WMUZ AM 1200 is first on my list. What a complete and utter waste of kilocycles.

When was the last time Detroit Radio has had an A-Z weekend ,WCSX used to do Led Zeppelin A-Z and a few times a Rolling Stones A-Z and even a Beatles A-Z weekend ,also How about a Top 500 Classic Rock weekend like on a Holiday weekend, I’m not saying it’s creative but it was cool to hear this type ...

I would love to see WMUZ go 24/7 CCM. When the station actually plays music, their playlist is more varied and interesting than K-Love and especially more so than Smile FM. And I wouldn't be particularly sorry to see far-right nut job Bob Dutko banished to an AM station. As long as the paid preachin...

I used to liked when 107.3 from Cleveland would come in, drowning out 107.3 The Juice. Seems to me V98.7 had more of an AC feel to it, in the early days. Less R&B. They dabbled a bit more in New Age sort of. The format was very much like that in the late '80s/early '90s - an eclectic mix of contemp...

The Wave: 92.3 was all satellite fed, at least for most of its life, When they launched in late 1987, the format was provided by Metromedia. Which I believe was feed from Los Angeles, The same exact format 94.7 KTWV became on Valentines day 1987. 92.3 had a couple live hosts, I think near the end o...

Another '98 graduate here. The five stations I had on my Walkman presets my senior year of high school were: Q95-5, Planet 96.3, 93-1 DRQ, 100.3 WNIC, and 93-9 The River. I would soon start getting more and more into oldies as the boy bands and Britney clones took over pop stations and I outgrew CHR...

WCZY 95.5 had evolved from Beautiful Music into AC by 1982. In early 1984 "Cozy FM" began its transition into CHR, which completed at the time they relaunched as Z95.5 in or about that September. And of course, they took a step back toward AC when they became Q95 in July of 1989. Also, 99.5 was "Cla...

In the 80s, I remember:
WVAE 92.3 in 1986-1987. I believe the jocks were all voicetracked.

You're thinking of "92 Music" WNTM. WVAE "The Wave" with the new age/NAC "Wave" format lasted from late 1987 to late 1989 when it became WMXD.

I always picked WOMC over WNIC for a Christmas-tree decoration soundtrack. They played some older songs that WNIC's "safe" 150-song iHeart corporate playlist wouldn't touch and stayed away from the "newer" holiday songs by CHR artists that iHeart plays (who needs new Ariana Grande Christmas music, h...

This station is like a box of chocolates - you literally never know what you're going to get when you tune in. Could be '80s; could be '00s; could be '70s soul (they have a rhythmic oldies show on Sunday nights). I expect this kind of sonic schizophrenia from a college station like WDBM, not a comme...

I noticed this a few weeks ago. I also notice their tagline is now "Real Music Variety" instead of "Real Rock Variety." Looks like they're officially Modern AC now (which in a way they already were). I've also heard Pink, Shawn Mendes (Cancon, but it fits) and The Chainsmokers, plus "Something to Ta...

I think WHMI in Howell may have them beat in that regard. Their definition of "classic hits" includes "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, which came out in 2013. WHMI knows better than to follow the unwritten rules of the unseen "radio format police". As for WMTE, I wish them luck, but everyone, and do m...

I bet a classic country station 80's thru 2000 would not do to bad on Fm today . Like WCSX . But no . Programers still can't except the fact that it's boomers that still listen to radio from habit . Just look at the overall ratings . There is. 94.1 The Duke, WWDK Jackson/Lansing. Back to topic: 156...
