Good Morning friend,

I am still in the hospital but for another medical matter.

Hope to let you know more when the Drs come to talk with me.

Prayers are welcome.

Thank you.

Twitter is abuzz today, as Jason Hutton announced his move to Power Strength Training Systems last evening, following 17 years with FOX 17. No indication off the bat as to when he will actually conclude on-air work there. West a bit on 96, Jamal Spencer notes he has accepted a Sports Anchor position...

I felt the need to still check in with the WPON Listen Live function and was not let down, as Gladys Knight threw a rose at Ron's ethos, "You're like a diamond, But "she" (name your concept) treats you like glass..." and it's followed by a great Jimmy Reed R/B tune, "Bright Lights, Big City."Get yer...

If I am tuned to a Christmas station, I want to hear Ray Conniff's "Ring Christmas Bells," so good on that. Once. Typically, my exposure to the format is via Zoomer Radio out of Toronto, in an earliest hours of Christmas Day cross-state trip. Worked a small market station where we sprinkled Christma...

I recall the days of Barney Miller airing after the 11 p.m. news on 13, receiving same south of Lake Mitchell in Cadillac via rabbit ears. Morton Downey, Jr. was not my cup of tea. M*A*S*H was on 41 at an advantageous evening time in my days at Michigan State, and I recall Terry Ficorelli doing spor...

I appreciate the reminder about Jeff Kortes. He's forging a nice career in criminal defense in Grand Rapids, so his website reads. At one time, he had offices in 77 Monroe Center, at some spot below the Clear Channel GR radio cluster. Used to see him broadcasting HS games 30 years ago and he was hap...

Maybe the scheming scout is Master Sergeant Barry Sadler, Mr. Positive!

Say you have an irregular heartbeat, then go right into a Rams Horn live read. I could produce this show.

Now THIS is Sports Radio!

It's ON! "There's some problems!" Way to fly into it with some optimism!

I was not a burnout victim, though trying to be unofficial office leader in a "hub and spoke" operation (feeding other corporate radio peers newscasts and weather), with a emphasis du jour of "Write longform web stories, then promote them in newscasts, so we can sell digital ads!" going on would hav...

The billboards are all over the Metro.

I got to interact with her during her time in Cadillac, before she hit the I-75 corridor and got to Detroit. A vivacious reporter, best of luck to Veronica!

As someone who heard a bit of Joe Blake and saw the team at work in Lakeview Arena back when, I thank you. A treat to go at intermission and cram myself in a room with smokers, to slap down a PBR!

It is incredibly frustrating that MLB playoff games cannot be found easily OTA. WMVP now being the Bears flagship station may play into why I don't get much offered there. I live in Grand Rapids and 96.1 airs the Oversized show, with some form of statewide network so that tamps down any prospect of ...
