Townsquare Media

The boys from Grand Rapids are in town this week. This doesn’t surprise me and represents a dynamic and strategic move on their part. With the recent and significant move up in national market ranking size that Nielsen and the broadcasters have established for the Traverse City-Cadillac-Petoskey Met...

Re: WKLT-fm, Kalkaska and WKLZ-fm, Petoskey

I am able to report that Ross Biederman “screwed” Mike Chires out of a prior Agreement to purchase WKLT from Langer Gokey at the eleventh hour, in order to”block” Black Diamond’s growing business and strong desire of a more dominant radio marketing position in Traverse City that WKLT would have adde...

Biederman’s Midwestern Broadcasting apparently required the purging of Gokey’s Northern Broadcasting staff BEFORE the WKLT sale moves forward (here at Christmas time).

WKLT-fm, Kalkaska and WKLZ-fm, Petoskey

Are these stations presently proposed to be spun off by Gokey’s Northern Broadcasting to Biederman’s Midwestern Broadcasting?

Time will tell.

Re: 101.9 wldr

Actually, radio is now just a sideline for this man, northradiotruth. He now considers himself more of a missionary, in the narrow sense that he defines it, but not bound by any traditional beliefs of his professed religion. I'm sure that his past associates consider him something along the line of...

Mr. Wizard, you do know Metalhead owns the board right?

Re: 101.9 wldr

Wow, well, have you had your morning coffee yet, TC Talks? Talking shit about other people, Blarney Stone...and radio in general is supposed to make people feel you are an authority on the subject? It doesn’t. If you really detest broadcast radio this much, why even bother with it? Because what you ...

Re: 101.9 wldr

The latest is now: that Blarney Stone has entered into another LMA with 106.3 WWMN and the WJML cluster. Their third LMA in less than two years. On their Facebook page, they have announced the switch for their Detroit Lions Broadcast. Could it be a merger of some kind? It's a good thing 98.1 has th...

Re: 101.9 wldr

I clearly hear that BOTH stations, WLDR and WQAN, are on the air. Interesting that no audio is coming from either of them for several days now.
