Re: Alt 107.7 Buffalo NY Flips to Country

107.7 is also a rimshot. Its tower is 35 miles southeast of Buffalo. Country should do better than Alternative on this signal. The Edge broadcasts from the heart of Buffalo

Re: WAQP has two new sub-channels, DEFY and True Real

Reality show-driven diginets on a supposed Christian broadcasting station; now that's funny! The fact one of the networks is called "Defy" is rich irony. :) It will be interesting to see if sister station WTLJ in Muskegon / Grand Rapids begins adding more in the way of secular diginets. So far, the...

Re: May Nielsen survey for Grand Rapids

I'm surprised 96.1 hasn't dumped Sports for Urban AC, especially since it's 24/7 national feed now. I don't even think it airs much of anything in the PBP department outside of Saturdays in the fall (it seems like most of iHeart's sports properties air on 1300/106.9)

Re: WOOD-FM transmitter fried by lightning strike

I'm surprised iHeart hasn't dumped 96.1 or 101.3's format to temporarily rebroadcast WOOD 1300 (or bumped one of the HD2's they have in the market)

Re: 2022 political predictions

Will re-districting alone flip 4 House seats? I think Republicans hold on to both chambers of the Michigan Legislature. For the gubernatorial race, Whitmer will face at least one primary challenger, which will use up some $$$ she could use in the general election cycle. The general election will be...

WLLA be like "How many subchannels can we have?"
"Fuck it, let's find out!"
WACX in Orlando, FL has 11 (!!) subchannels. Amazingly, I was still able to get a decent signal from them near Universal Orlando (from a sixth floor room facing Bithlo) on my Milanix portable TV. WACX is on RF 7 to boot

It looks like Randy Michaels gave up on the Lake Isabella allotment. It had the call letters WRAX. The plug was pulled before it was licensed, from what it looks like. Does anyone know more about this? From what it looks like, it was so close to being short spaced, and the fully spaced area was so ...
