Give me a good reason for anyone under the age of 40 or 50 to listen... and having an FM radio in the car isn't a good answer.
I listen when Comcast internet service is down.

Re: Nexstar in Flap With DIRECTV and AT&T-UVerse

How did TV stations who get their licenses from the FCC get to charge cable, streaming or satellite services for carrying their signal when anyone in the stations broadcast radius can get it over the air with an antenna? Are the rebroadcast entities inserting their own commercials? The local TV sta...

Re: Nexstar in Flap With DIRECTV and AT&T-UVerse

Agreed. It is rather unique for a market to have two affiliates of the same major network. Neither WOTV nor WZZM can claim exclusive access to the market.

Re: WZPX (ION) files app to move closer to Grand Rapids

I've been wondering if PBS is available OTA in Flint Proper. I guess it is near-fringe to three PBS stations, equidistant WKAR, WTVS and WDCQ.

Re: WYCE Recorded Shows?

300? The physical CD library is a whole lot larger than that, not sure how much more are on the servers. If you're talking rotation I still think it's much more than that. When I was hanging around there, rule was a particular cut got embargoed for a number of days after being played. Correct. Ever...
