Got me all excited, thinking a flip was imminent. Thanks for NOTHING, MW

This will be interesting for sure. They should have had a local morning show from the beginning. This might actually increase ratings for the station. There seem to be fewer Nash-branded stations compared to the years the Dickey Brothers ran Cumulus.

Why not brand it 93-1 W4 Country and bring Bubba over to do mornings with someone like Roxanne or a Renee Vitale?

Just stop already.

Very interesting if this happens. Whilst I agree 995!!YCD!! (gag) sounds unfocused, off brand, and just bad right now they aren't going anywhere soon. I'd love a competitive battle.
NASH was doomed from day one with that horrific launch and so much baggage goes with that name, which means zero to Detroiters, it was never going to be a serious contender.
Broadway for mornings makes perfect sense.

If WLLZ can be brought back after over 25 years to a different spot of the dial there is no reason to think Cumulus can bring back the W4 Country brand to Detroit. The W4 brand that was around longer in Detroit than Wheelz was. No reason either a simulcast could happen or one station is branded WFOR-FM (assuming the Miami TV station allows the calls to be used for radio) and the other WWWW-FM.

Having known Broadway for 20 years, I am pleased to hear he is getting this chance.

A simulcast would be a waste- way too much overlap in signal, even with 102.7 moving closer to the market core.

Does Cumulus feel being a powerhouse in Ann Arbor is a better bet than moving the branding and taking a chance in Detroit? Wheels is fading, so what’s not to say a revived W4 would do the same?

Ive never listened to WYCD on 99.5, prob. since WOW FM.

And btw Wheelz is fading bc iheart has their head up there ass with the corp BS playlist.Until they prog. a more local Wheelz throwback playlist of classic rock.
