I just read Grahams response to my post and to some extent I can say yes many songs such as "More Than a Feeling" by Boston which was a top 40 hit when I was in high school has been and still is overplayed. What I would do if I were to go up against WLAV as a classic rock station would be to offer s...

As always I was glad to see the December ratings posted. First of all the most impressive jump was with Star 105.7 with their Christmas music jumping from a 4.2% share to a 6.2% share. The Christmas boost wasn't quite so favorable for the other Christmas station "The River" that went from a 2.2% to ...

Out of the top five stations in the Detroit market ( WNIC, The Ticket, WKQI, WCSX, and WYCD) in my opinion WCSX is the best of the top five. They always beat their competitor WLLZ and they sound better than almost all classic rock stations in Michigan including WLAV in Grand Rapids and WMMQ in Lansi...

I was corrected that it was Citadel who dropped oldies from 107.3 FM and moved WKLQ to that frequency. I forgot about the ownership at the time but I thought it was a terrible move because WODJ had somewhat of a following with "All Oldies All Of The Time". When Cumulus did buy the Citadel stations o...

I just saw the G.R. area ratings for November and I saw that B-93 was number one once again. I still wonder how long Cumulus will continue this insane nonsense of playing the same modern major label country hits on their Blunder Country when B-93 has that market cornered and will continue to do so. ...

After reading the November overall ratings I further Googled Detroit radio ratings and I found that they listed a few of the significant demographics which were 18-34, 18-49. and 25-54. "The Ticket" was number one not only in the overall 12+ but also in 18-49 and the 25-54 demographics. WKQI which w...

Although WGRD is highly ranked I never expected it to be above WCSG and B-93. As I've said before they cover a wide range of music from new to old. The other thing I noticed is that all of the top ranked stations all went down slightly while some of the lower ranked stations improved slightly. WBFX ...

First of all I noticed that the top three stations in September are the same three in October. I would like to thank the Metalhead for the link that includes specific demographics for 18-34, 18-49, and 25-54. I was pleased to see that WCSX bounced back up to number four although I didn't see it in t...

I expected B-93 would top the list of stations once again. I didn't expect WGRD to surpass WCSG based on recent trends. WGRD does however have the widest variety of rock from the latest to the greatest hits of such hippy era bands as The Doors. I'd love to find out how well WGRD does in the desired ...

I saw the September ratings for Detroit came out and as I said earlier I felt WYCD would gain in the ratings. What I was
amazed about was that WYCD did better than WOMC, WMXD, WCSX, and WRIF. WYCD did better than what I expected.

Bob is right because I remember that morning when they changed. In 1973 they were still "The Goldmine of G.R." with oldies from the 50's and 60's and mostly automated. Ed Buchanan (aka Uncle Buck) and Jay Holloway were their live on air talent. In the morning drive they would simulcast with the Top ...

I just looked at the Grand Rapids/ West Michigan section of the Buzzboard and they said that former afternoon drive host and music director of WLAV in Grand Rapids is heading for Detroit and will be on WLLZ. That's wonderful for Rob to advance up to the major market of Detroit. If any on air person ...

I see that the top three remain B-93, WCSG, and WGRD. All three of them have loyal audiences and probably will remain successful. WOOD surpassed WLAV as it should considering they are the station one turns to for news and information. I'm glad that WLAV dropped into fifth place because as I said ear...

My comments about the August ratings start with the number one station WKQI. If they're number one overall for the third straight book and with an audience that has some over 35 listening then maybe one of the other stations should try to give them competition. All I can say about "The Ticket" at nu...

I thought that B-93 would surpass WCSG during the summer and that I attributed to the well attended B-93 birthday bash held annually in June. Although that may not be the ultimate reason for B-93 surpassing WCSG it certainly kept B-93 in the spotlight of annual summer events. I know a 7.6% is only s...
