Re: New Nielsen audio numbers - lots of movement!

I find it interesting that with 97.1’s pretty consistent position among the top five of monthly rankings that no other station has tried to syphon off listeners by going sports talk. I kind of remember maybe 105.1 trying about 7 or 8 years ago. I recall that as an uninspired effort, at least to my ...

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

I wonder who his replacement will be. Some suggestions, although 99% sure that none of this will happen: *Spike, formerly of Channel 955. *Chuck Gaidica. He was at WOMC in 2011. *Kevin O’Neill. He was there in 1988-1989. *Dr. Don Carpenter *Jim Paolucci *Dave Fuller *Jim Harper Kevin, Paolucci, and...

Re: What the hell is wrong with WOMC's audio???

WOMC has had historically horrific audio for decades. This year it's been mainly an obnoxiously loud muffled mess.
It got worse when they moved to Southfield. That's when the audio dropouts started.

Re: Congrats Detroit radio!

Most of the music channels are great for about two months, until you realize they are just as generally repetitive as your average FM music station, minus the 8 minute spot breaks.

I know people will disagree with me here, but if you need to carry a gun or rev your car’s engine to feel like a big man, you either have no penis or a very little penis.
I work downtown Detroit, so I carry for protection.

I can also confirm it does nothing for penis growth. :lol

I still say Jackyl would be a good choice, also. Perfect, if you're aiming for the crowd who watches the WWF, and goes to the demolition derby. :rolleyes I can see it now "We've taken the Wheels off!"

Re: July Ratings

All that I can say about the Detroit area July ratings is that I-Heart owns the top two with WKQI and WMXD. Also in the top ten at number 7 is WNIC. Meanwhile Audacy has more in the top ten then does I-Heart with "The Ticket" number 3, WOMC at number 5, WYCD at number 6, and WWJ at number 10. Beasl...

Re: July Ratings

How long will Cumulus stick around in Detroit? WDVD is struggling and It feels like the last chance for WJR - they've invested in local talent and it's still not moving the dial. They really need some younger talent to bring down the average listener age from 85. Will someone go after WKQI? 96.3 co...

Re: WDVD hires new Program Director

Will Cume-less let the new PD get rid of the awful, syndicated Adam Bomb show at night? Given that Renee Vitale is no longer at 93.1 she would be a great, local DJ to have on the air at night. Renee would be a great fit. Until they fix their stale milquetoast playlist and stationality who's on at n...

93-1 DRQ in the early 2000's under Alex Tear was great radio. WDRQ died forever when it became Doug FM Yes, I was there at the tail end of Alex's tenure with DRQ 2.0, and for the beginning of Doug FM. I had already "aged out" of DRQ's target audience. I would have been around that age when Jerry Cl...
