K Love is running out of its signature call letter series.
The W_KL series is nearly exhausted. They could take WQKL from Ann Arbor, and Cumulus could PARK WPLJ on 107.1 Ann Arbor. Remember where you heard it first.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through April 25 at 5:30p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Songs With Booze in the Title
Not in the title, though it may imply denatured alcohol. The whole song and video are about wine. Maybe the "Fifth" implies hard liquor. Sweet Blindness-Fifth Dimension #13 Hot 100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYmn2aS9KWU Madonna Ciccone could have a hit with this, and show videos from The Ciccon...

Re: WATT
W291DE is mounted at 21 meters (69 feet) on the WATT tower. It has a nondirectional antenna, despite what it looks like. The near perfect cardioid pattern service area is due entirely to the terrain variations in each direction.

Re: WPON , Time to pull the plug.
Casey Kasem could have just walked over to the WCXI Studio from the Larry Hamady Pure Food Market, did a day's voice tracking for the Oldies Format, and Jerry Tertzakian could throw in a three hour Armenian Language show for good measure. And then, every Saturday, Casey Kasem and Jerry Tertzakian c...

Re: WPON , Time to pull the plug.
As far as the oft repeated "turn the license in" "give it up" comments, it would be the height of idiocy to walk away after the array has already been built. This IS the downside of FCC arm twisting on the one year silent STA. Sometimes, a better plan surfaces AFTER the license has been turned in, ...

Re: WPON , Time to pull the plug.
The 5 kW was based on what has been revealed online in applications. The WFEN...WCXI 1985 DA Proof of Performance might reveal that even more power is possible. If WPON is really using 250 watts nondirectional in its tests, then it has already been shown to be a bad site. A similar disappointment ha...

Re: Six Michigan Cities Listed Under Worst to Live in U.S.
Warning to those who walk Jefferson Downriver. There are people there willing to trade Ecorse for Money! Always thought they should change the name of that town, ever since I read a short story in English Class based on a true story of sewer construction there more than 50 years ago. Publications li...

Re: WPON , Time to pull the plug.
Considering that WCXI could be at least 5 kW (maybe more) DA-D and 1 kW DA-N with the existing pattern from the existing Licensed Site, I think they should just stay put at the Licensed Site. If they are still bent on moving, a complete nondirectional conductivity survey should be done in the Summer...

Re: Country Songs That Crossed Over To Top 40 Radio
No. There was no MOR/AC Chart until 1961. And other than being played on some R & B stations to widen their appeal, it did not make the Billboard R & B Chart.

Re: The Ticket West Michigan
Usually they wait for Spring. Cumulus WWCK (AM) also has a CP for a translator on 107.3 in Flint. Don't know if the same crew will install all of Cumulus' CPs.

Reality And Dreams On A Fluffy Cumulus Cloud
Back in the late 1970s, I had a vivid dream that (now Cumulus' WTKA) WPAG Ann Arbor had increased power from 5000 to 50000 watts, and I was listening to it booming into Flint. Well, as REM sang, "that was just a dream". Now, I wake up, I think, and K-Love has acquired Cumulus' WPLJ 95.5 New York, an...
