Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations

Interesting. Is the harmonics situation an issue involving 92.1 broadcasting from the same tower, or does it involve something else? Its not so much that 92.1 is on the same tower, but rather that the two stations share the same transmission line and 3 bay antenna on the tower. Its my understanding...

Re: RadioGPT can talk. It can research. It can take your calls. And it could be coming to your market.

Happy someone made a post about this. It's very cute that in the Q&A following the story the Futuri execs swear up and down this is not about cost savings but delivering a better product for the listeners. Right. I heard the demo and was not impressed. To make claims about it being a "better produc...

Didn't their soft ac consultant pass away?

He passed away in 2019, per the article, so I doubt his passing has much to do with a shift happening nearly 4 years later.

That's really lame if they're using the same sat feed as 99.5!!!

I didn't realize WGLI had dumped local programming.
Usually those deals have market exclusivity....so this really suprises me that they'd be using the the same feed in the same market.

Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations

The proposed tower is owned not by Crown Castle, but by a company called KC Properties out of Muskegon.

From all that I've seen, it appears WGHN-FM is a full A that can have 6kw up to 100 meters HAAT.

WJIM-FM Local Air Talent?

It appears that the last of WJIM-FM's local talent, McConnell Adams has left the building for a job in Mississippi. This lead me to wonder who is actually on the air at 97.5? According to this webpage, https://975now.com/djs/ "At Townsquare Media Lansing, we do our best to support our local communit...

Re: Unused AM allocations

There really are no unused AM allocations per se as there has never been a table of assignments like FM and TV. Once an AM vacates a frequency, others on the same or adjacent frequencies are free to make technical changes that they were previously not allowed to do when the former facility was licen...

Re: WJMN dumping CBS?

There has to be something else at play here. Nexstar would not intentionally f*up WJMN unless there is some trading about to take place. I bet WJMN is combined with WLUC one way or another down the road. Who owns the combined operation remains to be seen. I’ve been wrong before. https://en.m.wikiped...

I remember when W4 106fm was Quad. I still have a few W4 Quad 106fm t-shirts. Was that in the Detriot area? Yes, W4 was a Detroit original. The studio was located on Jefferson Ave. 2930 East Jefferson to be exact, I know that place well. From a Google Street View of that address, it appears the STL...
