Re: Star Country is making an impact; WTCM-FM and Big Country both take a hit
Where in the world are they getting that owner information? Wesleyan? Maga Radio Network? Looks like they pasted the station info into a template and forgot to change the owner names.

Re: Congrats to Stacks 92.1
I believe it was Chuck Dees who took WLNZ from AOR to CHR in 1988 or so, dropping "Lazer" in favor of "Digital Hit Radio, Z92" with (it appears) a fully automated presentation. I found this blurb in the August '88 issue of Radio World on WorldRadioHistory.com: "Let's see... there's the station that ...

Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations
So I assume the oldies format is back on 1370/94.9?

Re: WDEO 990 night testing?
Speaking of WDEO, the 107.9 translator in Scio Township (which formerly relayed Home.FM) is back on the air. They seem to be receiving AM 990 directly off the air, because at night when I null out WCRZ, I hear loud static and hints of another station which I assume is CBW. 107.9's tower is located s...

Re: RIP The Edge (for the third time)
Yep, it was probably a very smart idea to go with something that wouldn't hurt WKFR as much as an AC format might have.

Re: RIP The Edge (for the third time)
Frankly I'm surprised The Edge lasted this long. I would have thought 104.9 might try AC again since WVFM is no longer in the format, but on second thought that might cannibalize WKFR's older demos to some extent. Perhaps a Breeze-style Soft AC could have worked. I agree Urban AC/Adult R&B is a good...

Re: 92.9 vs 94.9
I'm not even a classic rock fan, but I still find myself regularly impressed by something Cruisin' played. It kind of reminds me of WHMI before Krol took it over. Midwest seems to be doing a pretty good job with its Lansing stations at the moment. I enjoy Stacks and Duke as well and while I'm not an...

Re: WDEO 990 night testing?
I live in Whitmore Lake and WDEO is strong during the day, but at night it's mostly CBW. Still, what they have now is an improvement over what they had when they were a 250-watt daytimer on 1520 (1962-1986). I bet they barely made it out of eastern Washtenaw/western Wayne County then.

Hasn't he had health issues, if I'm not mistaken? That may be the reason he's stepping down.

Re: Ontario 2023 Predictions
4. I'm going to say there is about a 50/50 chance of AM 740 continuing with its current format. I'm in full agreement with you on that one. They've been tweaking their current format over the last 18 months; the biggest head-scratcher was a conspiracy theory show running late evenings. Now there's ...

Re: Little bit of winter Tropo
I'm in the Lansing area at the moment and most Detroit stations were in like locals last night. So were WEMU and WQKL. Windsor too, which isn't easy with locals (or semi-locals) right next door. WLEN Adrian poked through on 103.9 in the null of WRSR, WGTE was in on 91.3 battling with WCSG, 103.7 WC...

Re: Scott Vertical is new morning host at 107One in Ann Arbor
I concur. I remember him from Planet 96.3. He's perfect for 107one's format.

Re: Fred White (Earth, Wind & Fire) dies
"Dies" may be the word used most often in the titles of threads in this section over the past year. What an awful year for celebrity passings. NPR's "World Cafe" tonight (on WCMU Public Radio) was playing music from the artists we lost in 2022. I heard Irene Cara, Loretta Lynn, Olivia Newton-John, T...
