I've voiced complaints about 'J's audio in past months.
The console mike usually (to me) sounds very fringe-y and quantized, like it's been through too many sample rate conversions; often sounds like early ISDN. The non-live spots and feeds often sound a lot better and cleaner than the live host.

Studios are where WJZZ used to be, on the boulevard. Haven't been by there in awhile.

Bell Broadcasting's WCHB, which occupied 1440 for many years, originated from there as well. It vied for the R&B audience with WJLB, which then was on 1400.
WJZZ had formerly been WCHD.

Ok, we get it. Please, Lord, make them pull the "Winner Winner Breakup Dinner" spot and its variations out of the rotation of repetitive casino and gambling site ads. That, along with Kevin Hart and the grating-voiced "King of Live Dealers" girl. Makes me long for a return of Draft Kings' Jessie "Ma...

If you want a good laugh, and see how well the digital media team at Loco4 keeps up with things, check out the "Meet the Local4 Team" page at the ClickOn site (match the name to the face?). https://www.clickondetroit.com/team/ Demond Fernandez hasn't earned his spot on the website yet, apparently.

Right now at 11:15 EDT I have it on 88.7 and KUHF from Houston is coming in over top of Pure Country 89. Is it common for this to happen at this hour? It's not "common" but not uhheard of. The amateur 6 meter band (50MHz) was also open to the west and south last night around that same time of night...

All clubs' Field Day sites welcome visitors, both hams and from the general public. Some have a separate "GOTA" (Get on the Air) station set that unlicensed visitors can operate (with a licensed control operator on hand). For those not familiar with this annual nationwide, event, here's info about i...

Hey WDIV, it's annoying AF that the storm warning ticker is accompanied by a trio of loud warning "bongs" that mute the on-camera talent's program audio, which seems might just be relevant to the immediate conditions.

[EDIT] Well, I thought they may have figured this out. But, no.

NBC News is preparing a complete brand update for “Nightly News” as the program celebrates 75 years.

So that's just the post above that says there's a free offer.
Doesn't address the question about traffic reports for Mid-Michigan, which still are not a thing on SXM.

FREE starting May 25th through June 6th.
Includes SiriusXM app and 100+ channels in your car (if you have a not-activated SXM-enabled radio). No strings attached, they say.

Wow... this thread gets me wondering... Silverstines ... where was this? I distinctly remember that name, and may have been there but don't recall where it was. Lambrecht .... Was this the one on Gratiot just north of 10 mile? (that would put it in Roseville, but barely north of East Detroit). Hal'...

In Detroit, The Pearl TV consortium uses WMYD as the ATSC 3.0 host for many separate streams of competing originators. The main services of WXYZ, WMYD, WJBK, WDIV, WWJ are carried as ATSC 3.0 OFDM on Scripps' RF 31 transmitter/antenna in Oak Park. If you look at what actual transmitters and location...

Anything like it in MI >? I used to ride my bike to Bauers Industrial in old redford in Detroit ! Bought Xtals to use in my novice station from them.. I only got to Bauer a few times before he closed up, I think in the late 80s-early 90s. It had that characteristic smell, like every old ham's basem...
