Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED

I think you're completely misconstruing the nature of the complaints, sirrealone. It's not that people suddenly feel P-U Country 93.1 is a great station, but rather the fact the local FM dial is becoming increasingly loaded with stations that appeal to fringe audiences. My thoughts exactly. I wasn'...

Re: Poor quality recordings

I was listening to my LP of The Big Chill soundtrack yesterday and Whiter Shade of Pale sounds really bad. I've heard much better recordings of it, so idk what the deal was. I'm curious to know what it originally sounded like in 67. This soundtrack is from 83. The Big Chill soundtrack used the old ...

Re: Sinclair’s Cheapness on Full Display

With Leslie out, and Ron Hilliard's last day being yesterday, WEYI/WSMH is down to Erik Kostrzewa. No new hires to be found. More cheapness for you.

Re: Powerful music memories

"Go Now" will never sound any better. The master tape is a dub from an acetate disc. The distortion is built-in. They cut it in the back of the Marquee Club in London direct to acetate disc.

The distortion on "It's A Shame", dirty pots at Studio A during mixdown.

Do I understand that Studio A was the W. Grand Blvd studio....where was Studio B? Studio A was/is at 2648 West Grand Boulevard. Studio B was located at 3246 West Davison, originally the studio and offices for Ed Wingate's Golden World and Ric-Tic Records. Motown purchased the labels and studio in 1...

Re: ATSC 3.0 BROADCAST SIGNAL

Southwestern St. Clair County for me, with an outdoor antenna.

No issues on the other stations on WSBF ATSC 3.0, just WJRT. I pick up all of the market's 1.0 stations easily except WNEM.

Re: ATSC 3.0 BROADCAST SIGNAL

WJRT's signal on WSBF ATSC 3.0 is very glitchy, especially during newscasts.

Re: Coverage of the MSU campus shooting

I'm in SW St. Clair County, so I am able to get both the Detroit and Flint/Tri-Cities locals on ATSC 3.0. I flipped between WDIV, WXYZ, WJBK, WJRT, WNEM, and WSMH/WEYI last night. Not surprisingly, 4 and 7 handled the best for Detroit. 66/25 did a decent job over 12 and 5, although they could have s...
