I'm also surprised by the removal of Benzie County, since Black Diamond's 95.5 and 98.1 put a city grade signal over a lot of that county. Manistee County should've never been added in the first place, as only about four TC market signals get much if any listenership (Midwestern's 92.9 and 103.5 as well as the two aforementioned Black Diamond stations)BigFreq wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 9:09 pmClearly the amount of daily commuter traffic from Benzie to TC is far greater than it would be from the northern counties. In fact, I imagine daily commuter traffic is greater from Benzie into TC, than say Cheboygan or Gaylord into Petoskey. But the subscribers desperately need those areas, and not Benzie, as it doesn't play into the signal strengths. Wexford, Manistee and Benzie Counties work well for Midwestern (in particular WTCM-FM), but they're no longer subscribing. Cinderella's sisters have other plans for the market.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:06 am Wow, the existing configuration sure didn't last long! Wasn't Cadillac added just a couple years ago?
I'm a little surprised Benzie is being dropped given its relatively close proximity to Traverse City.

Re: WJML
In Traverse during the last few days:
translator At 101.1 off air,replaced by a very weak WGRY.
AM 1210 once again is simulcasting WGRY.
AM 1110 airing WJML's regular programming.
And for what it is worth the q 100 stations are now displayed on the WJML deals website.
Re: WJML
Not sure how long this has been going on, but 1110 has been simulcasting WGRY-FM the last few times I've tuned in. Is it possible 1110 boosted their power, too? I normally don't get 1110 very well in East Jordan (even though I should) but this weekend it was coming in quite strong.
Re: WJML
I don't know the details, but an engineer has been working on the antenna system at WJML. Cleaning and rebuilding the buildings at each tower and clearing trees from the ground system. This simple cleaning could be the reason it's coming in better now!Nelson wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 2:08 pm Not sure how long this has been going on, but 1110 has been simulcasting WGRY-FM the last few times I've tuned in.

Re: WJML
In case you missed it, the front half of the WJML Building has been removed because the roof leaked and resulting problems. When I made a short side trip form Atkins Rd. and Division Rd., I saw that it was all torn up and at first I assumed it was vandalism and/or Cu harvesting.
Aside from the "American Graffiti" type historical attraction from the WJML heyday, from the famous Chicago Harrington Broadcasting family, to Bob and Tom and beyond, they probably ought to step up security.

Does anyone but vintage hobbyists care about 20th ranked stations like this?

Re: WJML
Perhaps not very many, but there are radio historians who scavenge such sites and traffic in the memorabilia. Cleveland apparently had a bunch of abandoned studios and transmitter buildings like this that attracted such scavengers. Vinyl records, test equipment, old studio and transmitter equipment and parts, old station record surveys, mugs, and other types of memorabilia are some of the items found. But you have to remember that WJML's building is still in use for two transmitters, so that is more important to protect. If I see evidence of vandalism or other strange things, I will at least ask someone who knows about it what's going on.
