I agree that WWJ sounds terrible today.
Signal was strong, but just took a dump at 9:30AM sharp. Now very weak again.

Re: July Ratings

WMKM has a lot of other random blocks of programming that are outside of the Gospel format. It's an interesting little station. I would love to hear Classic Soul during the unsold hours.

Re: Paul W. Smith moving to middays + other changes at WJR

Sad thing is that I was in historic Lahaina, Maui a year ago. My wife showed me a before and after pictures from there, with the hotel we stayed at in the center, the waterfront docks near there and the business district there. It’s all been incinerated and is gone. In all seriousness, I am not mak...

Re: WWJ 950 broadcasting at reduced power?

Sitting at the intersection of Maple Rd & Middlebelt about 20 minutes ago, CFCO was louder and clearer than WWJ, which sounds very faint today. Here at home, as of this writing, WWJ is mired in the noise floor. Basically unlistenable.

Very little noise on CKLW, on the kitchen radio.

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

WLLZ currently playing "Fortunate Son" by CCR. :lol

WLLZ should be going after both WRIF and WCSX. Yes, that means playing current product. This version of WLLZ reminds me of 1992-93 when Wheels was basically on life support.

Play to win, or don't play at all.

Re: Hum in am signal

If you have line of sight from the tower to the studio, a microwave STL would eliminate all of these issues. One of our stations had a 42 mile microwave STL and it was trouble free.

Re: P-U Country 93-1 is moving to...

93-1 DRQ in the early 2000's under Alex Tear was great radio. WDRQ died forever when it became Doug FM Yes, I was there at the tail end of Alex's tenure with DRQ 2.0, and for the beginning of Doug FM. I had already "aged out" of DRQ's target audience. I would have been around that age when Jerry Cl...

Re: P-U Country 93-1 is moving to...

Where did Cumulus park the WDRQ call sign? WLTI was parked on the daytime AM in Melbourne, FL, and later in New Castle, IN where it remains today. The parking of old call signs was a "Dickey Lew" practice, so I am a little surprised it continues today. As far as reviving the DRQ "brand" there really...

Re: WMPX and WMRX simulcasting again

WGEO FM was in MONO in the early to mid 80's!! Did you work there? The single wide trailer in the woods under the tower in the middle of nowhere, off M-18 was quite a sight...or "site" 😆 The tower is still there for WMRX, but the trailer is long gone, from looking at Google Earth. Seems like there ...

Re: 13ABC now branding as 13 Action News

"Action News"

Branding like that sounded really cool...in 1975.

I picture an old Dodge van, with bright TV logos, a chain smoking driver, a cameraman, and a reporter rushing to the scene of the latest big story. :lol
