Re: End of The Road for WBAI 99.5fm NYC pt 2

When the local staff at the NYC station makes the national leadership looks like conservative business people, you know you are dealing with some fringe left wing crackpots.

Re: September numbers are in; are WTNR"s numbers truly this terrible ?!?!

1340 still has the WJRW calls - WBBL was moved over to 1490. So it is possible that 107.3's numbers are accurate.

At what point do you blow up 101.3 and try something completely different. I understand their role, but are they even taking anything away from WLAV at this point?

Re: Catholic radio in Detroit

I live in Whitmore Lake and I can't hear WDEO at all at night. CBW dominates the frequency. Even the daytime signal is quite noisy and seems to be not as strong as it once was. Even when I lived in Saline, CBW cut in very often at night, especially during the winter months. My preference would be i...

Re: Nexstar in Flap With DIRECTV and AT&T-UVerse

I've noticed WOOD and other stations in this scenario have stopped telling affected viewers they have the option to view the station for free using an antenna. Further proof as to what these standoffs are all about.

Re: Fm translators

My car radio doesn't have an aux input for audio, so I bought a Bluetooth FM transmitter off eBay a couple years back. It's been tuned to 107.7 since I've had it. Looks like I may need to find a new frequency to park it on soon. I find 87.9 works pretty well for mine - the only thing it has to batt...

WWTV-FM / WWAM Aircheck from 1969

I found this on YouTube - a roughly 20 minute unscoped aircheck from WWTV-FM and WWAM from 1969. Based on the audio quality I am assuming it was recorded off of the FM, although the AM appears to be the primary station at this point.

Re: Lansing - Nielsen Audio 12+ AQH results - Fall 2018 survey

My .02.....probably all it's worth: The only thing that surprised me about 92.1 is that it was as high as .8. This station has .2 written all over it. I have seen zero promotion whatsoever for it, and obviously the product leaves much to be desired. WUOM scored respectable numbers in Lansing - not s...

Re: 94.5 The Q - new format is Adult Album Alternative

I like this choice of format - it appeals to a group of people who most likely feel that radio has nothing for them. That being said, and knowing what we know now - why wouldn't Cumulus spend the past two weeks telling listeners to "make the switch" to 107.3? Why not hammer away to change the preset...

Re: WBBL gone

Four days in, and here is what we have: The new Ticket has a top of the hour ID that IDs 1340 as WJRW Newaygo/Grand Rapids. I thought at first maybe it was a foreshadowing of a change to WLAW, but it definitely states 1340 before WJRW. Incorrect top of the hour ID...... The website for the former WJ...

Re: Spectrum subscribers lose access to WXMI

I think we are going to see a lot more of this, as large station owners continue to demand big money for broadcasts they give away for free over the air. My cable provider breaks down the fee paid to local providers, and it is now up to $13/month. For free over the air channels. I noticed WOOD isn't...

The RDS on 107.3 just now temporarily displayed Thunder Country 94.5 & 107.3.....back now to the typical WBBL message.

Eric Zane just went live on Facebook to say that the entire WBBL staff has been blown out. Looks like big changes are imminent.

Re: 98.7 as Restaurant Music

I haven't been to any lately but I can image that once businesses discover it, they will for sure flip to it. Heck I'm even going to promote it. Maybe we can get 12 oaks Mall to switch to it instead of their Sirius XM the Blend they have on. My chiropractor also uses The Blend at their office. I'll...

Re: Now that Midwest is fixing up its K'zoo cluster...

I seriously wonder if anyone is aware Fuel 92.1 even exists. There has been zero promotion to the station. The only publicity the new format received was an article in the LSJ, and that dealt more with the death of the sports format. The playlist is all over the place, and I can't imagine anyone bei...
