Re: Ron Cameron
I knew I took the day off next week for some reason! It would be a class move for WPON to play "You Can't Keep A Good Man Down," by James and Bobby Purify, right before the show starts. Either side of an 11 o'clock ID. Never can tell with traffic and new mobility adjustments about a punctual show st...

Re: Blunder 107.3 ties worst AQH share ever; WGRD expands lead over WLAV
MW, you do have to give Greg credit for focus in his post. Let me say someone ought to give a little more attention to the rotation on WKLQ. Should I be hearing whatever the tune is about "drinking alcohol till my friends come home for Christmas" in my morning and evening commute? I know the bodies ...

Re: Cumulus 2023 Cuts Have Begun
I have no ironclad recollection, but it may have been Sportsrap 7-10, because a replay of JP McCarthy's "Focus" used to take up the 10 p.m. hour, a long news then Sports Final ran 11-11:30 and "Night Flight 760" with Jay Roberts began at 11:30. They apparently ran Jay off in '87, so forgive my citin...

Re: Mel Vande Gevel and Jim Francis
Mel was done with his communications role at the Grand Rapids Public Schools when I met him in the early 00's, with the prospect that he join the WOOD Radio news team in a part-time capacity. Great guy, great voice, knew the business but the changes in technology were more than he cared to address. ...

Re: Radio Favorites
Because of Bruce Martyn, Paul Carey, J.P. McCarthy and Jay Roberts, WJR in the 1970s. Got to enjoy Arthur Penhallow on WRIF in the 80s along with Steve Kostan and others. I'm an old horse, no doubt, having drank from the corporate trough myself outstate and man, things were better before my time in ...

Re: Another one bites the dust
Corporate consolidation is more of a drag on the industry, for talent's sake than AI at this point, but we shall see. "Don't forget your slant for 'Market X, Y or Z.'"

Re: WJOI 97fm 1987
It was my understanding that John Fetzer's 92.9 in Cadillac, WKJF had a sideband that pumped Muzak at many outlets in NW lower Michigan. It was a 100kW signal and did the trick down past Big Rapids, Clare and on up through the Leelanau, with a tower near Tustin that got out over much of upstate lowe...

Re: Another one bites the dust
"Another one bites the Just" was simply laying there, I do pity the young who think there's a career-length path possible in broadcasting, particularly with AI as a most valid "thing." I see MAB promos touting the variety of jobs the industry holds for them and do grimace a bit.

Re: WJOI 97fm 1987
WGER was what my Dad had on, in the houses he would build around Saginaw in my youth to young adulthood. At night, they would play John Doremus, who I thought was a music host instead of just being a resource of minutia. He would close segments with "now put that in your Pipe and smoke it." (a phras...

Re: Really MeTV???
MeTV dumped out of M*A*S*H Friday night for Lester Holt's NBC Nightly News, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. As west side visitors, my wife was boggled and asked me what I did. The easy response was, the same as I have done most of the weekend. Sat there, beyond serving as suburban errand boy! We get ...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs
Dropping stuff like "the New BIG..." and "The Fun Hits..." begs the notion of having someone to do that kind of Work! I haven't been in corporate radio for nearly a decade but would say there ain't no one on site to take up the tasks of brand management. I hear Michelle McCormick doing evening voice...

TV Sports Directors In Flight!
Twitter is abuzz today, as Jason Hutton announced his move to Power Strength Training Systems last evening, following 17 years with FOX 17. No indication off the bat as to when he will actually conclude on-air work there. West a bit on 96, Jamal Spencer notes he has accepted a Sports Anchor position...

Re: Ron Cameron
I felt the need to still check in with the WPON Listen Live function and was not let down, as Gladys Knight threw a rose at Ron's ethos, "You're like a diamond, But "she" (name your concept) treats you like glass..." and it's followed by a great Jimmy Reed R/B tune, "Bright Lights, Big City."Get yer...
