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...

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 ...

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?

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...

speaking of Rebecca Regnier, looks like she's coming back to 13 as co-host of the morning talk show "The Nine" next month

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

Even from the high-rise dorm I mentioned earlier, where I had a north-facing room, 2 would come in occasionally. I am not sure about 4, 7 or 9. I didn't try for them all that often given that we got all four on cable, plus WKBD. This was off an older tube TV with one of those circular antennas. 50 ...

also, 96.1 from Archbold's call letters are WMTR.

I'm not all that surprised no Chicago stations show up in Shipshewana, except possibly during tropo. I've lived in Toledo with family in Chicagoland since 2005 and, making that drive plenty of times down the Indiana Toll Road, Chicago FM stations are usually pretty much unlistenably fading out aroun...

It's interesting that the Yankees are such a storied franchise in all of pro sports and have some of the worst announcers on both fronts. The Mets have much better announcers on both radio and TV. Yeah, most of the big market teams (Mets, Dodgers, both Chicago teams, Giants) have very good announce...

I don't see why a big national name wouldn't want to be the TIgers broadcaster. You get to live in one of the coldest parts of the country, announce a bad, boring team and always be negatively compared to Harwell, Kaline and Kell! What's not to love?? There are worse broadcasters than the Tigers' cu...

if so many people hadn't gotten rid of cable, even the app wouldn't be an option.

I miss Rod and Mario, but they hated each other, couldn't keep it under control to be professional, and they were gone.

Monroe is alright. Shepard is just generic. I've heard worse MLB broadcasts, though.

losing a series to a team 40 games below .500 in July! is it football season yet?

Nothing, because the owner is a fucking tightwad who only cares about the Red Wings.

But on the other hand, whoever wins the AL Comedy Central is going to get KILLED in the playoffs anyway.

Bob retired in what, 2015? Something to be said for branding I guess.

I think they've been on WIOT here in Toledo for 25 years now. I've never enjoyed the show especially when I had to hear it at work every day, but they definitely have their fans here.
