Nothing loses my vote faster than preempting Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy.
7&4 in Traverse City didn't air the town hall, allowing Wheel and Jeopardy to air as planned there. I'm assuming 29&8 aired it, as well as at least one of 9&10 and Local 32

Re: Governor to do a town hall on several Detroit TV stations

The only major stations that won't be airing it appear to be WGTU/WGTQ, WLAJ, WOTV, and WBUP

Re: WOTV Post Repack

WOOD and WXMI were smart when they put translators on in the northern/western portions of the market (WOOD in Muskegon and Holland and WXMI in Muskegon and Hesperia). I also think WXMI has a translator or two in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area I know WZZM had a translator in Kalamazoo in the station...

Re: Where's the evidence that "Stay at Home" slows the spread?

What a cheap shot, besides I have taught in accredited public schools and received paychecks for it. Without it the spread slows down, but it will just resume when lockdown is lifted. Actually the lock down can not be lifted until there is cure or until there is significant immunity wall. In Asia t...

Re: 102.7 wmom back on air

Is WLDN still around? Yes, and still simulcasting with 97.7 in Manistee. Their schedule seems to change a lot. They have Colin Cowherd in early afternoons followed by an old time radio hour. IMHO, WKLA-FM and WLDN should swap frequencies (with WKLA moving to the much stronger 98.7 and WLDN moving t...

It's the most wonderful time of the year

102.7 WMOM is on, at least temporarily, with Christmas music. First noticed it Thursday night (after hearing an open carrier earlier Thursday instead of religious hymns and teaching from WRVM)

Re: KROQ cans entire morning team

KROQ's ratings have been lackluster for a long time, not just in mornings, but throughout the week. They're tied with Class A Spanish KRCD! Considering how many stations are in the LA radio market, being T-14 isn't bad. There are several full-market commercial FMs behind them in the beauty pageant

Could 96.1 flip from sports?

With no sports until (minimum) Memorial Day, is there a chance 96.1 (and other sports stations nationwide) flip from sports to talk or even a music-based format?

Re: MLB Opening Day delayed at least two weeks

Ratings for the Summer Olympics will be through the roof, assuming they move forward like they're still claiming they will. It will be virtually the only sport on TV. Ain't gonna happen. If there's one thing I learned during my visit to Tokyo is the good people of Japan have little tolerance for co...

Re: This is the United States of America, not China

They always give the worst case scenario projections to scare people. China locked down in late January and cases have almost ceased now. If China had done their job earlier (as in recognizing there was a problem when it first came out rather than a couple of months after the fact), this wouldn't be...
