Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

KEXP Seattle (which runs emd) is one of the most streamed stations in the US.
EDM is a tiny portion of that station's total programming.
At what point do stations learn they can go beyond a local market (with national advertising)?
Seems like a recipe for pissing away money, if ya ask me.

I'm not sure what exactly that video shows other than a seemingly small room.

Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

To suggest electronic music can be successful as an FM format because NPR is successful is absurd reasoning.

EDM has been tried on translator signals in South Florida. It draws tiny ratings.

Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

Explain to me why there is no Electronic station in Detroit?
Because the music in that genre is trash, would generate abysmal ratings, and such a station would bill very poorly.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022

Dan Campbell is a great guy but a terrible head football coach. Why on earth didn't he punt on 4th down on the Lions' final drive? He is very, very lucky Green Bay did not score on its final drive. Officiating was really bad. Lions got away with one if not two penalties on Green Bay's final drive. A...

Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

106.7 plays extremely little post 2000 rock.

The Oldies tag was partially dropped due to the negative connotation associated with the word "Old."

There are classic hits stations today that play mostly 60s and 70s music that do not use the term "Oldies."

An example would be 101.3 in Grand Rapids.

What's wrong with describing their playlist as classic rock?

Re: Time Left for Select Radio Stations

Why would Cumulus - with no national music platforms from which to easily procure programming - bother with Alternative on an HD-2 signal? HD only channels have negligible listenership. Besides that, WRIF already programs an indie / alternative hybrid on its HD-2 channel. CHR on 93.9 has been genera...

Re: Andrew Humphrey has landed in Memphis, TN

I'm happy for him. Got the chief meteorologist tag that WDIV refused to grant him. His educational background is clearly very impressive, but I saw no evidence that it enabled him to predict the weather more accurately than anyone else while he was here . For weather nerds, Memphis is a good place t...

Re: A Cell Phone Quetion

I'll be the first to say T-Mobile has a confusing maze of prepaid plans that are marketed under different brand names. Verizon is now just as bad in that regard following its recent acquisition of MVNO, Total Wireless. Which T-Mobile plan are you on? Connect by T-Mobile prepaid? (Regular) T-Mobile p...

Re: WLLZ

103.9 The Fox is a better station than 104.5 WILZ, in my opinion, Realist.

WILZ sounds too much like WCSX to my ears with regard to song selection.

I will agree that there are some instances where he came across as arrogant on the air.
