Regarding WKRK - the corporate morons at CBS eventually ruined WHFS, WBCN, WYSP, WXRK and other stations. Rock station launches in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, San Antonio and Sacramento all went poorly.
That's an accurate assessment.

Is the Grateful Dead programming still happening?

I remember how it went in the 1990's. WLLZ was New Rock by June of 1995, and it lasted six months. 97-1 only played Rock for about two years and then went FM Talk until 2007. The old Z-Rock became The Bear and was Classic Rock by 1997. By March of 1999 what used to be WKRK no longer played music on...

I've noticed that WMXD locks in easily now. From the Book Cadillac it was very touchy on an analog tuner.

Not anymore.

I couldn't tell you the last time I heard Burning Sky. It's always Rock & Roll Fantasy, or Shooting Star. Thank God the later Bad Company material with Brian Howe singing lead has been permanently shelved. That stuff was really weak. Howe had a little more range than the guy from 3 Doors Down, but t...

In 1992, I am sure they were playing Winger, Bang Tango, and Firehouse as well

WFDF is buried in noise today. I can hear CFCO and WKNR a lot clearer. Where are you located? Bloomfield. Telegraph and Quarton Interesting. I'm about 5 miles from that location and this morning it was clear as a bell all the way to Lansing. Wonder if you have electrical interference from overhead ...

The last few days the signal strength drops way down for a few min and then back up for a few min over and over as if a switch is being tripped over and over. I've hever heard that before on any station. What can be causing it?

Plate Cap can probably answer that.

All I know is Power 96 seems like a much more fun radio station than the present day WDVD (whose calls perhaps mean "We're Detroit's Venereal Disease")! Ya think??? I believe I've made that point over and over in these forums. :smokin As for tape of long gone talent, when WWJ and Star97 were in wit...

One of my moles on the inside tells me that Audacy Detroit is becoming a difficult place to work. Whatever the problem was with KT, they should have worked it out. The place is clearly turning into a revolving door. Hogwash. It’s broadcasting in 2023. Things are changing everywhere. No job security...

Hi, Mr. Adell said the billboards are working great because you’re talking about them here. He bought 30 billboards around the state including the Traverse City area because Clay Buxton lives up there in the summer and does his show from there. He also bought spots on the Fox News channel through C...

WJR should hire LeDuff. They are morons if they choose not to. That's actually a fantastic idea. Too bad Charlie doesn't have the resume' of the exciting Mark Hollis, or "I have no opinion" Guy Gordon. Charlie isn't from the "Country Club" set, he's more from the "Swap Meet" or Flea market set. Tha...

I go out of my way to NOT read the Metro Times. As the Brits would say, "I wouldn't wrap my fish & chips in it"

I think Charlie will be just fine. In fact, I am very surprised he's still in town. Perhaps he will become another "urban pioneer" like ML Elrick.
