Re: WDVD Rebrands Its Morning Show

Speaking of Vegas, effective today, Beasley has ruined 107.5 KXTE. Not that Audacy did the station any favors under its ownership... More info at RadioInsight.com As for WDVD, maybe they can take on WOMC, and become WVHS, your 80's and 90's station. :lol Perfect :lol They sounded good pre whoever t...

Re: Some drama at Loco 4

Is station management hyper sensitive perhaps, or was Mr. Carr rightfully ousted? https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/television/2022/12/12/wdivs-jason-carr-terminated-after-morning-program-incident/69720834007/ Obvious question: Might he reappear at CBS Detroit?

Re: October Ratings

Its not that CSX is a wonderful station. Its just tapped into a large audience that loves to hear the same tunes for the zillionth time. The jocks are nothing special listening to Bill MAC alister is like watching paint dry. But I agree Detroit is a rock radio market always has been. I dont even hi...

Re: 93.5 WRQN playlist

They seem to be sharing a bit more "Classic Rock" with XKR. I understand WHY they are doing that, but I still don't agree with it. Here in Detroit, WOMC is doing the same thing, with a short list of Classic Rock songs, that really don't belong there... Scorpions, GNR, etc. WRQN would be wise to loo...

Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

Although I have the greatest respect for individual opinions here, especially as regards 'taste' matters like programming, I really don't understand why these discussions occur. Everyone has a favorite music genre, or a group of them, and it often seems like as if the poster can't understand why th...

Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

I think something needs to happen with 96.3. Then again, I had the same thought while working there 20 years ago, while the suits from Disney tinkered with the music. It's an uninteresting, dud station, that can't decide what it's supposed to be. An overhaul is long overdue. Excellent take. IMHU th...

Re: September Nielsen Monthly

The PD is the first person to look to when a station tanks. Who else, the air talent that talks MAYBE 2 minutes an hour outside of morning drive? Ridiculous. Salaries don't go up or down with ratings btw :lol No argument there, but the Grand Rapids cluster is, well, a cluster f---, so why is the PD...

Re: September Nielsen Monthly

Hard to blame the Program Director as he is also responsible for New Country rising in the ratings in the face of increased competition in the genre. Salaries will need to be adjusted if DVD is now the 15th most listened to station in Detroit. The PD is the first person to look to when a station ta...

Re: WDVD is like a 2000-current Doug FM?

In the last two days, I have heard the Killers, Lil Jon, Chainsmokers, Britney Spears, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake, and some new hot ac/top 40 music sprinkled in. It seems like they are abandoning a lot of the alternative rock and trying to give 105.1 a run for the money by playing a little bit of ...

Re: Lazlo

Lazblow was skin crawlingly awful. Like Rover's morning glory awful.

I'm a fan of Julia, but as a CHR jock. Brady as well. He was excellent on Z100. He sounds decent on Alt, but CHR is a better fit for him.

Re: Alice Cooper and WOMC

Personally, I would dump all of the overplayed, repetitive hard rock on WOMC. The other day, WOMC, WCSX, and WLLZ were all playing Bon Jovi at the same time. :x WOMC's "rock, pop, and soul" presentation was much better, and made the station sound unique to Detroit. Directives from the suits at Luna...

Re: People in Washtenaw County love WUOM

I largely agree. I think a Fake W4 would go over worse than Fake Wheels. 93.1's issue isn't its name, it's the programming. The new afternoon jock is not a good fit for a Detroit country station. They should move him to 96.3 and bring Dave Fuller back to 93.1. Fuller on DVD makes more since given h...
