Thoughts on Rush Limbaugh's legacy

Nine years ago this month Limbaugh went after Sandra Fluke on the air. Long story short, she was an unmarried college law school student who testified before a congressional committee. She said birth control should be included in faith based insurance plans. Limbaugh, who lost advertisers, called he...

Re: Another reason someone should take on B-93. No local morning show.

Oww Mr. Boat and Mr. knuckles. Stop being so mean. The male dominated programs you bring up were never a concern for our morning show, Our money demo was people 25 to 54, That paid the bonus money. The only show that caused us trouble was Dave and Jeri. But we managed to hold them off, and our femal...

Re: Another reason someone should take on B-93. No local morning show.

Andy you are almost always right. I've never been a programmer, but I know about something the giants have relegated to the rubbish heap. Good ol' fashioned music testing. It should be done at least once a year. It worked perfectly for B 93 in 1992, and would work for another start up. You are dead ...

Re: Another reason someone should take on B-93. No local morning show.

I disagree strenuously. Corporate radio is doing it's best to kill radio as we know it. In many places it is on life support. But one of two things will eventually bring it back around. Sometime most places a frequency will become available. Bought by radio pigs it will prosper and dominate the mark...

Another reason someone should take on B-93. No local morning show.

How miserable is radio pay these days? I believe that I posted here some time ago that I was making well into the six figures at B-93. Neal thought I was crazy when I said I wasn't worried about a tax increase, I felt well compensated. I fear that level of pay has not carried over. Matt Gilcheck, of...

The absurdity of the previous thread

The previous thread has become the most ridiculous I have ever seen. It began with the veiled suggestion from an anonymous poster that my friend Scott Winters is some sort of extreme right winger with a tendency to promote radical political thinking on the Parler website.... a site so radical and so...

Facing another uprising, is there a local newsroom anyone can depend on?

Given the terrible showing of local news during last summers riots in GR, I have little hope of anything better on Sunday going forward. Here are the dominant headlines today (Monday the 11th). FBI WARNS OF 'H*** UPRISING Open Carry Banned at State Capital Armed protests being planned at all 50 stat...

Re: Scott Winters Joins Parler and asks others to follow

I have known Scott for at least twenty years. I have never known him to take a radical political position, This is why several weeks ago i asked people to "Man Up' and admit their true identities. who ever Jesus Jenny is has suggested Scott is somehow affiliated with the Trumpanzees who stormed the ...

Re: Conrad on Jethro

The sale of B-93 and the two WOOD stations was announced on February 19, 1996. In 1992 The Miller Brothers (two Kalamazoo lawyers) bought B-93 from Fetzer for two million. A year later the station was sold to Bruce Holberg who owned the WOOD stations for 10 or 11 million. Tim Feagan had lined up an ...

Re: Conrad on Jethro

The original afternoon guy was Dave "the beef" Wellington. He didn't believe country would ever work. Conrad joined us a month or so after sign on. Turned out country worked till I Heart and it's greedy minions got a hold of it.

Who's a stand up gal or guy?

You have a real name and a screen name. Who will stand up and say I yam who I yam? (I was in the Navy too. ((Beat Army)).
