93-1 DRQ in the early 2000's under Alex Tear was great radio.
WDRQ died forever when it became Doug FM

Re: P-U Country 93-1 is moving to...
While I love the WDRQ calls and agree the WDVD calls suck, that would confuse the audience. They honestly don't care about call letters. I'm not sure about not caring, but certainly unless 96.3 is going to change the format - like moving more rhythmic Top 40 - it doesn't make sense to change the ca...

Re: P-U Country 93-1 is moving to...
As much as I wish the Detroit dial wasn’t loaded with religious garbage or cookie-cutter formats, it seems that the only people who will pony up the cash for terrestrial radio facilities are religious broadcasters. If you ask me, it’s getting to be overkill. Where I’m at now in Oregon, there are at...

Re: P-U Country 93-1 is moving to...
Noticed they shut off the RDS. Thinking it will happen overnight tonight. Not that I was a H*** listener of the station but I would rather have new country then another Jesus station. Look for someone to go country soon. Maybe 105.1? Wouldn't be a bad idea. They could move The Bounce to the Detroit...

Oh, and get off my lawn.
They honestly don't care about call letters.

Re: June 2023 radio ratings
Does 95.5 not go out to clubs on weekends anymore? I used to like that. I am so old now I don't even know if clubs are still a thing for 20 year olds :( I try to listen to 95.5 from time to time so I can sorta stay up on what the kids are listening to. They do seem to play A LOT of the same shit fr...

Re: June 2023 radio ratings
What I have to say about this months ratings goes like this. First of all I never thought a top 40/CHR station such as WKQI would be number one overall since most people over 35 hate that format. I was glad that WCSX was number two overall and because of WKQI is unpopular among those over 35 that m...

Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED
Yup. 95.5 was trying to sound CHR without having to play anything with an "urban" flare. That strategy worked well for a while. Star 94 in Atlanta followed the same general strategy. Jo Jo was considered one of the very best CHR jocks in the 80s and early 90s (Howard Stern has even played some of h...

Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED
Bonaduce replaced Purtan on 95.5; there may have been an interim host in between. Then came O'Neill, then Steve Cochran (who was a terrible fit for the station). This is correct. God I'd forgotten Cochran what an awful show. Trixie Delux was indeed a co-host on the DRQ relaunch in the late 90's.

Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED
When reported in publicly published data, I know WUGN always produced impressive 12+ shares in the Tri-Cities (often a 5 share or greater), but bear in mind they - for many years - were essentially that market's version of WCSG. They now have Smile and K-Love as competition up there. I suspect FLR ...

Re: Nielsen Radio Ratings for May
I noticed that the top five remain in the same order with WCSX, The Ticket, WKQI, WNIC, and WYCD. WOMC came in num- ber 6, WMXD number 7, and WRIF dropped to number 8. So much for the successful stations in the Detroit market. I'm still wondering when Audacy will change their bottom feeder 98.7 FM ...

This is ridiculous! Terrible news. They cant go after translator stations, they go after a full Power commercial stations? What the F..... While I'm not a H*** country listener.... I'd rather have that than ANOTHER Religious station. Will there be more changes on the dial this year? Don't see anoth...

Re: April 2023 Ratings
88.7 can’t compete with 95.9 Windsor a country station. Both 88.7 did better as 89X on the Canadian side and 93.9 did better on the Canadian side as The River. Maybe bring back 89X as Alt 88-7 Windsor-Detroit’s alternative rock and put WWJ on 98.7 and WJR on 93.1Fm. And put Country on 93.9 FM Could...

I'll have to check Phoenix out.
KTU has indeed evolved, and DVD should take note. Agree on the stationality. Snooze fest.
