Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

Given the fact both WLAV and WFGR witnessed big ratings gains simultaneously, I cannot help but wonder if panel turnover factored into the rises seen at each station. https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb127 That said, I agree with you that there is little reason to upset the apple cart for a...

Re: Toledo has a new radio station.

Tiny signal; station will be a flop even if the music sounds halfway decent. Those of you who predicted Andrew Z would reappear on an LPFM were in the right ballpark. :)

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

Sadly, CKUE seemed to lose its way around the time it moved from 94.3 to 95.1. Also, the placement of a booster signal on 95.1 FM in Windsor really fucked with listening ability on this side of the border (unless downriver or in downtown Detroit). In southern Macomb County, all the two signals did w...

Re: Is DTE's ad $$$ influencing local media coverage of power outages?

What DTE ought to be doing is putting aside a portion of revenue received each month into a sinking fund that can be used to support infrastructure repairs & investment. In fact, this should be mandated under state law. If DTE is incapable of handling that task, then perhaps the state needs to add a...

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

The all 90s weekend on WNYL in New York has featured some darn impressive selections:

I feel like the effort at 98.7 remains half assed.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

Great points. Greta Van Fleet perhaps should've been featured, too. Although more of a traditional Rock band, their debut single did receive substantial airplay at Alternative. Also agree regarding the CanCon. No Our Lady Peace, Tragically Hip, or Billy Talent in the playlist? Big thumbs down from me.

Re: How radio chased away the next Howard Stern.

Zach Sang - the next Howard Stern? Give me a break. Very little in common between the two in terms of show content and target audiences. Zach Sang's show was geared to listeners of bubble gum pop music stations and had little if any controversial content. His show mostly aired on small market CHR/Po...

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

On an A to Z themed weekend, Fault 98.7 couldn't even play The Verve Pipe or Tracy Bonham, two artists with popular singles in the 90s (multiple popular singles in the case of the former) who are from MICHIGAN!!! Audacy really does take a half-assed approach to programming 98.7. The dumbasses who si...

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV

They all did a great job with today's forecast! Projected high temp was only about 10 degrees off. 😄 Let's see: -low pressure -northeast flow -low, thick stratus -moisture moving up from the south Yup, forecasting a high temp of 79 degrees with that type of pattern in early SEPTEMBER makes sense to ...

Re: Which mobile phone MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) are best?

While that was likely the case at one time, it certainly is not the case today. (As an aside, Sprint doesn't exist anymore; it's part of T-Mobile now.) Looks like T-Mobile has good coverage up north aside from heavily wooded areas that are far from major roads. Most of the greater Traverse City area...

Re: Biden Speech

I suspect most Dem candidates on the ballot are not looking for "help" from the President. If he wants his allies to win in November, it would be wise of him to keep a low profile as opposed to making awkward stump speeches in prime time.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

98.7 did have "Breathe" by The Prodigy in its countdown, but that song (a great one) never receives regular airplay. It's probably aired on the Sunday morning post-modern show a couple times, I'm guessing.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

KROQ played Sugar by System of a Down, Schism by Tool and Sober by Tool. WDZH played none of those songs.
