Why should radio airplay be given greater weighting than digital downloads, streaming, etc. ?

Seems to me Billboard is the most balanced method of determining a current single's popularity.

I do wish to thank Reese for revisiting this topic; his OP for this thread was an excellent one.

The Tigers stink. The early winning streak was fool's gold.

This is a .500 ball club at best as currently structured.

Please have respect for the rest of them...

I absolutely would show respect to those who are decent people. MTG fails to qualify for such courtesy on my part.

I'd love to know if her parents hold similar viewpoints on current affairs & act in a similarly obnoxious manner.

On wzzm13.com this morning, of the first 7 or 8 stories I perused: - Story receiving the second highest billing is from Cass County (not even in the DMA! South Bend serves that county) - Headline from Battle Creek - Headline from Kalamazoo I wonder if 13 would ever consider leasing a subchannel on, ...

Then how do you explain the 30k on TikTok.. you know the one he made in lansing..

Bots. There are also ways to purchase followers on Tik Tok.

MTG is either mentally ill or mentally retarded. I've not yet determined which.

That's really bizarre. WSB-TV isn't even owned by Mission or Nexstar, it's owned by Cox Media Group.

This reminds me of the Nexstar fiasco that occurred during the NFC title game on some of its stations, including WOOD-TV in GR.

Marquette's likely next. ABC 10's newscasts are the weakest of the four TV news operations there. Some of the on-air talent is indescribably bad. The fact Marquette now has 4 separately run TV newsrooms is crazy to begin with. For years, TV 6 was the only choice (channel 3 would simulcast WFRV's new...

So, essentially, the FCC's ruling means Nexstar and Mission's stations are now viewed on a combined basis in terms of ownership cap compliance, and on that basis, they are currently in breach. If WPIX does indeed get divested (to someone other than Nexstar), I wonder how much wiggle room that create...

That's true. Of course, the Sinclair-owned dumpster fire in Clio barely has a news department of its own at this juncture, so an arrangement with WEYI would not have been feasible for WBKB.

Another close one - and Tigers emerge victorious. :) Interesting use of pitching by Hinch, necessitated, of course, by yesterday's double header. Lange was brought in to get the very final out in the 9th. Go ahead run was scored in the bottom of the 8th. Shitty outing for Baez, who was 0-4. He flew ...

Ron once said that "every drunk in Detroit" was in the centerfield bleachers at Tiger Stadium.

After watching some of Fox 2's pre-game Opening Day coverage, I'd say that "every drunk in Detroit" is being interviewed today outside of Comerica Park.

Craig Monroe is awful. Why does he yell obnoxiously into the mic?

When has he worked as a sports anchor / journalist at WWJ? He's solely been a play-by-play man in the 25 years I've lived on this side of the state. So, no conflict exists. Larry Henry 25+ years ago did sports reports at WWJ + some Pistons radio play by play. One could certainly argue Doug "Marlbor...

Variety Hits would be an interesting idea for 94.5, but I think returning Country there may be a better idea.

B93's playlist is garbage, in my opinion. It has devolved into a pop music station pretending to be a country station. Cumulus needs to make it easier for B93 P1s to find Thunder.
