Re: Scott Winters signing off?

At some point I imagine it'll just be Free Beer and Hot Wings AI chatbots left in that building.

Joy 99 hit all time high
Does anyone know if they get credit for the 99.3FM frequency and the 'worship' frequencies on 96.5FM & 98.9FM if someone just writes down 'JOY' in a diary? They could be eeking out a share of extra listening and working the system a bit with those translators.

Re: New Radio Ratings July 25

Yes. Broadcast radio reaches 93% of the American population. That includes 93% of the 18+ population and 98% of the 50 and over crowd. The 18-34 demo is the lowest but still stands at 87%, according to Nielsen. While some companies are expanding their reach with digital, podcast, and other initiativ...

Re: New Radio Ratings July 25

According to her Facebook page and their website, shes doing 10-3 at WHNN in Saginaw.... I meant, why is she gone from Thunder? She's still with the company and is local. Why would they have an ill-fitting jock track that shift instead of someone in the format? Especially since they have Kim tracki...

Re: New Radio Ratings July 25

What happened to Kim St James? She was one of the best jocks in that building and was excellent during the Nash era. She actually knew the format and audience well. I noticed the former iHM guy from across the street Cumulus hired a few years ago to serve as local GM (and who presided over the count...

Re: Former FOX 17 morning anchor Deanna Falzone Suing Station

Maybe the bosses were just following the bible? Timothy 2:12 says that since Deanna is a woman she should remain silent.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

Tony Gates was the best when his Co Host was Christy Swan back in 1996. I'm still unsure what happened to her? Ironically she took over for Tony's most recent co-host Michelle McCormick on the now-defunct i96. That show was a disaster and she was never heard on GR radio again. She and Dave Justice ...

Re: I'll give Cumulus credit for one thing...

107.3 is the best range east, I can get that easily to Okemos. I always wondered why they just didn't put the AAA format on that signal with a straight flip from BBL? Why all the signal swapping to get a two-share AAA on the air? Even though Nash wasn't doing great, it easily outperformed the Thund...

Pesh might not be done “Fishing” in GR. He might have to “sit this one out” until he catches the big one.

Re: My Cumulus RDS impersonation...

WHTS' specifically plugs it as being the first all-female morning show in the area. Talk about grasping at straws. Not that wading into this pool of irrelevancy is necessary, but Shelly Irwin has been hosting The WGVU Morning Show for years. Is she not 'all female' because she handles the show solo...

Isn't WNWZ a full blown urban now? It's still listed as Urban AC?

Re: WVFM got JACKED up!

On the other hand, if it offers up Mojo in the Morning from Detroit, it could succeed. I think WSNX would agree to disagree. That station saw very little return on an imported show and just had it's worst overall book in over 20 years. They would be smart to go back to local but corporate has let t...

Re: Scott Winters Joins Parler and asks others to follow

Ah well, Rick always said Scott was an idiot. Turns out he was more than right and is likely disappointed in what Rick has become.
