Vast majority of folks under the age of 50 never, ever tune to the AM band for any reason. AM station revenue has tanked because its audience has gotten smaller and older over time. The tanking of revenue isn't just limited to the AM band. of course. When holding dollars constant for inflation, AM/F...

Kudos to Dennis, and best wishes in his retirement! I remember listening to him on my radio scanner both for Channel 4 and 950 in the 90s. His mic operated both on air and off with a hot mic on 50.4 mghz. Very funny off air too. 50.4 MHz is in the amateur radio band. He would need to be a licensed H...

Not surprised in the least. It was a mistake starting him in game 1. He should've been given game 2.

WWJ doesn't need FM radio to help its signal out during the times of day when traffic volume is at its highest. After people get home they generally turn to the TV, Smartphone, or PC if they want weather or news updates. I would expect evening and overnight listening to WWJ to be much lower than du...

Makes sense. It’s up to CBS and the station’s GM to get the city of Southfield out there. The stuff needs to be installed and functional before the city can be called to do an inspection. Glad to see you finally acknowledged the fact that CBS has mismanaged many of its O&O stations for a long time....

This thread is indicative of how much the Republican Party has fallen. Downplay the truth as fake or “no big deal” and laugh lines. It’s disgusting, and you all should be ashamed of yourselves. I agree that a couple of the posts near the beginning of this thread are pretty pathetic. The guy needed ...

Thanks. Did not realize there was that much non-classical product on the two stations, especially WCMU.

That studio is nowhere close to being finished, so a February launch would not surprise me. They sure are paying a lot of people to do relatively little work, if indeed no newscasts will be added until February. An earlier launch with anchors standing in front of a chroma key wall would look stupid ...

The Free Beer and Hot Wings reddit page says he's gone for good. New domestic abuse allegations have come to light. His name has also been removed from the Compass Media Networks web page for the show.

And indeed, WIAA has a translator there at 94.7 FM.

I wonder if Interlochen would ever consider moving the IPR News format to the massive 88.7 signal ?

A lot of WIAA's coverage area overlaps with WBLV and WCMU-FM, both of which primarily play classical music.

Fans of alternative rock on FM radio can thank Mike Kaplan for ruining the chance of it ever reappearing in the Big Apple. He did just a miserable job of programming WNYL - and produced such terrible ratings - that probably any other major owner will be completely deterred from trying the format for...

All I can recommend is try collapsing or partially collapsing the rabbit ears and also try rotating them. If your TV set is able to be moved closer to a window, especially one that faces west or south, that may help, too. 40 miles in the digital era unfortunately is a long trek for VHF reception usi...

Yup.

There were brief periods this past summer where WRIF's audio sounded really good, then days later, it would start sounding like crud again.

There's something in the "stack" that makes it sound so piss poor.
