Sebastian Gorka is now airing in Hannity's former slot on WDTK.
I think Sebastian Gorka has been in that late night time slot for a while. Maybe a month, or a little longer.

Re: The new 910AM News Talk Superstation

Kevin hired some Southfield Police to hang out in the parking lot as the recently fired employees gathered their belongings and vacated the office today. I didn't know that unpaid volunteers could be fired, but okay... Even at my place of residence, squarely in the major lobe, WFDF is unable to ove...

I'm sincerely confused about what this guy's appeal is. It's well noted that I'm not a Trump fan, but I can comprehend where some of that is coming from. I can't see that with RamaSMARMY.
One could ask the same questions about Jeb Bush, supporting whacko ideas like Common Core :lol

Re: CKWW 580 Signal Observations

It's really bad. It's so weak that the LED traffic lights are destroying the signal at intersections.

Re: The new 910AM News Talk Superstation

According to my moles on the inside, Bongino was/is a dumpster fire, and that's coming from stations other than WJR. Aside from that, why carry a show when the host has already said "I'm outta here at end of my contract"? Interesting. Kind of odd that he isn't able to transfer the success of his po...

Re: The new 910AM News Talk Superstation

Think what you will, but I see WJR's dismal ratings as of late becoming even worse. Somewhat surprised they didn't/or couldn't pick up Bongino. I agree with Kman on Kudlow. It'll be interesting to see if they can hit the hard breaks on the Premiere lineup correctly, and on time. WCXI never could. A...

Re: Renee Vitale doing Traffic on WJR

If I heard it right The 5am cohost referenced Renee vitale had a background going all the way back to WCXI AM (went dark as its own country identity, simulcast its FM partner audio until WDFN started in 1994) but from her LinkedIn shows she’s too young. It was Pat Vitale, at WWJ, who worked in the ...

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

The past few times a 2nd country station came to the Detroit market, the ratings were mainly not anywhere close to what WYCD had. I don't think iHeart should try again now. Based on IHR's track record, they shouldn't try again ever! Hate to admit it, but I'm old enough to remember a time when we ha...

Re: Detroit Airplay of Alice Cooper's New Album

You cant even get these half baked stations to open their playlists for songs people actually want to hear let alone new material from aging artists. In Lansing, back in the 80's, when 'MMQ was still on 92.7 and broadcasting from way out in Charlotte, Fred was consulting. Even then, he seemed more ...

The labor day weekend is a few days away.... any indications that WLLZ might flip to country ?
None that I have heard, but they are fools if they do. Nobody wants to be the "other" country station. That's not a good position in any market.

Today was her last day. She's Denver-bound.
I don't blame her. She will probably be trying to figure out what the big bright "wheel in the sky" is that shines every day.

Re: It's Giving Broke Boy, WKFR Cuts Local Mornings?

He supposedly left the first time because the job was too stressful. Perhaps seeing 103.3 crush 96.5 in the ratings has alleviated some of that stress? I'd rather live in K'zoo than South Bend all day long. I wouldn't live in either one. The snow in Battle Creek was deep enough back in the day. :sm...

Re: Jeff Holbrook dies (WWCK)

There's a lot of Jeff Holbrook in Peter Cavanaugh's documentary, and his book, Local DJ.

Jeff was a good guy, and absolutely, a star, and a broadcasting legend in the once great city of Flint.
