Whatever they're paying Tommy Carroll isn't enough. He's managing a monster of a morning show, a heritage signal, and just beat the market dominant country station and commercial free Christian station in a DMA that is ruled by the CRC and rednecks. Honestly I would be surprised if he doesn't take ...

Again, wasting bandwidth on bullshit instead of tackling REAL issues... Agreed. This legislation will never receive a vote in the Senate, so why even bother? This is just another instance of MTG being a self-serving attention whore, something she seems to do well. Probably so. However, it's painful...

I gotta say this history of metro Detroit is very interesting and one I will look up and absorb more. I will say, keeping this thread on WJR but comparing to WWJ. Greg bowman is on morning weekends on WWJ, a real class act and longtime Detroit radio presence going back to Honey Radio days. I think ...

This thread goes to show you just how interesting WJR is as a topic. It's already shifted to a metro Detroit history/geography lesson.

Horrible drive in the winter if roads are in poor shape.

Horrible in perpetual construction zones too.

Romney is viewed by many as an aristocrat. If he were on the ticket, I'd still vote for that ticket over a Trump ticket or Biden ticket. However, the chances of he and his counterpart winning would be certainly reduced. There are more likable pols than Romney available for a centrist ticket, I susp...

The Richard D. Haase we all remember from Honey Radio was much older than the Richard in the death notice above. The original, if you will, died a few days after Christmas last year and lived in Warren. He was 87 and was on WHND from 1980 to 1994 while working in IT for Greater Media. Based on the ...

Zero chance Cumulus dumps news/talk from 760 anytime soon. Would they sell the station for the right price? Sure. Ratings wise, WJR has been a non-factor for a long time. The station has solid relationships with a number of local advertisers nonetheless. Those business owners like the station, so t...

WWJ more than doubles them in the ratings, and they are considered a non factor now. They really need a whole rebrand or format change.

I don't always agree with you, but I certainly agree with this!

I was fairly sure Richard D Haase lived in Shelby Township, not Westland...

Nope, that's a totally different guy than who I'm thinking. Two Richard D's that worked at Honey? Weird.

To borrow a quote from MASH... "Another one of Colonel Flagg's red herrings"

Fixed. Maybe somebody remembers this guy.

Thanks Mega Hertz

Baligian is the only show I listen to on any regular basis. Albom is still horrible, so is Guy Gordon. Paul W. has the same show, just at noontime. Still elitist sounding. Paul W is broadcasting today from a coffee shop in (you're not going to believe it) Center Line. The place is called Gathering ...

Richard Haase was in the IT department when I was at Greater Media. One of the nicest guys you could ever care to meet. I'm sorry to hear this. You know what? I don't think this is the right guy. This guy's name is Richard D. Burton, according to the obit. But this guy worked at WHND...can someone ...

*** This is NOT Richard D Haase ***

Somehow I missed this over the summer. A former colleague of mine was just at the estate sale:
