Yep, boorish and sophomoric. You guys are consistent. I'll give you that much. Laugh all you want, my rancid colleagues. You'll never achieve the status that JJ holds in this market.

Better hurry, those drywall estimates all need to be written up before Thanksgiving.

Just saw where WLDR and all it's sister stations turned in in silence STA's with the FCC. Am I late to the game or are these new forms turned in? They were all silenced just prior to the big northern Michigan summer tourism season. Brilliant, huh? Haven't really paid attention since then. It's not ...

Cumulus was trying to get rid of all their Conservative Talk Show hosts, because their programming experts thought that was why WJR and WLS were going down in the ratings. They never dreamed that even this station would happen.

Mike Wheeler isn't exactly a visionary, is he?

If Cumulus wants 105.5 to hyper target female listeners, bring back the Star 105 or 3WM brands and go AC to target River head-on. "105FM, 3WM" was pulling 7's and 8's when I was there. Fred North & the Morning Crew, and Buddy Carr to drive you home in the afternoon. It was straight ahead AC, but wi...

Was WTOR a "New" AM? Or moved in/modified from somewhere else? 1991 seems a little late for a new daytime AM to have signed on. Seems to me that new daytime AM's were already not allowed by that time. Perhaps the objections dragged it out?

Fortunately younger generations now know that you're close to death and ignore you now. Too bad they didn't feel that way about Biden. He had more signs of life… Oh really? Like when he was running for president and said to a large crowd "I'm running for the U.S. Senate?" Keep the delusions coming....

Break it up, sell me 98.7, I'll run this bitch. To save money, you will be broadcasting from the long abandoned studios at the transmitter, on Lyndon St in Detroit. There might be a little extra money in the budget for an extra layer of razor wire. :smokin The guys from Doubleday who launched Wheel...

Whatever they're paying Tommy Carroll isn't enough. He's managing a monster of a morning show, a heritage signal, and just beat the market dominant country station and commercial free Christian station in a DMA that is ruled by the CRC and rednecks. Honestly I would be surprised if he doesn't take ...

Again, wasting bandwidth on bullshit instead of tackling REAL issues... Agreed. This legislation will never receive a vote in the Senate, so why even bother? This is just another instance of MTG being a self-serving attention whore, something she seems to do well. Probably so. However, it's painful...

I gotta say this history of metro Detroit is very interesting and one I will look up and absorb more. I will say, keeping this thread on WJR but comparing to WWJ. Greg bowman is on morning weekends on WWJ, a real class act and longtime Detroit radio presence going back to Honey Radio days. I think ...

This thread goes to show you just how interesting WJR is as a topic. It's already shifted to a metro Detroit history/geography lesson.

Horrible drive in the winter if roads are in poor shape.

Horrible in perpetual construction zones too.

Romney is viewed by many as an aristocrat. If he were on the ticket, I'd still vote for that ticket over a Trump ticket or Biden ticket. However, the chances of he and his counterpart winning would be certainly reduced. There are more likable pols than Romney available for a centrist ticket, I susp...

The Richard D. Haase we all remember from Honey Radio was much older than the Richard in the death notice above. The original, if you will, died a few days after Christmas last year and lived in Warren. He was 87 and was on WHND from 1980 to 1994 while working in IT for Greater Media. Based on the ...
