Re: One Year Since Real Oldies Went Dark

The main reason is because in the ratings "Real Oldies" as a non commercial AM oldies station always beat out "Thunder Country" a 50,000 watt station that just plays the same major label modern country hits that you can find on the worlds strongest FM station B-93. Unless your world only consists o...

Re: WTCM Audio Processing

The signal does usually carry quite well into Oceana and Newaygo counties. I agree that their audio processing sounds terrific. Agreed. TCM Is a semi-local here in Fremont and the signal is common down to Grand Haven (at least before their LP turned on) and Grand Rapids regularly. It's pretty much ...

Re: Pirate on 87.9 Grand Rapids

Last time I was in GR, I tuned 87.9 and found driving up 131 that it was strongest toward downtown and then started to fade as I headed north. It managed to finally drop out over a hill a mile or two just south of Sparta. I can still hear it here in Fremont during good conditions as there is obvious...

Re: Pirate on 87.9 Grand Rapids

An ID I recorded on the pirate was for "Radio Vision, 24 horas" (unrelated to 92.3 of the same name) which makes me wonder if they're just running the stream from http://radiotvvision.net/ or if it was a song recorded off there as the ID just came out of nowhere cutting off a song and starting anoth...

Re: WOUF Back! On 750 Petoskey.

I think when you see the new station on the air soon, maybe you're tune will change about this area. Until then, it's ok to speculate. When do you guys plan on turning the 99.9 signal on? It's sad for me (as radio is my hobby) since Live 99.9 (and others) can be heard into Ludington very regularly ...

Re: Smile FM buys WGVS 850

Mentor Partners still has that 96.5 translator which was at one time used to relay WFGR before Rewind came along (likely to piss off Sunny 97.3). I don't know what the status of that is now (FCC databases show it being used to relay 1460 WBRN, but there's no mention of 96.5 on WBRN's website), but ...

Re: Pirate on 87.9 Grand Rapids

I believe this pirate moved to 87.7 sometime more recently, though I'm not in GR to be able to check. Spanish religious type format. I am hearing it clearly in Fremont now and most of the morning with this here monster tropo opening we've had since last night. A bit rough around the edges, cutting s...

Re: WOUF Back! On 750 Petoskey.

A new 7kw station has been added by the FCC on 93.3 (not assigned calls yet) a tad east of Arcadia licensed to ... Suzanne D Henderson. Henderson? In that area right down the road from 92.3 and 99.3? Makes you wonder if she is related to Roy. What is an individual doing with a license instead of a n...

Re: Smile FM buys WGVS 850

A note about Smile FM: Smile FM has a new station signing on (eventually) in Big Rapids. 98.9 with a full-power signal of 6kw on the tower a mile south of Ferris State University. It hasn't even been assigned call letters, but there's yet another Smile FM coming on the air as a full-power. If it's a...

Re: Smile FM buys WGVS 850

This news was already posted some time back in the forums here with some better information. I'm curious what the source of that original news story was because oh my goodness, what a mess. WGVS will not become the first Smile FM in the Muskegon market. As mentioned, they have 102.5 right in town an...

Re: Jethro FM on 105.1 Kalamazoo?

Advertising a show on their Facebook yesterday, it mentions "on Jethro FM 94.9 99.5 1530AM in GR - 105.1FM 980AM 98.9/ Kalamazoo". Not a single other mention of 105.1 on there, so if they very recently switched, they sure didn't let people know or make a fuss over it.

Re: 102.7 manistee

88.5 would be a much easier pickup option for 90.9/95.3/100.5 in Sheboygan, but there just happens to be an Air 1 drone on 88.5 in Sheboygan! I quite often hear the 88.5 Air1 in Hart and Ludington as well! Those little drones can get out well over the water. Sheboygan and Manitowoc is like a little...

Yes, there is never going to be a battle won against WRVM in this neck of the woods, especially in Manistee. But keep in mind that WMOM Is a serious thorn in the side of WRVM throughout the summer too. WMOM regularly takes over their 90.9 repeater in Sheboygan, rebroadcasting WMOM on 90.9 in Sheboyg...

Re: In Mears for the weekend

Thanks for that addition. I absolutely second The Razor as a great option. They are usually very easy to hear. The Drive is the norm on 96.9 in all of this area as opposed to LAV (but also not bad); it's extremely potent. And The Q on 94.5 does usually come in well as it's a shoreline station too, t...

Re: In Mears for the weekend

You could check out my pages for radio in that area (though the actual page for Silver Lake Dunes won't be online for another week or two yet though all the content is done). There are audio bandscans from both locations that are 1+ hour each with all the usual stations. Hart: http://www.chriskadlec...
