I know WGVU had HD2 (oldies) and HD3 (jazz), but they're down to HD1 only. I'm surprised they're still HD (WGVS-FM has never run HD AFAIK)MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 7:46 amI thought they did once upon a time.

Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations
93.1 is back on the air with Strong Tower now. I'm not sure what day they appeared on the air once again as I haven't paid very close attention - as a DXer, there is little reason to tune in until April - but it was certainly turned on quite recently. The signal is poor, much like WGHN, but is wors...

Re: WOMC HD WYCD HD
May have spoken too soon about WITL. Its HD is now off and the 95.3 and 95.9 translators are silent. Good for Townsquare. Two fewer Jesus music drones with zero local content to clog up the dial. What I think is really a waste of electricity is using HD on a spoken word format like WUOM (which has ...

Re: WOMC HD WYCD HD
If the side channels can be used to feed an analog FM translator that can be self-sufficient from a revenue standpoint, fine. If they can be used to simulcast an AM sister station, fine. These moves should've happened much sooner, in all honesty. Or to fill in holes in a sister FM's coverage area (...

Re: Coming to 106 KHQ
Midwestern Broadcasting is probably the gold standard for loyalty to talent. In more cases than not, it has lent for a greater advertiser loyalty. Especially at WTCM-FM, as Mike Sinclair and Carey Carlson have both been there for close to 20 years. Jack O'Malley was there for over 30 years before h...

Re: Old soundchecks and TV commercials for West MI radio stations
I find it hard to believe that 102.9 WFUR at one point had more listeners than 93.7!
Also on page 171, the Flint ratings are shown. 102.5 went from an also-ran to dominant #1 in a year!

Re: "Narrower" Band FM
Then there are the 104.7s in Columbia, SC (WNOK) and Charlotte, NC (WKQC). Both are heavily directional but do run 100,000 watts in the direction away from each other.
There do appear to be some hills between Baltimore and York.

Re: Star Country is making an impact; WTCM-FM and Big Country both take a hit
Ouch for Big Country! Just since spring 2021, they've dropped over half of their shares, which is somewhat remarkable as the market boundary change should have helped them out on paper (by taking out some very strong WTCM counties)

Re: JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR
Could 98.7 flip to a near-clone of 102.5/104.9 in Kzoo/Battle Creek? It is different enough from Magic 104.9, which is straight-up Hip Hop nowadays.

Re: Holy shit, 9&10 has a new logo.
If anyone is good at Photoshopping, how about making a mock up of the new logo by adding the CBS eye and the call letters? Maybe put the call letters under the 9 and maybe superimpose the EYE at the 9 o'clock position a little? The yellow isn't very flattering tbh. Ask and ye shall receive: https:/...

I find it odd that both WSDS and WGVU/WSLI have licenses to increase power at night. Are there daytimers by choice on 1480?

Re: RIP The Edge (for the third time)
104.9 puts a good signal into Albion (which is 30% African-American), but that town is one of the poorest in the state and its K-12 schools were so bad that it was forced to consolidate into Marshall schools

Re: JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR
It makes me wonder if Townsquare might kill off (or downgrade) WFGR and move Magic 104.9 to 98.7

Re: Z93
I have the RadioLand app (which shows signal strength using Longley-Rice models) and of the CHR/Hot AC signals, it shows the following signal strengths: 92.9 WJZQ - 54 dBu 96.3 WKLA - 59 dBu 101.1 WIXX - 51 dBu 102.7 WMOM - 55 dBu In my experience, WJZQ seems to overperform slightly, while WKLA unde...
