They're too fucking lazy to update their RDS, evidently.

Still reads "93.1 Nash FM" and "nashdetroit.com"

I am unsure if the computer that controls RDS is located in Oak Park or New Center, but either way - pretty sloppy on their part!

I guess the budgetary trade off for being able to launch a local morning show was the PD covering afternoon drive himself. He does sound quite good on-air...I'll hand him that!

Nice to see Krissy land a new gig so quickly after being unceremoniously dumped from 95.5.

The Facebook and Twitter links on the station's home page are dead.

You're off to a great start, Cumulus!

[Mega Hertz]

Wow. Usually with things like this, there's usually 3-4 pages by now. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

[WOHO]

Cumulus needs a couple of decent engineers. RDS isn't that hard with a computer music base. Also, they don't even put titles on their HD stations, like WQQO Toledo, that even has the wrong time and set my car clock automatically to the wrong time just by playing their station. FIX your radio data Cumulus.

New Country WDRQ will crash and burn in less than a year they should have became Classic Country.

Classic country wouldn’t be bad on a throwaway AM like 1160, but I don’t see it working on a full power FM.

The ultra bright audio processing is fatiguing. the loud gravelly male imaging voice is fatiguing, and the lack of library depth is even more fatiguing.

Why do both country stations in Detroit suddenly fucking think no song more than two or three years old is worth playing?

Here's a great country station go to smooth country when you access the player actually this is a great website for U.K. radio www.globalplayer.com and enjoy and also the site has additional stations you can register but you need a U.K. postal code you can use mine it is W127RJ this is only if you want to access a dozen or so additional stations.

Because the modern country format fucking sucks. It's absolute garbage. Same-y sounding overly-produced pablum. Sad because there are a lot of outstanding musicians in that genre forced to paint by numbers.
