Love the commercials as well. I forgot that the anchors back in the day reported their stories by glancing down at the typed sheet of paper on the desk.

Re: Steve Lehto's discussion on pirate radio

Hey TC, don't stand too close to that gate, Homeland Security now backs the FCC. It's a whole new world. :lol I power it up about once a year, last time made the mistake of having the antenna in my studio instead of up on a pole on the back deck (not sure wtf I was thinking). End of the night my po...

Re: Steve Lehto's discussion on pirate radio

Interesting clip. I remember during lockdown some churches bought low-power transmitters to broadcast out to cars in their parking lots. Some drive-in theaters (that are still around) use the same concept, as well as those over-the-top Christmas decorated houses where the lights go to music. I have ...

Re: Part-Time Board Op

Hi, I'm in the IT space by full-time trade but have always had a passing interest in broadcast. Highly technical and have live sound experience as well as radio experience from college (granted it was a couple decades ago). I see occasional part-time board-op jobs but they don't detail what hours t...

Re: Old soundchecks and TV commercials for West MI radio stations

KLQ ran a couple of contest during the overnight hours where they would play snippet of a song and you had to call in with the title and artist. They called it the late night quickie. You could only win every 30 days. Sorry for the confusion. That was probably Mary McKarrack or Pam Roberts, Darla w...

I recently noticed it was no longer in Sunday Grand Rapids Press. But to be honest, I only opened it to read the "Ask Marilyn" column, and see if the Amish space heaters were being offered in my zip code.

Re: RIP Aris Hampers

In reading Aris' biography, am I reading it correctly that, except for his first gig which was in Lansing, he only ever worked at stations in Grand Rapids? I believe that is correct, although I'm sure he probably had other out-of-market opportunities. IIRC he was asked or considered to fill in (or ...

I was sorry to hear about Aris and he certainly was a legendary music radio host. If you were in the Grand Rapids area
during 1971 Aris with his band Phlegathon had the number one hit with their song "Last Voyage Home".
