A (damn good) alternative to 106.7 Fake Wheels

100.7 The Bay in Baltimore might be the most interesting classic rock station in a top 50 market: https://onlineradiobox.com/us/wzba/playlist/?cs=us.wzba&played=1 An interesting listen for those who may be sick of the local FM dial here in SE Michigan. I just heard "Bound for the Floor" by Local H, ...

Re: MSU vs. UM hockey this weekend

Good info; thanks.

Perhaps this will be a wake-up call to the NCAA to make the economics of hosting such a tournament less one-sided.

Seattle gets two new country music stations on the same day!!! (No joke.)

Failed AAA 98.9 KPNW returned to its prior Bull branding and current intensive country music earlier today. It also brought back very well known Seattle country radio personality, Fitz, for morning drive. The first iteration of the Bull did well until he and Hubbard had a falling out of sorts at the...

Re: MSU vs. UM hockey this weekend

Thanks for the congrats, although I'm sure U-M will shit the bed in the Frozen Four like they normally do.

Completely agree regarding the venue situation. That regional should've been played in Toledo or Grand Rapids, not a dinky ice rink in St. Louis.

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers

Maybe make sure there are multiple people that check all graphics prior to broadcast — like the producer, executive producer, and director.
Maybe that's already occurring, yet the sloppy errors are still making it to air?

Re: Weather reporting

Get ready. Another accumulating snow event looks possible from late Tuesday night into Wednesday. A very early guess at accumulation potential is 1 to 4 inches. Long range models continue to show an extended push of mild air starting on or near April 7, so I am hopeful the Wednesday system will mark...

Re: EMF acquires WTSS Buffalo and WLFP Memphis from Audacy

K-Love pulls 3 shares and 4 shares in some markets, and even draws close to a 2 share in the Los Angeles market. Not sure I'd call Contemporary Christian music a "niche" format; its appeal can vary widely depending on the specific market being analyzed. Buffalo is an over-radioed rust belt market. I...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps

They haven't been a "soft" station in forever. The word "Lite" was removed from on-air branding around the year 2010, when Jerry Tarrants (who was succeeded by Jerry Noble) was PD. Music wise, they are closer to WHTS than to Star 105.7. Sister station 100.5 The River positions itself as "lite & rela...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps

If iFart drops the ball by installing Bobby Bones into mornings at B93, if I'm Cumulus - I'd be taking a very hard look at moving my country station back to 94.5 FM. The Q is a decent station, but recent ratings suggest it might no longer be deserving of its prime spot on the dial. If Cumulus fails ...

Re: R.I.P. 104.5 WQKT

Country music fans down that way will simply switch to iFart's WNCO or Rubber City's WQMX.

NCO has the stronger signal there but QMX has the better programming.

Re: Another leaving WXYZ

Yup, they both came from Fux 17, I mean Fox 17, in Grand Rapids.

"Sleepy" is a good way to describe 7's presentation.
