I ran across the "Redlining" maps for Michigan. I compared the map data wth the 70 dBu contour of the WNWZ translator. A very close match. They should be able to attract some really decent ratings with some kind of an Urban format. Townsquare could do to Cumulus in Grand Rapids what Cumulus is doing to Townsquare in Flint with WDZZ vs. WCRZ.
Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

RTN Price. Not guaranteed. As of 12:30, 157.71 Down 0.22.

I don't understand that statement; Cumulus has no Urban format of any kind on the air in Grand Rapids. WNWZ is owned by Townsquare.
WDZZ consistently has been the #1 station for several years now over WCRZ. Not comparing apples to oranges, just the ratings and rankings. To ANY of Cumulus' properties.

I wonder if by adding a translator to an Urban Gospel AM station and combining that to a sort of “Urban AC Gospel” format that it could have a ratings appeal similar to WCSG. Or would that only work in Grand Rapids?
