Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now

I think after a while when a business holds a dominance for a period of time, they start to ride on that "name" and then slack off on production. In the case of a small market with only two channels competing against each other for ratings, it won't make much of a difference. But I agree, it's quit...

Re: Channel 7 provides fake traffic detour to avoid WB M-59 accident

Assuming the accident was west of the Dequindre on-ramp, Dobry Dr / South Blvd to Rochester Rd should have been the proper alternate route in this scenario

Re: It's time to move on from Juwan Howard

When I first heard of McDaniel's suspension, I was wondering if it was for something unrelated to academics (such as legal issues that aren't severe enough to warrant immediately being kicked off the team, with a condition being that he can't leave Washtenaw County)

Re: New Years Eve shooting inside Walmart in shithole Grand Rapids suburb

This Walmart is near the Wyoming - Rentwood border. Kentwood lacks a Walmart of its own. Isn't 131 the boarder? That far South is higher crime? I thought south of 44th was where the rednecks lived. Division (which was US-131 prior to the freeway being built) is the border. Fun fact: Going south alo...

Re: Open Letter to The Grateful Dead Station

Rumor has it that another silent group of stations will institute an all Moby Grape format, which will debut one morning soon at 8:05. Another rumor has it that the other silent group is a pile of dysfunction and have a greater chance of losing yet more licenses to the FCC. The only way to top The ...

Re: You Wolvies hearing anything about Dug?

Some rumors that Dug McDaniel is in some trouble, not clear what the deal is. Either injury or more than likely academic. As far as I can get, it sounds like he might be academically ineligible next semester, beginning Jan 8. That's the end of the Michigan season if true. Betting McNeese +10 tonigh...

Re: No Packers on FOX UP....

This might be the first time this has happened since WMQF was the FOX affiliate (or maybe the first couple of years of WLUC-DT2 being FOX before the grandfather clause allowing WLUK to be seen on cable expired)

Re: 98.9 is being sold

It seems like WCSG 91.3 was the first NCE-FM band station in the Grand Rapids Area to get a substantial ERP. By the time they applied, WKZO-TV was considered to be the CBS station in the market, and WJIM-TV 6 only had marginal viewership. That and the fact that 91.3 is near the upper edge of the NC...

Re: Ratings Day in Toledo

A new record for 105.5! Congrats to them on their 1.1 share! It takes incredible skill to lose by a half share to a country station from Tiffin! By the way, the crappy Dallas station on which Q105 is modeled is allegedly flipping to a simulcast of 820 WBAP on January 3. https://radioinsight.com/rat...

Thunder is close to being behind Jethro FM!

Re: WLDR

92.3 and 99.3 serve no purpose given their suboptimal location. 101.9 on the other hand ought to be a valuable stick. The fact that once great station is now an after thought is so disappointing. With Benzie County out of the market, I think 92.3 and 99.3 would no longer count against the market ca...
