Huh? WTF does this have to do with PPM’s in major markets basically being turned off and rendered useless because people are focused more on doing the right thing and quarantining? That statement belongs on a Fox News message board not a radio forum.Ben Zonia wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 8:51 am WJR increased bigly because almost all the other stations, TV and Radio, have a Hate Trump/Blame Trump Political Agenda.

November 9 update: Due to app errors, I have disabled the Tapatalk plug-in. As such, the Buzzboard is currently unavailable in Tapatalk. I am trying to do a clean reinstall, but each reinstall attempt is generating database errors. I am hopeful that the issue will be able to be resolved in the next few days.
Thank you for your patience!

Few people under age 55 care to listen to Paul W. or Frank the Asshole, and only middle aged Jewish women care to listen to Mitch. 760's lineup sucks.
Maybe Mitch will pick up a Gefilte fish sponsor.
Motor Homes work for Frank and Paul.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
Re: April Radio Ratings
As it turns out, the WSCR tower is a taller and "more efficient" radiator than the one WBBM used before they diplexed with WSCR.
The 42 kW nighttime groundwave field radiated by WBBM is a bit higher now than it was with 50 kW before the diplexing began. It is even higher now than that of WSCR running 50 kW (see below).
Downsides for WBBM are that their higher angle radiation generally is less than it was before the move, except for having more radiation in a wide, high-angle lobe centered at 60 degrees elevation. That lobe produces nighttime skywaves that can interfere with their own groundwave at some distances from the tower site. Listeners in Rockford, IL probably would notice the difference, for example.

Yes, someday Dave Wagner will get the credit he deserves for how much he has contributed to the radio culture of this area, both on and off the air.

On the way to work, I've been listening to Paul W. Smith more than I ever have, mostly for the interviews with people from business and government. He's more conservative than I thought, but doesn't emphasize it, which probably helps him get a diverse audience.Ben Zonia wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 8:51 am WJR increased bigly because almost all the other stations, TV and Radio, have a Hate Trump/Blame Trump Political Agenda.

In 1987 WJR had mass appeal, but no longer. They could / should play elevator/dentist office music and would cume higher.
