Re: WLDR-FM

Speaking of history cards, I looked through WLDR's and they originally applied to be on 97.3 with a tower site along M-37 eight miles south of TC (which would've put their TL likely on the big hill just south of the fairgrounds). WTCM-FM originally applied to be on 101.9 from the WPBN complex on M-7...

Re: 106.7 on the air?

Just checked the FCC website and it appears that the 106.7 sale has been consummated as of yesterday (along with Trish's spinoff of WKAD to her son), so expect a new format on 106.7 soon: https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101824395&formid=905&...

Re: WLDR-FM

WOLW still has that null aimed right at the Northwestern Michigan College campus. They only send 2kW in the direction of Traverse City while Big Rapids, Cadillac, Ludington, and Manistee all get the full 50kW sent their way. With WNMC now on 90.7, I think WOLW could go 50kW nondirectional (or maybe ...

If anyone were to be indicted, it would be some of the Flint city officials that may or may not have diverted $$$ intended for replacing the water pipes to other uses

Re: Blarney Stone Petitions FCC to cancel WLDR license

I guess the bigger picture: when the fight is all over, they will still be stuck with 100,000 watt station with no transmitter in a market where there are really only three players and all three are struggling financially at the moment. What's the end game? There really isn't one. It's like fightin...

Re: Blarney Stone Petitions FCC to cancel WLDR license

So what, if anything, is WLDR airing at the moment? I heard a report 101.9 was airing the "Timeless" format that had been on 99.3. (Or was it 92.3? So hard to keep track...) From what I can tell, both 92.3 and 99.3 are airing the "Memories FM" format. 100.1 was airing it, but I haven't heard anythi...

To make matters worse, it was on Sunday Night Football! The only way it would've been any worse is if Lincoln Financial Field was full of Eagles fans

Re: Conrad on Jethro

B93 at its peak, early 00s, billed over $7 million a year. Pre-COVID, they were probably doing between $3 million and $4 million a year, probably closer to $4. WTCM-FM pre-COVID was billing around $1.5 million a year. However, WTCM has a much bigger piece of the pie than B93 in their respective are...

Re: Leslie West (Mountain) dies

Fun fact: Mountain was the name of Leslie West's debut solo album in 1969. Future Mountain guitarist and co-lead singer Felix Pappalardi (who was murdered in 1983) performed on that album

Fun fact 2: Noel Redding (from the Jimi Hendrix Experience) had a very short stint in Mountain in the mid-1990s
