Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

In addition to actually hearing some music in the morning, It's nice to not hear Tony and Michelle talking over each other. There just seems to be better Chemistry between Travis and Michelle. Since ratings have gone up it's probably best to see where this duo goes before disrupting it by bringing i...

I wonder if that purchase price includes any of the real estate?

If so - that would be a steal.

My hunch is the only the license is being transferred and perhaps a single tower.
License only. No towers or Real Estate.

Re: 1480 & 850 Shutting Down

The real estate market is relatively hot - especially residential - and GVSU evidently could not ignore the financial upside. The 850 site is just down the road from Hoffmaster State Park and 1480's site is abutted by an existing subdivision and shopping. Exactly. The shutdown has been in the works...

With WMAX at a .9 I guess the Big Guy moving over there didn't change anything.

I do cross paths with Jackie from time to time and never had any issues. If the behavior described here exists I haven't seen it.

A couple things:
- The signal has gone to crap. 88.5 FM was coming in more reliably in Byron Twp. and the far southern part of Wyoming than 95.3 when I checked Friday.
The translator is now considered a fill in which meant it needed to go directional and reduce power.

NOT GIVE YOU ARTIST AND SONG ID RELIABLY AND FORCE YOU TO STARE AT THIS FOR 15, 30 OR 60 MINUTES AT A TIME!
I haven't noticed any reliability issues except for WLAV when downtown where the signal has a hard time. What do you mean realibility?

Re: Nielsen #'s for Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Muskegon

After this book, I cannot imagine they will move Real Oldies off the FM. Just having that signal alone gives them a much bigger reach - even if a small signal, it is FM. Real oldies beat TNR by almost a share. LOL I wouldn't be so sure of this. Long term plan has been to put WGVU-FM on 95.3. Let's ...

Re: Not really a radio topic.... but it is topical.

Yes it's sad that Trump won't accept the election results, but I think it's not fare to say just because you see a sign in a yard means the home owner is a sore looser. Yes there are some die-hard trump supporters that are bitter, but not all.

GVSU could purchase 102.5 and simply change the AM station it translates.
I'm pretty sure you can't change the associated station of a translator that was assigned under the AM Revitalization.

Re: GVSU files a $50,000 deal to buy 95.3 translator from Goodrich Radio.

I have no idea if Mr. Goodrich is selling off any of his other properties. I'm guessing his 102.5 translator, might be of interest to someone else. (it's been transmitting nothing but dead air again for the past several weeks.) The 1680 AM frequency is basically worthless. It's my understanding eve...

Ifart is stupid as hell for not swapping Magic 104.9 to 101.3.
ifart doesn't own Magic 104.9 TSM does.
