Re: August book

I recall that just 15 years ago WNIC was playing multiple 60s Motown songs an hour. The playlist was mainly 60s-90s, with maybe one 2000s song thrown in per hour, unlike now where it's just a random mess of songs that don't sound remotely good back to back. Here is an hour and a half of music, from ...

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

Wow, I knew this was coming.
At the Dream Cruise he was talking to Dick Purtan and was talking about retirement.

I'll miss hearing him. He is great.
And I agree, I really hope they keep it live and local there at WOMC

Re: Detroit Airplay of Alice Cooper's New Album

Do either CSX or Wheels even play Alice Cooper at all?

Wasn't it just a few books ago that WJLB was #1 or am I slipping? I don't think I've ever seen WJLB so low in my lifetime.
No. It was 955 that's been no. 1 for months

Re: August book

93.1 had a 1.4 share.
I can't remember when the flip happened. Did August include that or was that actually their ratings as country?

Re: Detroit Airplay of Alice Cooper's New Album

That point was driven home to me in 1997 when very commercially accessible albums were released by Paul McCartney ( Flaming Pie ) and Elton John ( The Big Picture ), but got almost no airplay. In the case of Elton's "The Big Picture", track "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" would hit #1 wo...

There's only one station playing new rock and I doubt it's been playing there

Re: Great Motown-Style Songs

Ecstacy by Eruption, from their 1983 album Our Way.

Actually the whole album. The opening track is even a cover of 2 Four Tops songs in medley.

Also check out their 1980 album called Fight, Fight, Fight

Re: WOMC Dream Cruise

Shame it's only for the weekend. I've been listening all day. I'm loving it.

And the regular playlist is like 50 songs, not 275

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?
Midday host

Re: June 2023 radio ratings

Does 95.5 not go out to clubs on weekends anymore? I used to like that. I am so old now I don't even know if clubs are still a thing for 20 year olds :( I try to listen to 95.5 from time to time so I can sorta stay up on what the kids are listening to. They do seem to play A LOT of the same shit fr...
