Re: Tudor Dixon Michigan's own Sarah Palin?

TC Talks hates Dennis Muchmore because he hates the Meijer corporation. The fact of the matter is Mr. Muchmore was the one man trying to help Flint residents get their concerns addressed. He was doing the right thing. Sadly, he was presented with lies and misinformation just like Flint's residents. ...

Re: Todays Music, Todays Wheelz

Jazz 106 was a great station, and undoubtedly, its ratings success contributed to 98.7's decision to dump Active Rock in favor of Smooth Jazz. In one of the old R&R Nielsen ratings page screenshots previously provided by Mega Hertz, WJZZ at one point was the top rated station among Men 25-54. There ...

Re: Todays Music, Todays Wheelz

Shall I keep calling 106.7 "Fake Wheels," or shall I switch to W.I.N.O. (Wheels-in-name-only) ?

The answer to your question is because state "experts" repeatedly told residents that the water is safe.

Re: Worst firings in broadcasting

Thanks for the link to the informative article, format this. Let's face it - he was fired because he was a leftover from the Fetzer era and Mike Ilitch wanted his (vastly inferior) buddy, Jim Price, on the air. That move was disgraceful, in my opinion. Thankfully, Ernie Harwell joined the TV booth a...

Re: Jethro FM on 105.1 Kalamazoo?

If this is permanent, this is a big, big upgrade programming wise for 105.1 FM! Sure would be nice if Jethro could find a way to get a better translator in the immediate Grand Rapids area. 94.9's signal isn't nearly as reliable indoors as 92.9, 99.9 or 104.9 in southern Kent County. Given the need t...

Re: Abc12 breaking point

It's debatable if she can even do news reporting competently. Her speaking style is very unusual. Hopefully she's received some much needed coaching and will sound better on-air than she did in Detroit.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

One Canadian band I like is Big Wreck. I am really, really diggin' the "ROQ of the 90s" weekend being featured on KROQ Los Angeles this week. Sure would be nice if Fault 98.7 could do something similar. (Hearing Powerman 5000 "When Worlds Collide" on KROQ right now. Heard Prodigy ten or fifteen minu...

Re: Are the Whitecaps on the radio in GR

The Whitecaps' web site is a bit of a mess. Could find no info regarding an over-the-air radio affiliate or network. The last such articles I could find on the matter via Google search were from 2019. It appears their broadcasts are only available via live streaming now. Didn't the Whitecaps also us...

Re: New Radio Ratings July 25

I noticed the former iHM guy from across the street Cumulus hired a few years ago to serve as local GM (and who presided over the country format's botched move from 94.5 to 107.3) is gone and has already been replaced. When did that occur? 96.3 WDVD morning man, Blaine Fowler, is now evidently voice...

Re: Abc12 breaking point

Sources tell me Ronnie Dahl will be joining WJRT as a reporter Monday.
Now, there's an example of a Detroit market alum who actually deserves to be working in a much smaller market. She is someone whose voice I will never miss hearing.

Re: We are in a recession

Nope. :) Handing out bundles & bundles of money to people to sit at home and contribute nothing toward the output of products & services for an extended period of time is a significant reason things are as they are. Hardly a U.S. only problem, by the way. This isn't simple inflation we are facing; i...

Re: We are in a recession

I certainly agree that there are (rightfully) concerns with the Democratic Party ranks regarding Biden's handling of the economy, and perhaps even more so, his messaging regarding the topic.

Re: We are in a recession

The decline in GDP is mostly a function of supply chain inefficiencies and to a lesser extent, insufficient pool of labor. The Fed's aggressive interest rate hikes worry me in that it could cause a prolongment of the supply chain issues that currently exist. It becomes more difficult to "in source" ...

Re: MI Supreme Court bans discrimination based on sexual orientation

I agree with the dissenting justices. The intent of the 1976 law was to prohibit discrimination based on gender at birth, not sexual orientation and not fake gender. I certainly believe that refusal of service or job discrimination based on sexual orientation should be outlawed in all secular instan...
