Re: Bally Sports Plus Streaming App To Launch June 23

What a bunch of horseshit. I’ll listen to radio and use ‘alternate’ streaming services on a per game basis.

I can’t remember the last time I watched the Tigers on tv.
I don’t watch the Pistons.
And the Wings games that start at 9pm eastern and later are too late for my schedule.

Bite me Bally.

Re: Red Wings move on from Blashill

Trotz would be a solid hire.
Paul Maurice, maybe.
Jon Cooper has one year left on his contract. Don’t know if it’s an option or not. Wings could buy out the final year.
Joel Quenneville, no.

Re: Red Wings move on from Blashill

My, my, my, what short memories we have. Recall the shitstorm going on when Blash was hired as the lowest paid NHL head coach. Boobcock declaring he was staying in Detroit for a long time. Then, two weeks later, boom, he’s off to Toronto. I’m not giving Blash a free pass. The Wings had as much a han...

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

I’m guessing this application has nothing to do with power and everything to do with signal obstruction. The ongoing construction of the supposed 54 story skyscraper (on the site of the former Hudson’s Department Store) would obstruct the 106.7 signal toward the northwest burbs. Multi path would be ...

Bally Sports Detroit App

Been streaming the Wings games most of the season via Bally Sports Detroit App on my Apple TV. (I do not have catv service just internet). Until about a month ago. It just wouldn’t stream. I uninstalled the app. Reinstalled it. Did the passcode with my iPhone and identified my provider (WOW!) I even...

Re: Latest Nielsen #'s show radio's diminishing relevance

Does anyone know what the “persons using radio” number is?

I guess nowadays that would be persons that would agree to carrying around a ppm monitor. If that is even used anymore…

Re: Library sizes

In my experience, I’ve found “Library size” to be arbitrary depending upon the format, the PD, MD and or consultant. During my time in Oldies radio, there were so many different ways to play with the rotations to make it sound like the station had a vast library, when in reality there were only 600 ...

Re: WCAR, Dark ?

So I heard something interesting today. Listening to WCAR/1090 and definitely heard a sweeper with legal IDs for both WSDS and WCAR.

Did Birach sell 1090 to Vazquez Broadcasting?

As of this afternoon, 1090am appears to be simulcasting programming originating from 1480am. Modulation seems adequate.

Wishing Mr. Blaha a speedy and successful recovery.

Why not have Mario Impemba fill-in during Mr Blaha’s recovery?
He’d be great.

Re: Could Detroit support a FM commercial Spanish language station?

I think the original question is a bit too broad for a yes/no answer. In reality, anyone can support anything. A population can ‘support’ a business with an unsustainable business model for a long time. Much of the analysis previously posted, narrows down the scope of the question. I submit: given t...
