Re: Roberta Jasina Loses her job

By far the worst part of this ordeal - her husband was diagnosed with cancer the day after Audacy downsized her. I feel terrible for Roberta and her family. I would not wish that one-two punch on anybody. I certainly do hope she received a generous severance package. The fact she wasn't allowed a fi...

Re: 105.5 WQQO Toledo

Cumulus wants button pushers leaving XKR to go to RQN and vice versa. To that end, some reasonable artist overlap makes sense. In Detroit, WRIF still plays some dinosaur rock artists spun by CSX. Recently, CSX has begun devoting spins to Pearl Jam, RHCP, Collective Soul and similar artists. Sticking...

That is my mistake, and I thank you for correcting my error. I must be confusing him with someone else.

Friggin' WWJ 950

They've turned their IBOC HD radio noise machine back on.

Not quite as crappy sounding as the last time it was in use, but still a noticeable downgrade in analog audio quality.

Hopefully, the reactivation proves to be temporary.

Agreed. Station is underachieving big time.

So, they poached someone from channel 7. I knew I recognized that name. The plot thickens. :)

I hear classic hits stations played inside businesses all the time.

Most people don't want to listen to slow, sleepy music at work.

Re: NOAA Weather Radio On again, Off again

Not sure if it's even technically feasible, but is it possible the TX shuts off automatically if there is no phone line audio after a certain length of time?

It does seem odd that most NWS offices attribute most weather radio service outages to phone line issues.

Re: NOAA Weather Radio On again, Off again

Relying on old fashioned phone lines is about as wise as relying on the Lions to win a playoff game. 😁

Re: Lazlo

Kelly Brown? No thanks. Cristina would be great, though.

Darren worked at 89X then went to Planet 96.3. I could've sworn I heard him on the air in Grand Rapids at some point, too, during the 90s. I want to say WGRD when it was CHR/Pop.

Supposedly, they were unaware of the potential existence of such files until an "informant" tipped them off in late June.

Re: Lazlo

She was former morning co-host at 98.7 Amp Radio for about the final eight or nine months the station was on the air. The Chris & Julia show was actually pretty good. Far, far better than the Rat & Puff show, which sounded like radio for 14 years olds. Soon after Amp Radio 98.7's demise, she was giv...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022

You are certainly correct that the average attendance at Cleveland home games is putrid this season. I think the Tigers use fuzzier math, potentially, than some other teams across the league in arriving at those figures. Baseball Reference's data suggests the Tigers are averaging over 20,000 fans a ...
