There is ZERO chance that Cumulus is going to flip to Sports. Cumulus would have to spend a TON of money on talent to compete with 97.1, and as evidenced by their moves in other markets, they are NOT going to spend what it would take. Their recent moves to Gnash could mean one of a few things: 1) Th...

Yes, see Detroit Sports 105.1. That did worse.

Team is off to a pretty nice start. The pitching looks great so far. The bats need to wake up fast, though. The Indians’ rotation is hard enough to beat even if their bats weren’t off to a slow start.

Vegas has them at 67.5 wins. I’d say that’s actually a good one, I think I’ll put my money on just over. Still have them in 4th, just ahead of KC.

The thing to watch about this team is how well will those prospects brought in during the 2017 blowout progress.

It’s a shame 89X doesn’t subscribe. I know a radio pro on one of the other boards was saying they average around a 1.5 in Detroit, pretty much what they’ve been running since Dave & Chuck left. No idea about Windsor, since last I checked, Windsor didn’t even release a book due to low turnout. Honest...

Stopnswop, With Cumulus dealing away WNSH in NYC, are they still running the Nash brand as a national brand? Meaning, are they’re going to keep failing stations around to keep market coverage? If not, perhaps flips could be coming to some Nash brands? That said, I’m not sure a WKQX-type station, as ...

As expected, it’s Classic Rock.

Adios, Alt 106.7. I tried to like the station, but the playlist was horribly tight and it didn’t sound local to Detroit at all. I do hope the WDTW call letters end up somewhere else soon.

Except there’s no shortage of research that goes to show the 55+ crowd isn’t as inclined to buy off of radio ads. Who do you think runs the advertising agencies? It’s probably not millennials.

That’s why I gladly pay for the SiriusXM streaming package. I can stream all the Tigers games on my phone. I moved to Cleveland a few years ago for work and it’s also nice because of the Tigers are playing the Indians, I can watch the game and stream so I don’t have to listen to the Cleveland bias d...

You’re right. It’s not June anymore. But the ratings for WRIF have been in the same range and every other day part book I’ve seen in the last half decade has had them ahead, I’d say it’s pretty safe to say Dave and Chuck still lead by a mile. If you insist on something more current, you can always p...

Time to pay up.
I’ve never liked the show, but WRIF basically changed morning shows and never missed a beat, ratings-wise.

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/174511/cumulus-sells-six-to-emf-swaps-with-entercom-in-new-york-indianapolis/ Some thoughts: 1. I didn’t think many operators piecemeal stations out in sales, barring rimshots. This was an interesting move for that reason. 2. WRQX was the #5 biller in DC just a few...

So, I decided to stream The Q while running some errands the other day. I like it. So far, it sounds like a jock less version of “Ann Arbor’s 107.1”. AAA does seem too niche to make too much of ratings sense, perhaps Alternative would have been more mass appeal, but I think this station plays enough...

A couple of months ago, my wife made a large thing of chili and we took it down to our local precinct for the police working there. We wanted to share our appreciation of what they do to keep our community safe and they really appreciated it too.

I listened to this while visiting my mother, who was working in Fort Wayne a few years back. Really good station- much better music mix than the iHateMedia junk here. This, and WKQX, are my go-to streams if I’m in an Alternative mood.
