If WDET was sold to a Commercial Broadcaster.
Re: If WDET was sold to a Commercial Broadcaster.
Being associated with some WDET employees, I can confirm that it can't be sold - I also thought besides Coachman, Jimmy Launce and Alan Almond were also dead.
Still can't believe they dumped the music programming and went with talk - They ruined their ratings 2.6 down to .3 and over $500k in donations down to under 100k - The station breeds boredom

They need more room for fake news programming,But apparently the fake news is not working if donations are down.
Re: If WDET was sold to a Commercial Broadcaster.
Yeah, you are right, it could be Fox news come to the radio, then we would really be overrun by fake news
Re: If WDET was sold to a Commercial Broadcaster.
All news is Faked, Altered, watered-down entertainment. Yellow journalism is back
Time to stop corporations from ruining Local TV and Radio

The elite know that the American public "doesn't believe it unless they see it on TV" and take advantage of that with "news" stations.
Drives me nuts.

The losing libs love fake news. It's all they have against the truth.
Donald Trump was and is the best president this country has ever had. And he will return to glory as our leader again.

Local public stations get less than ten percent of their funds from "the Government," via CPB. Rest comes from individuals, corporate donors (which can potentially be more problematic then the "gub'mint"), and charitable foundations. Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting generally goes for facilities and distribution, and does not to my knowledge directly fund program content.
101.9 could remain non-commercial even in the unlikely scenario you propose.
It could be independently supported, like WRCJ and a few stations in other markets.
It could be operated by a church or a quasi-religious or advocacy group (gack!)
Due to terms of the UAW's grant of the station to WSU it is not likely that 101.9 could ever become "commercial."
Considering the awful state of commercial radio, yet another entry in that field would be just another clone of what's already here, and just more fodder for endless format arguments by the armchair experts here on the Buzzboard.
As to "waste of money" there are literally a million other, much larger wastes of money the feds support (regardless of party in power) that have zero actual benefit to the general public. I, for one, want some of my taxes to support the arts, humanities, science and Public TV & radio.

Nothing worst then listing to Dave Dixon chewing food like a slob while talking on the air .
Re: If WDET was sold to a Commercial Broadcaster.
Nothing better than listening to Dave Dixon doing a radio show.
Re: If WDET was sold to a Commercial Broadcaster.
Nobody is interested in hearing libs report their fake news reports. Why do you think Air America went down? Because nobody wants hear them. That's why true patriot talkers thrive. Rush, Hannity, etc. They speak the truth.

Well,J.P. McCarthy passed away Aug.16,1995 at age 63,so there's half of your fantasy. As for Cowboy,likely he couldn't tolerate the sixth-grade snark which passes as wit today ,to say nothing of the putrid "music" and horrid DJ "voices ."

Jimmy Launce ( in August,I believe) and Famous Coachman have also departed this mortal coil .
