On a side note, a bit surprised they dropped all their Nascar racing coverage. Not saying all country music fans are Nascar fans or vice-versa, but there definitely is some overlap. Maybe that's more of a statement about Nascar as none of the other Toledo area stations, (no matter the format) picked...

Speaking of Oakland, as bad as the team is, I do enjoy their radio play by play. They're available for free on iHeart Radio via A's cast. Their announcers Ken Korak and Vince Catronio seem to make the best of a bad situation. Appologies if I misspelled their last names.

Dayton has some loyal Browns fans, but definitely has many more Bengles fans. I was reminded of that every week during the NFL season, back when I lived there. As for Toledo, it's hard for me to believe 100.7 The Ticket/94.5 XKR won't renew their contract to simulcast the Browns, as they did much of...

Quick side note: I noticed NBC moved all of their coverage of this weekend's Detroit Grand Prix to Peacock and USA, so WDIV won't be able to show any of it live. In recent years, NBC Universal had both days of races on their main NBC network.

So, you could either stream it on Peacock, or, if you get another NBC station such as WNWO in Toledo, you could watch it there. I didn't see it listed on any of WDIV's subchannels either.

Going through the TV listings and noticed WDIV is not airing NBC's MLB game between the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox, this Sunday, May 8 at 11:30. What's worse, they're preempting this game for a few infomercials, an old episode of Jeopardy and an episode of Inside Edition. I know WDIV occas...

Thanks, MW. Your explanation and example makes sense to me.

Is Audacy purchasing Detroit's "Salem Media Group" stations? I recently heard a top of hour id for WDTK-AM 1400 / FM 101.5 in Detroit. It ended with "A service of Salem Media Group, an Audacy station." I know Salem uses Audacy as their primary streaming partner, but was surprised to hear a Salem sta...

Wow! Sad to hear that, though I knew his health had been failing in recent years. He was one of my favorite hosts in the 1980s and his "TalkRadio" syndicated show was on WXYZ/WXYT-AM 1270 Detroit from 1982-1985. RIP.

You're right about the Pistons being on 1230 "The Gambler." Maybe they'll pick up the Lions for the regular season, since the Mudhens will be about done by then.

Noticed 94.5 XKR had the Browns first preseason game last night. There is probably more interest in the Browns than the Lions this year anyway. On a side note, Tunein has rights to stream all NFL radio broadcasts this year, after not having them last season. Not sure if they're free or require a Tun...

Noticed the Detroit Lions were no where to be found on Toledo radio for their first preseason game. Figured they would be on either 100.7 The Ticket or Nash Icon 98.3 Monroe/Toledo. Also checked the Lions radio affiliate list and no mention of any Toledo stations. The nearest to Toledo is either WTK...

Yeah, if the WBUZ call letters were still available for 106.5 it'd be a perfect fit for that station. Reminds me of an old AM station in Ann Arbor, WYBN, which supposedly stood for: "We're Your Business News" but a better interpretation of the calls for that station could have been: "We're Your Buzz...

Never mind. The transmitter is back on, with dead air again.

Seems to be completely off the air now. Maybe they were struck down by lightning.
