Agreed; sounds good today!

Sister station 1270 still sounds flimsier than usual. Wouldn't surprise me if they are running that station at reduced power on purpose.
Why would a station run at reduced power on purpose? Most stations with high power brag about their wattage.

Re: Tony Bennett Dies at 96

It feels like the end of an era with the loss of Tony Bennett. He was one of the last few living old-school crooners. He touched generations of musicians, including his album with Lady Gaga. In one of his last performances with Gaga, he had no idea what was happening, but as soon as the music starte...

Re: What the hell is wrong with WDET's signal?

Usually at my house in Toledo, I can get a faint WDET signal, but at least for a week, it doesn't come in at all. Possibly at reduced power? I don't get it because they just fixed their signal problems a while back. BTW, WUOM always has a better signal than WDET in NW Toledo.

Svengoolie is on MeTv, but Retro TV has its own horror host, can't remember the guy's name.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials

Pluto TV's commercials repeat so much. I think I saw that commercial a few days ago watching the Carey version channel.

Why is WOMC's playlist down to like 50 songs?
It's terrible. And Aricka is now hosting a fake request hour.

This is why they are not in the top 3 like they used to be
Who's Aricka?

Re: Baseball Announcing Teams Ranked

I don't see the Tigers hiring a PXP with national name recognition as long as they're at the bottom of the standings. I'm actually not sure if they'd hire a PXP with national name recognition even if they were good.

Re: Baseball Announcing Teams Ranked

I always preferred Mario Impemba as PXP. Rod Allen was never one of my favorites though. Dan Shulman of the Jays is great as I've enjoyed his work on ESPN Radio. The Mets guys are fun to listen to. The Guardians have a better radio than TV announcer in Tom Hamilton. I think Benetti and Joe Davis wil...
