Re: Relevant Radio expanding into Dayton-Cincinnati

That's a long time ago now, though. WIOT was still decent for a few years later when Grizzly was still there and playing metal at midnight. But then the bean counters, Andy Stuart, Brian Wilson, Andrew Z, etc. ruined both clusters and now Toledo radio makes North Korean state media look listenable.

Re: Q105 rebrands to a 90's and 2000's format

it's possible they do that when this format tweak also fails to move the needle. Of course no one listens to the Ticket either except for Buckeyes and to a lesser extent Browns games anymore, but being an ESPN Radio clearinghouse damn near 24/7 now makes it cheap to run.

Re: Relevant Radio expanding into Dayton-Cincinnati

What's sad is the Oasis had developed a pretty loyal following in the Cincy and especially Dayton markets. In the beauty pageant 12+ numbers in Dayton, it was ahead of 92.9, 95.3, 101.5, 103.9 and perhaps others. Dayton has already lost 94.5 & 106.5 to niche programming in the past few years; now i...

Re: Lions game TV delay

OTA's been ahead of everything else for a long time now. I remember in the early 2000s it was possible to sync up football games on cable with the AM radio call without time shifting or anything, but no longer.

OTA sure as hell isn't ahead of Vegas, though. Don't get suckered.

Re: Q105 rebrands to a 90's and 2000's format

So it's basically The River minus 80's songs. Yawn.

Speaking of Potty 103.3, that piece of shit's officially made it for a whole year hasn't it?

Re: The new 910AM News Talk Superstation

Many years ago there was a book called "Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks" written by a guy who spent the summer of 1985 visiting every MLB ballpark in the country, driving to all of them. He wrote about listening to Bruce Williams' show for much of his time driving at night. Anyway, this station looks a...

WTVG adding 7 pm news

..to go along with the 4 pm news they added last year, in addition to the 430-7 am, noon, 5, 530 and 6 pm news, along with "The Nine" which is a talk show hosted by local news people. Appreciate their commitment to local programming when the rest of Toledo media is dying, but is there really enough ...

Re: some real good skip and bounce

Over the past few days I've been noticing WMTR on 96.1 semi-local here in the southwest Toledo metro, getting overpowered by WQLK from New Richmond, IN in the car at times

Re: 910 am super station breaking news

Sometimes down here in northwest Ohio, WMTR which airs the Tigers accidentally winds up airing the gambling talk (VSIN?) that 97.1 airs when the Tigers go into rain delay and they don't switch back to their local programming. I might expect that from a station in Archbold, OH. But one in Detroit? wo...

Re: WMVP Downgrade

On a Chicago sports forum I frequent, somebody living in St. Joseph was complaining about the signal being weak when trying to listen to a Bears preseason game, so it does appear the signal is weaker to the east now. 1160 is also a strange signal-you can hear it in Detroit at night but in the south ...

Re: Toledo best city for retirement

I mean, unless money is truly all that matters, Toledo is a miserable place to live let alone spend your twilight years. Are people's only other choices to go Flint or Youngstown or Huntington?

Re: WMVP Downgrade

I'd forgotten WMVP has the Bears and White Sox now. Of course, their signal was notorious for like, literally being stronger in Pittsburgh and Buffalo than Aurora because it was so heavily nulled to the west to protect the station in Seattle on 1000. When the White Sox were last on WMVP in the early...

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

Yeah I'm pretty sure I've heard it on IOT, at least before I removed IOT from my car's presets 4-5 years ago. And I know 101.5 the River and WRQN play it as well. Knowing Toledo radio, there's a chance 3 stations have played it at the same time at one point lol
