicago, from 1921-1934, then to Philly then to Cleveland then back to Philly.

So KYW was the Raiders of Radio!

Didn't Schitt's make Milwaukee famous?

Who ever it was, he seems to be gone.

Those pesky skeeters. They buzz in, then they buzz off.

I used to be in charge of the 'teletype' sound at KFWB in Los Angeles back in the NewsRadio 980 days. It was a cart machine on the same console bus as the studio mikes. We had the sfx on a 30 minute Fidelipac and it ran 24/7. Once a week, the production guy gave me a fresh cart and I would slug it i...

Wow, I was intrigued to read about the recently settled lawsuit over ownership of WBMI. While checking MI radio actions at the FCC, I came across an application to return ownership of WBMI to Peggy Warner from Michael Fleming and Charles Cobb of CF Broadcasting. CF was officially in charge until thi...

That's the guys, Ben.

I believe they also bedeviled Maxwell Smart.

At least Grays Harbor County bore Nirvana. :blink Grays Harbor County bored Nirvana to DEATH. Kurt had to get out of that going nowhere place as soon as he could afford bus fare. Awful area.
