Re: Classic Aircheck Thread

An aircheck is either scoped or unscoped. A scoped one just shows the on-air personality talking, while an unscoped one has everything, the personality, the music, the imaging, and the commercials.

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

I honestly think Biden will win again. Trump hasn't really gained new voters for a while now. Yes, his passionate base will get out and vote, but he won't get too many independents, blacks, women, college-educated, and other groups that you need to win an election. Roe V. Wade being overturned didn'...

Re: PARTY 103.3 Over/Under

I thought Party was going off the air last night. During the traffic report, the reporter said "one last time" and said "Thank you Toledo", and then went to dead air after the commercial break. Andrew Z was back this morning, and the FB page is still active. I wonder if that particular reporter left...

Re: Classic Hits 96.7 WBVI

The Wolf when I've listened seems to go a little more deeper than WRQN. It has a rock lean. Where WRQN seems to play the same 200 hits everyone knows, the Wolf plays the hits, but plays more of them. I heard "Stupid Girl" by Garbage on there a while back. It was a big hit, but seems to be ignored on...

Re: Q105 rebrands to a 90's and 2000's format

When they first flipped, Talk Radio 1470 had Imus in the morning. Imus was past his prime, starting to fail in health, and was damaged goods in part due to the Rutgers controversy years earlier. I'm not sure who replaced him after he retired in 2018. The Zone is technically still around, but only on...

WIOT and WLLZ both run half-hour shortened podcasts during weekend overnights.

Re: Rupert Murdoch Steps Down as Fox Chairman

Rupert didn't run Fox for the most part for a few years now. Lachlan's been running the company and making most of the decisions.

Re: Q105 rebrands to a 90's and 2000's format

100.7 as a talk station would be very identical to WJR from 8 at night to 5 in the morning. Mark Levin, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro and Red Eye Radio would almost certainly air there. I don't know Cumulus's current shows right now that are syndicated talk. Talk radio 100.7 had Mark Levin :x and near th...

Re: Relevant Radio expanding into Dayton-Cincinnati

That's a long time ago now, though. WIOT was still decent for a few years later when Grizzly was still there and playing metal at midnight. But then the bean counters, Andy Stuart, Brian Wilson, Andrew Z, etc. ruined both clusters and now Toledo radio makes North Korean state media look listenable....

Re: Relevant Radio expanding into Dayton-Cincinnati

As an avid CHR/AC listener at the time, I thought Toledo's stations in those formats easily beat the socks off their Detroit counterparts. I used to DX WVKS and WTWR from Macomb County when Detroit had no mainstream CHR. WRVF had the tagline "Soft Hit Music" and an interesting lineup of specialty s...

Re: Alex Trebek house demolished

Seems like this is common in LA. Demolish an old mansion and build a new one. They did the same thing to Betty White's house. Too bad as Alex's home was beautiful.
