I've heard BYOB on WRIF numerous times over the past year.
DTE Energy paid $752 million in dividends to its shareholders last fiscal year. Remember that the next time they ask the MPSC to approve rate hikes.

Re: Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7
Lol. I had an early day at work (gotta love January construction!) and I came home whistling and humming BYOB. My fiancé was home for lunch and she says "Ugh please don't. I hate that song". I told her she's gonna have to learn to like it since 98.7 has been playing it (she is one of 3 listeners. That and ALT Nation). That's ALT's target listener. 36 year old suburban female who grew up on Hanson and thinks SOAD is TOO heavy and hard

Re: Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7
That's a great story! (How the heck does one whistle that song? Seems incredibly difficult to me.)
WRIF is playing the new Coheed single on occasion at night. Sounds nothing like their older singles. They seem to be aiming for a more rugged sound.

Everybody’s going to the party; have a real good time. Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine. Why do they always send the poor!!!????
Love the song as it was so poignant to the scam Iraq War.

2. As far as feeding me anything, she told me when we started dating that "The only thing a Jewish wife makes for dinner is reservations".
She wasn't lying
She is not into hard rock or metal at all. I am not allowed to listen to Octane, Turbo or sometimes even Ozzy's Boneyard with her in the car. But there's times I get in after her and she leaves Coffeehouse on

I highly recommend Liquid Metal, channel 40.

Re: Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7
I do enjoy some Liquid Metal, but it is not my first choice. Heaven forbid I leave that on in her car.
It isn't only her. I've had a number of significant others who hated speed/thrash/power metal.

Re: Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7
I'm noticing more gold and more 00s Active Rock tracks today. They still have to play the odd current, but so be it. If it keeps in this direction, that would be great.
Now promote and let listeners know you don't have to sit through Motley Crue and Whitesnake to hear those 90s and 00s tracks you like. Might be a good position!

Re: Noticeable playlist additions at Alt 98.7
Chop Suey by System of a Down is currently playing. I'm impressed.
Have also heard some Alice in Chains tracks in recent days. Long overdue addition. Was also nice to hear "Alive" by Pearl Jam. (How about Animal or Once? Two great tracks that corporate radio all too often overlooks.)
I'd still like to hear Big Wreck, Billy Talent, Tragically Hip and other CanCon (NO NICKELBACK) that is familiar to Detroit audiences; 98.7 continues to whiff badly on that angle.
Wish they would play Maneskin and Glass Animals much less often. The vocalist of the first band isn't as talented as he thinks; the single from the latter band just flat out sucks.
