Re: WDIV trying to fan some racial flames??

It should be brought back. It should never be forgotten. Not saying he was a great guy, but he didn't deserve to die for not opening up his hand. Absolute brutality. We're lucky we didn't have riots over it. I know it's hard for cops and they didn't have tasers back then, but that response was far t...

One AM station in this book. (.3 isn't worth mentioning). I remember when WLUP 1000 had more listeners in GR than a .3 share.
Some cars don't even have AM radios anymore, right?

Re: People in Washtenaw County love WUOM

Just wanted to pitch in and say that 107one is definitely my favorite station. I live in Canton and can get it with no issues at all. It's a rare station nowadays, left alone so it can appeal to the area, and they do a great job of it. When I hear 107one, I feel like it's a last-remaining vestige o...

Re: Tiger Baseball on TV

That would launch more lawsuits than "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. MLB misread where media was headed and refused to listen to the warnings. They knew better. This is killing their game and their hands are so tied up in potential litigation that they can't do anything about it. If this was th...

Re: Dan Dickerson

Dan Dickerson is one of the best radio play by play guys in baseball. His mentioning of "the art of pitching" is a tribute to his former partner Jim Price. You will just find anything to bitch about around here, won't you? And yep, they get caught eating sometimes, it's called a "bad bite". Makes th...

Re: Tornado coverage

A few years ago on a Monday night there was a tornado ripping through Dallas but the Cowboys were on Monday Night football. They were showing radar in the corner in a tiny box. They only broke away from the game at halftime for about 90 seconds. We're talking an F3 tornado ripping through heavily po...

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?

"I call them "safe" songs but I think the reality is theyre just focus tested as being recognizable and generally liked. That means a song that to the largest audience WONT change the station if they heard it...because they know it and generally like it." Good answer...but do you know WHY they (com...

Re: Local Media Blames Messenger for WSJ Column about Dearborn

Was moving a cabinet into a van. I can do it myself but it's difficult. My Muslim neighbor - her brother sees me doing this, he comes right over, doesn't even ask, and helps me lift it into the van. Fuckin' Jihadist.

Re: Local Media Blames Messenger for WSJ Column about Dearborn

As far back as I remember the only time we've really had any religious strife it was when some right-wing Christian came to town to burn the Quran in front of the largest Mosque in the country. I begged the media not to cover him, don't give him what he wants, but they can't resist the easy story. N...

Re: Local Media Blames Messenger for WSJ Column about Dearborn

I used to live near Schaefer and Michigan and took many long walks through the neighborhoods, with their beautiful variety of bungalows. I would try to nod and smile at the ladies in the burkas, but they would look in another direction. . [/quote] Maybe they could feel the bigotry coming off you.

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon

I don't think you can tell a lot from December numbers. A lot of businesses switch to Christmas stations during the month and fewer people commute during the month and aren't in their cars listening to the radio as much. December numbers are always a bit whacky.
