I didn't see catch the news that morning... damn.

Was there a video of the end of the newscast?

I've been monitoring the new 101.5 overnights over the past couple of days and have to say I think they're really on to something. My audiophile ears give two thumbs up to the processing they're using, and the playlist is an engaging mix of mostly '80s hits with some older and more modern material ...

I fully agree. Coast FM did make something of a splash when it launched and could often be heard as background music at local businesses. For a while, it was fresh, engaging, and seemed like a station that Manistee and Onekama could really embrace and call their own. As with 1340 before it, it seem...

Hey, not all of us here in Manistee are stuck in 1950. Next time you're in town, perhaps we could go have a coffee. In my opinion...operators who have dared to operate an FM station here have mostly missed the mark in terms of what our community would actually tune into and support with advertising...

And still, technically NONE (except for WCMV) of them will reach Manistee. Unless you have a really good antenna

I can't, for the life of me, think of a single reason why anyone would want to purposefully insert themselves into the economic quagmire that is Manistee. Hell, even Duluth would be less cold and inhospitable. I've lived in Manistee 5 years now. Not the most ideal place, but not terrible. I've been...

Correct. Appears to be owned by the same as Eagle in Gaylord. But not simulcast with Gaylord.

Main mailing address is Gaylord.

I'll try to re-post Cheboygan from early-mid 90s. At the time was TCI. I usually mix something up or forget something each time I do this from memory.

I don't know where the new guy is from. It is reported that he went to CMU as his college education.

Well CMU is fairly typical of those in the Tri-Cities and Northern MI markets.

I think many stations will end up attempting to up power (mainly to improve signal in the outer reaches of their markets)

I wish that would happen in the Northern MI market to cover what was lost. But sadly, not exactly going to help certain areas. And the translators are still crap.

I was going to say 'asinine' but then I'd be pointing fingers

Good Lord... this thread is insane...

CMU has something weird with the signals on WCMW and WCMV. I live in Manistee, which isn't fair from WCMW tower. I can't get the signal from WCMW. However, I can get WCMV with nearly 50% strength. Drive 17 miles to my Uncle's house in Wellston. He picks up WCMW with a near 80% signal, can't get WCMV...
