This note refers to Matt, the obvious idiot. Good one, 🤡 Maybe stay in the shallow end where you belong. If you think "weirdo" is an insult, you're pretty gd thin-skinned. I wouldn't go as far as to call you an idiot. But I gotta be honest. I'm having a difficult time believing you work anywhere ma...

This board sure is full of negative Nancy's.

"As for Jerry Noble, I'd bet he turns up at 103.9 The Fox." Id never want to disagree with Military Intelligence...but i'd bet a week's salary that wont be happening... You are probably more in the loop than I am. I still think Jerry would sound good on The Fox. :smokin Colonel Flagg was never here...

If the signal is weak in southern Monroe County, they are definitely broadcasting at reduced power.

Not necessarily

This is why you can't hear CIMX clearly around Toledo anymore:

Someone at Cumulus in Saginaw will probably take over. I don't know who's left in the building in Flint.

As for Jerry Noble, I'd bet he turns up at 103.9 The Fox.

Excellent info! That format you described on AM 1050 was also briefly attempted on WCUZ-FM in Grand Rapids, positioned as "Country Plus." As I recall, WCUZ-FM was rattled a bit by the success of 95.7 W-Light. Similar to Ann Arbor, its longevity was brief; WCUZ-FM would soon return to a 100 percent ...

I've only heard people refer to Shelby Twp as "Shelby" in very informal conversation. I don't believe I've ever heard Clinton Twp referred to as simply "Clinton." I have no idea if Matt Benz means Oakland Twp when he says "Oakland," but since all the other temp readings he provides are usually from...

I saw a billboard for this station westbound I-94 by Paw Paw

I would bet good money that some well meaning Gen-Z employee of Lamar or Outfront took the order, and just booked any empty boards they had in "southern lower Michigan"

Matt Benz still refers to the non-existent city of "Oakland." A simple phone call by WWJ's PD to AccuWeather would fix this. I'm not defending this, but to be fair, there are recent maps that label the townships simply as "Oakland" "Shelby" and "Clinton". Further, we don't get wigged out when someo...

Flanker stations going after the competition is foolish enough. Flanking your own station is beyond ridiculous. Sure, WCXI did it with 92.3, but the circumstances were much different. It was still regrettable to blow up WTWR just to create another version of WCXI on FM. As for Duke FM, they certainl...

or at the old machus red fox........ I got some friends i want you to meet... :P WFDF should hire you and Mega for morning drive. :smokin I miss the old Machus Red Fox. Andiamo ain't that great... I miss Hogan's too. Used to run into Mitch Albom in the bar. I'm going to see how an old Monkey Ward's...

It's interesting to watch the same names get thrown around every time there's a shake up on the dial. Jesus Christ, many of these people are pushing 70, if not over. We are watching the names of those who were big when radio was relevant ride off into the sunset, and there are few names behind them...

Trophyhead brings up a good point.

Did Sima, or his successors, ever get any "working johns" at the Rockford station? The way I remember the story, the porta-crapper only showed up after complaints from adjacent property owners. What a classy business we're in!

Bad idea. Classic country to succeed generally needs to be 90s & 00s focused. WYCD plays material from that era where & when it makes sense to do so. WYCD is a top 5 biller among FM stations in the market, and that was before P-U Country 93.1 went away. Why risk cannibalizing that? In places like A...
