10 minutes of nothing but silence. They just keep getting worse over at Audacy

Hopefully they're trying to fix the audio glitches.

There's about 2 seconds of silence between songs now

Generally, scheduled repairs happen in the middle of the night.

Maybe a studio storage failure? Are they Scott Studios?

I have filed a complaint with the FCC. I've also alerted local media so they can do investigation and reports on this. I did reach out to law enforcement - I think I got the wrong number but at least Border Control is aware of the situation.

I've listened for a couple short spurts this afternoon and didn't notice any gaps between songs.

I'm still hearing some occasional crackling in the audio chain. It's not as bad as it once was.

I listened today during PM drive, and it was fine as far as the gaps. The song choice is a different matter. I feel like they are just copying WNIC or at least did today.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Was unaware WOMC played the same Ed Sheeran song 5 times a day

I Imagine 104.5 From Saginaw went a few miles more south, and 104.1 from GR went a few miles east.

Heard almost nonstop audio glitches during "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day and "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman earlier this week.

Does no one in that building give two shits about 104.3's recurring audio problems, or is the staff simply clueless as to how to fix it? It does appear to be an automation issue, most likely.

You sure audio glitch wasn't the actual Green Day song?

(sorry, couldn't resist. It's a terrible song.)

It's definitely not my favorite Green Day track; that's for sure. Wake Me Up When September Ends is far worse.
