Listened again today and noticed a theme; all female artists for half an hour and then two songs geared towards females, Bruno Mars and Jason Miraz.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

That was WLTI.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 10:54 pmI do remember this.
I also remember this station or another running the ad "Turn on the Lite..." and someone pulled the cord for the light. I think it aired during the Tigers games.

That's the way it went down. It was those ugly Power 96 bumper stickers, white, with the red lettering. And on the hit lists, handed out at Harmony House.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 1:08 pmAre you shitting me?!

They should have stuck with Planet. It's a good brand name. "Whyt Power" on a bumper sticker, or the acronym for Digital Video Disc, is not thinking things all the way through.
Gillette buried the Legal I.D. in the middle of the :52 stop set. It was a quick, low modulated "WHYT Detroit" voiced by Casey Kasem. The station was simply "96.3" at that point.

I remember working at Farmer Jack in 99 and seeing one of those stickers on the light pole. I always thought it was some fringe kook who was running for president in 1996.

No, that's actually pretty cool.CometGSR wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:48 amI figured you all would think this is either stupid or cool.. I did a little arts and crafts project with my Android device. A long time ago, WinAMP stripped many of the album art from my MP3 collection. I didn't like the album art it replaced it with so I made my own art. Looks legit!

Re: WDVD is like a 2000-current Doug FM?
If I were DVD, I would run with it. However, most of their music trends 2000 and later. If they wanted to go with 1990-today, it would be perfect.radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 12:46 pmNice job!CometGSR wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:48 amI figured you all would think this is either stupid or cool..

The WDVD brand is outdated; I think it should be ditched.
Who the heck even uses DVD players anymore?

Beat me to it. Exactly, I ditched all my DVD's and the 2 players I had long ago. It's Roku and Youtube TV for me. WDVD sounds so 2004. They could bring back Mr. Planet j/kMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 7:32 amThe WDVD brand is outdated; I think it should be ditched.

Wouldn't mind seeing 96.3 flip to Jack-FM
