Tried to smoke his own sausage?

I think it’s a relevant discussion. P1 Listeners to Oldies stations were (are) very passionate and loyal. But, since the question asked was “what’s stopping Oldies stations from making a comeback”, I’ll address a few angles. Music Fatigue - The entire library consists of 600 - 1200 songs. That’s not...

I'm not sure we can talk best ofs without talking about 90s WNIC. Jim Harper and the Breakfast Club mornings, Gene Maxwell middays, Chris Edmonds PM drive, Alan Almond Pillow talk evenings. Their air lineup was consistent from my earliest memories in 1995 until Harper went to Magic in 2001. Each of...

Calvert:
Thank you for the enlightening info. I, too, receive the “neighborhood spoofing” calls on both mobile and home
phones. Didn’t know what it was. They never left a message, and I’ve never answered. I assume the CID is false and not the originating number?

Kind of difficult to do this without more parameters but, eh, it’s for fun. 1. WJR - To be the go-to station for generations really says something of the institution. Ok, I can hear the grumbling “it currently is a shadow of its former self” I get it, I get it. But consider how long the station has ...

I’ll vote for am1090. It’s a waste of real estate and electric resources.

We need more polka music on the radio.

Damn, straight, MW!

In response to Art Van ,first of all it’s to bad that all those people lost everything I feel sorry for them and Thank God Every day for everything I have, but I’m just saying that in catastrophic situations like the hurricanes and any other types of emergencies radio has always and will be there b...

No hosts or shtick, just music

Bingo

Yes! Emphatically, yes.

Question? What is 5G going to do for you when the electricity is down?What is it going to do for you if your in a area where there is a hurricane and there is no internet service ,just ask the people in the fire ravaged area of California if they all have broadband and how it’s working .There is on...

Nope. No live personality. (Harper?!? Seriously?!?)
Very limited use of jingles.
It’s a PPM world, now. I’d do MANY more cold segues.
In fact, I’d hand out cash to have it played in stores.
They need a weather/traffic report every 20 minutes from 5a to 9a. No yuck-yucks in am drive nor pm drive.

“It was tried and failed once by WDRQ...” Nope. The change from Doug-FM to Nash, was decided by the corporate morons at Cum-U-less. Not because revenue was bad, not because ratings were in the tank, but Cum-U-less needed a station for clearance in Detroit for the Nash national ad sales. What does De...

Art do you think WPON will remain Oldies and if so what will happen to WCXI? I can’t predict what Birach will do with those freqs at this point, Kev. I thought the last time WPON was on the air, the oldies were played when time blocks weren’t sold. WCXI was classic country. If I were to make a long...

1. Metro Detroit DMA will continue its slide and drop rank to #16. 2. Entercom/Detroit will be the undisputed top dog in ratings and billing, followed by iHM, Beasley, Cumulus and RadioOne. 3.iHM will be required to divest even more stations to comply with bankruptcy proceedings. 1130 will be sold. ...
