The mural in the old WWJ building is really something to see. Apparently, the rubes in the restaurant business didn't do anything resembling due diligence.

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

The better question - when will Republicans throw the wannabe dictator to the curb? Politically speaking, why would you throw someone to the curb who leads the incumbent in a state like Michigan in a CNN poll by 10 points? For a chance to win one election? Because some people think facism is wrong?...

Re: Cumulus 2023 Cuts Have Begun

It seems to me that Sean was on with Paul W in the morning before Paul's move to mid-day. I never really understood what his role was supposed to be. Whenever he would chime in on the conversation, it was brief.

Re: Should I Apply for this?

Dom is only in his early 50's. Not sure how he would spend his days if he wasn't running his stations. But who knows? I was a bit surprised when he settled up there. He spent a lot of time in much warmer places, like Tampa, and Houston, places that are not known for cold, dreary weather. He also tur...

Is the BOING exactly at the top of the hour? If not, how much is it off from the real time?
It was, and yes, it was precise. It would sound during Tiger Baseball, and even during a "breaking news" special report.

Re: 950 WWJ lies to its listeners

They lie with locations too. O'Neil Stevens said in at least two traffic reports that an accident on Telegraph and Sigler Road is just north of the Michigan-Ohio line. No, it isn't. It's not far SW from Flat Rock. He's off by about 20 miles. Ryan Wrecker just did a story on the deteriorating condit...

Re: Cumulus 2023 Cuts Have Begun

Hosting a one hour daily show in a crappy time slot that is out of format to boot is not exactly a recipe for job security. I hope 97.1 hires Sean. He can backfill Jim Costa's prior time slots. MW, Sportswrap used to be 7PM-Midnight. If they want to resurrect an old show, do it all the way. Who's g...

Re: Cumulus 2023 Cuts Have Begun

It looks like it's just Lomas, per their website. Sean's name is still on the byline, but every other mention has been removed. Last night, it was Lomas Brown, and KEN Brown. :lol Makes me wonder if they are making Kenny stick around for another hour, after Mitch goes off. As for Steve Courtney, th...

Re: WJR, boring programming

In the ratings, from an earlier thread, WWJ is #9 WJR is #16 People simply get their news-talk-traffic-weather elsewhere. And those MSU or UM sponsored informercial hour are truly bottom of the barrel in terms of compelling reason to listen. Same thing for Beaumont or Henry Ford health systems info...

Re: WJR, boring programming

I'm surprised more hospice care facilities and funeral homes don't advertise on WJR. It's their demo. That is the demo. Along with Geritol complete, hemorrhoid surgery done dirt cheap, and Adjustable toilets seats! :D " Something Something Woke or go broke" " Blah Blah Lets go Brandon" " Yada yada ...

I just wonder how long Cumulus will hang on to WJR before the for sale sign goes up on the front lawn. Both WDVD and WJR could possibly go for at least 13 million. Family Life paid 10 million for WDRQ.
I think the sign has been up for awhile. They sold WABC.

Re: WJR, boring programming

I'm not feeling well, and too tired to get out of my chair to change the station, so I'm torturing myself listening to the god awful MSU Today program on WJR. Man alive, I've heard vitamin infomercials that were more interesting than this mindless drivel. They're talking about the MSU Debate Team. ...

True, but I don't know why they would care about the MSU Debate Team either. That was a full hour of that nonsense.
