Do you mean in terms of taking on an incumbent, highly successful hard rock station? Bear in mind Detroit had multiple stations playing hard rock or alternative at the time, whereas the Tri-Cities has only one (Z93), unless you wish to count Christian Rock Radio U 101.7 / 103.5. You are correct inso...

I enjoyed his major hits; sorry to learn of his passing.

R.I.P.

Radar shows the area near North Port, FL (SE of Venice) has seen more than 15 inches of rain, and it's still raining there, although the rain should wind down there in a few hours. The strong offshore wind in the Tampa area has largely emptied Tampa Bay! All the water has gone out to sea. Much diffe...

Tampa Bay should see minimal storm surge, if any, since landfall occurred well to the south near Punta Gorda and Cape Coral. Wind will be moving offshore for many hours. Rain has been and will be heavy, but not nearly as bad as points 40+ miles south and southeast. Flooding should be relatively mino...

I bow down to you, sir. EXCELLENT POST!

Right direction - yes. The music changes happened a year ago, though, and the music still leaves a lot to be desired. These are baby steps.

If he just voice tracks and is on mic for a few minutes an hour, not sure how much value he'll add. Julia in mornings is nice, but I was "treated" to probably 17 minutes of commercials in less than 60 minutes of listening. I turned off the radio as commercials were still playing. All around, a weak ...

That would be a very big downgrade for channel 4.

Not sure. Found a couple airchecks of her work from the 90s recently. Very talented back then.

That's lame. Only one voice of local origin on 98.7. Pathetic. Fuck Audacy.

I have no issue with either of those three songs being played once per day, especially since this is a newly launched station. All three are worthy of regular airplay. It's good to see the play times vary.

Holy crap have they crammed a shit ton of commercials into the 6a hour.

Same shitty music as usual so far, according to the music log.

Not to mention Graham also has a station in Miami. Storm is probably going to make landfall near Sarasota or Venice, most likely the latter. Boca Grande is definitely at high risk of a direct landfall, too. The narrow barrier islands will be devastated. Tampa Bay is probably going to dodge a bullet ...

LOL.

98.7 definitely has an obsession with My Chemical Romance. I actually like the current song.

I predict Holly Hutton of WYCD will be the new midday host.

Julia is the new morning host. Some tweaks to format elements are afoot, too.

Station is now positioning itself as "Detroit's Alternative Rock."
