Re: Ratings Day in Toledo

If Cumulus wants 105.5 to hyper target female listeners, bring back the Star 105 or 3WM brands and go AC to target River head-on. "105FM, 3WM" was pulling 7's and 8's when I was there. Fred North & the Morning Crew, and Buddy Carr to drive you home in the afternoon. It was straight ahead AC, but wi...

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works

Was WTOR a "New" AM? Or moved in/modified from somewhere else? 1991 seems a little late for a new daytime AM to have signed on. Seems to me that new daytime AM's were already not allowed by that time. Perhaps the objections dragged it out?

Re: This Is Outrageous

Fortunately younger generations now know that you're close to death and ignore you now. Too bad they didn't feel that way about Biden. He had more signs of life… Oh really? Like when he was running for president and said to a large crowd "I'm running for the U.S. Senate?" Keep the delusions coming....

Re: Audacy receives a 30 day extension to perform missed debt payment

Break it up, sell me 98.7, I'll run this bitch. To save money, you will be broadcasting from the long abandoned studios at the transmitter, on Lyndon St in Detroit. There might be a little extra money in the budget for an extra layer of razor wire. :smokin The guys from Doubleday who launched Wheel...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs

Whatever they're paying Tommy Carroll isn't enough. He's managing a monster of a morning show, a heritage signal, and just beat the market dominant country station and commercial free Christian station in a DMA that is ruled by the CRC and rednecks. Honestly I would be surprised if he doesn't take ...

Re: House Votes To Lower Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's Salary To $1

Again, wasting bandwidth on bullshit instead of tackling REAL issues... Agreed. This legislation will never receive a vote in the Senate, so why even bother? This is just another instance of MTG being a self-serving attention whore, something she seems to do well. Probably so. However, it's painful...

Re: Mixed Feelings About WJR since their Lineup Change

I gotta say this history of metro Detroit is very interesting and one I will look up and absorb more. I will say, keeping this thread on WJR but comparing to WWJ. Greg bowman is on morning weekends on WWJ, a real class act and longtime Detroit radio presence going back to Honey Radio days. I think ...

Re: Manchin, out

Romney is viewed by many as an aristocrat. If he were on the ticket, I'd still vote for that ticket over a Trump ticket or Biden ticket. However, the chances of he and his counterpart winning would be certainly reduced. There are more likable pols than Romney available for a centrist ticket, I susp...

Re: "Richard Burton, from the old WHND, Honeyradio R.I.P

The Richard D. Haase we all remember from Honey Radio was much older than the Richard in the death notice above. The original, if you will, died a few days after Christmas last year and lived in Warren. He was 87 and was on WHND from 1980 to 1994 while working in IT for Greater Media. Based on the ...

Re: Mixed Feelings About WJR since their Lineup Change

Zero chance Cumulus dumps news/talk from 760 anytime soon. Would they sell the station for the right price? Sure. Ratings wise, WJR has been a non-factor for a long time. The station has solid relationships with a number of local advertisers nonetheless. Those business owners like the station, so t...

WWJ more than doubles them in the ratings, and they are considered a non factor now. They really need a whole rebrand or format change.
I don't always agree with you, but I certainly agree with this!
