Re: The "personality" of radio stations

IMHO, the personality aspect took a hit when PPM came to Detroit. Seeing listeners tuning out in real time scared the hell outta Management. Reaction? Shut the jocks up. It never recovered. Second place: digital platforms. Took people-power away from making a solid analog station. (Do more with less ...

Re: Lone Ranger on WXYZ-AM

I think, but I am not 100% sure. I would have to reference Dick Osgood’s Wxyie Wonderland book.
It ran from 1933-1954 according to a piece that ran on Michigan Radio today.

Re: Snowmageddon?

Was anyone NOT predicting today's ending of the world, or did all the forecasters fall in line to scare the crap out of every school and county office and wet the lips of every lawyer? I use the NWS/NOAA website. I like it. It’s straightforward. No ads. It’s usually pretty accurate. They forecasted ...

Wings and coaching

Aside from the underdeveloped talent coming up from the Griffs to take the place of injured players, the Wings aren’t totally el sucko. The latest losses have been 1-goal games, not blowouts. What is irritating the hell out of me is the coaching. Jeff Blashill is a good guy. He really means well. He ...

Re: Detroit’s Broadcasting Hotties 2019

My wife thinks Dave LewAllen is hot-hot-hot. She met him in person and said he was a hunk. She said tv doesn’t do him justice. She is a good judge of hotness.

Re: Are most sound engineers half deaf?

Just for shits and grins, I threw one of my daughter’s pop music files on the ProTools just to see the waveform. Ugh. Looks like someone drew a line with a thick magic marker. I would interject that some sound engineers are “told” how to make something sound, like a recording or broadcast signal. Mos ...

It’s going to affect WDTW and WMXD on the Cadillac Tower. To what degree and how, I cannot speculate.

Re: Looks like the Orbit Room is finally toast; share your memories here!

Wow! Thanks for the info, MW. I go a little further back to the Club Eastbrook days. Saw a lot of oldies groups there in the early 90s: Mitch Ryder, Three Dog Night, and others. I recall Red Hot Chili Peppers and Gin Blossoms playing there, too. Eastbrook Mall was an also-ran back then. Can’t b ...

Old WDTR Tower gone

FYI: Passed by Lawton St the other week and noticed the old WDTR tower was gone. The transmission line support was gone, too. Building is still there. Some signs are still there. That building had quite a storied history. Thought I saw a video on YouTube of someone going through it some time ago ...
