W4 was a weak biller when it was deleted from 106.7. Perhaps not enough people in the building knew how to effectively sell Country? It was poorly programmed in its final year, but WYCD was poorly programmed, too, at the time. I heard airchecks of W4 from either 96 or 97 and the station sounded real...

I think you're completely misconstruing the nature of the complaints, sirrealone. It's not that people suddenly feel P-U Country 93.1 is a great station, but rather the fact the local FM dial is becoming increasingly loaded with stations that appeal to fringe audiences. David Corey did a crappy job ...

Well, an unidentified female jock just said "good morning" and front sold a song. It was not Renee. Have no idea if that was live or pre-recorded. First DJ on-mic I've heard in 90 minutes of listening.

So far, 93.1 appears jockless this morning.

Family Life Radio, owner of such stations as 99.7 WUGN in Midland, is buyer of WDRQ.

In fairness, 93.1 has been country for nearly 10 years. Pure Country 89 flipped less than 3 years ago.

I'm just glad it isn't BBN or VCY. This is a big, big win for 99.5 WYCD. They have a shot at being a perennial top 3 finisher in A25 to 54 and the (rather useless) 6+ numbers now. Three Christian programming stations on full power FM signals above 92 MHz is obnoxious, I must admit, especially with 2...

The buyer is... Family Life Radio!!! Now we know why they divested the string of crappy translator signals late last year (that deal closed in February of this year as I recall). This deal was obviously in the works for a while. https://www.insideradio.com/free/cumulus-media-sells-new-country-93-1-w...

92.1 in the Houston area just sold for $7.5 million, but I think Urban One was looking to dump the station quickly. That station is a rim shooter albeit a pretty good one. Probably has more folks inside its 70 dBu than WDRQ. I suspect 93.1 would fetch about $10 million on a fair market basis. 105.9 ...

Cumulus did sell 103.3 in DFW to VCY not that long ago, so it's certainly possible they are the suitor. If so, that would be an absolute shame. Their programming is of extremely niche appeal. Of course, one of the Catholic broadcasters could be looking to upgrade, too. I suspect they aren't as well ...

WDVD would be a good fit for either Beasley or Audacy, but yeah, some horse trading would be required in all likelihood.

Might Kevin Adell use some of his $75 million to buy an FM? Or is EMF eyeing a second FM signal for Detroit? Might Audacy use some $$$ from its recent sales in Buffalo and Memphis to add 93.1, and in the process, eliminate a competitor to WYCD while adding an FM signal for WWJ? If it's true a multi-...

Excellent points.

High temp in my locale has been 65 so far. Have already dropped a degree. Sky has been mostly cloudy to overcast nearly the entire day. I did pretty well with my forecast. It is 61 in Ann Arbor and 62 in Flint right now.

Many outlets called for clearing skies by mid afternoon and highs near 70.
