Re: Should Rhythmic AC get another shot in the D?

A format like that, or something along the lines of WKTU in New York, might be good for 96.3, which has been struggling to stay relevant. I know I'd listen. https://ktu.iheart.com/music/recently-played/ As for 93.1, I'd move it to the Country equivalent of that format, something like Star Country u...

Re: Dan Bongino out at WJR in May

Putting podcasters and 'influencers' like Bongino on radio almost always flop, because they don't get it.

They're used to talking to a camera. Radio is a difficult medium if you don't know how to do it properly.

Another long shot: Jim Harper? He does a weekend show on WJR.

Re: Spike out at 955

Not a Mojo or Spike fan. His nasal, lispy voice and fake bits were cringe. But the station and mornings in particular just had maybe their best book ever, so someone loves 'em. I don't know what they bill, maybe MW has that info. But if a company is 'tightening it's belt' wouldn't doing away with ex...

Re: Detroit Nielsen numbers for radio - January 2023

Wow. California Love. I mean, it is intergenerational and quite an evergreen so yeah, I can see it. It was so jarring though listening to "generic song number 25" followed by that. Ok I'm being dramatic. It was Old Time Rock and Roll, and that segue was epic af. I just don't think the 50 year old w...

Re: "To The People" on 97.1

You know, for all the bad said about the ticket and their callers, we are lucky to have a station like this. No, they are lucky to have listeners. I haven't listened consistently in about 6 years. I find them lazy and uninspired. When you realize people consider themselves 'lucky tho have a (produc...

Re: 93.1 has one of the worst "country" music playlists I've ever seen

Looks like about half the damn spins on the station come from about 10 artists, two of them being the unbelievably awful Sam Hunt and Dan + Shay. I'm so happy WYCD is kicking their ass in the ratings. 99.5's music over the past 60 days has improved quite a bit. 99.5, 88.7 and 95.9 all have far bett...

Re: Detroit Nielsen numbers for radio - January 2023

Looks like a couple stations might have a "meter." Loyal listeners can cause a pop even without a big cume jump. WLLZ and WDVD didn't seem to attract a lot of new ears even with a decent bump. WDVD now trailing WCSX in total listeners. That would have been unheard of prepandemic. You would think Gr...

Re: WOMC

Idiocy ruined WOMC for sure. Borringgggg. They were good under CBS.

And Stern sucks now for sure. Sad. The holier than thou attitude and crying about covid non stop killed it for me.

Bring Beau back and they would print money. We aren't kids anymore but that doesn't mean we are boring.
If they shift to a classic hits type format of some type or another he'd be great for sure.
Respectfully, as a fan, I think he's in his lane at WOMC.
I don't hear him doing HOT AC.

Re: WDVD Rebrands Its Morning Show

How about a format similar to WOMC, but much less repetitive, with much less Queen, Michael Jackson, and George Michael... "The NEW KIX 96." Could work. Name blows though. Is there a market for "pop music from 1996-2013" ? Absolutely. WDVD plays quite a bit now, and the air staff is the right age f...
