Northern Michigan Radio In My Area STINKS!

Unread post by Deleted User 4520 »

I'm telling ya, Northern Michigan radio is horseshit, at least for my listening area of the north. Went to Gaylord then back to Grayling and the radio just stinked, stanked, and stunk! KLT still plays tunes that were outdated 20 years ago. Rock 105 is blah, I don't like that "new" rock crap like Shinedown, SOD, etc. Blah! TCM, well I loathe this newer country. I just don't feel a connection with these noob music personalities therefore I don't have a pleasurable listening experience. Q100 is to obscure. So many others...

Q100 probably needs a balance between the deep tracks and the burnt to a crisp classic rock tunes that the drywallers and electricians sing along with. While I get what Q100 is trying to do, there are many things that need adjustment. The logo looks like it belongs to a Country station. With regard to balancing the music, we had similar challenges at the very short lived 95.7 WBGK Milwaukee. The sound was just a little too sophisticated for a market like Milwaukee. Thinking back, only the chardonnay swilling audiophiles loved WBGK.

Two stations up there sound the same.

One sounds like a train, the other you could drive a train through the song segs.

I agree that Northern MI radio stinks, but we need to set a standard. Does it stink MORE or does it stink LESS than Jim Price?

That's an easy choice.

Who is advertising? There are many easy options that don't involve some overbearing sleazebag salesperson.

Two years ago I tried to place $50,000 in airtime buys in Traverse City. I sent out a request for proposal I got ridiculous responses if they responded at all. Those funds went to digital news media, Social media and some other places that we were able to utilize. The reporting metrics were amazing, who trusts Nielsen ratings anymore? The results were also better-than-expected.

Radio has two problems; arrogance and delusion. There are a few stations that are worth investing with. The rest of the stations are just not worth time or money. At least print is working their butts off trying to improve their product with less money. Radio tries GoFundMe.

So, here it is on a lazy, rainy Sunday evening with nothing going on. I decided to check out KLT and my assessment is the same. That station is just in a rut and living in the past. I know it's a classic rock station but damn, how many times do I need to hear Led Zeppelin, Foghat, Tom Petty, etc? Nothing against those bands but these have been regurgitated so many times for decades. Why do they refuse to change and stick with that outdated formula? Would it hurt to move onto the 80's rock scene and leave the 70's behind? And their imaging is just trash. Nothing about it makes me wanna be a regular listener.

Nothing has changed with WQON with their obscure playlist. The imaging is also lousy.

I don't understand the hate for Q100's playlist being "too obscure." I find it refreshing, compared to the repetitive classic rock formats of Detroit stations.
