Re: Amherstburg's NEW Radio Station ~ Coming Spring 2023
Just pulled up the stream from suburban Columbus and it's not blocked. Wonder if that has been fixed. I always enjoy local radio, so I'll keep it playing and see what I think. I haven't seen streams geoblocked much outside sports programming. I remember some stations back in the early 2000s, includi...

Re: WANE 15 5PM News Then Inside Edition
Not sure such a snarky response was needed, but rugrats is right. This isn't unprecedented. Rare nowadays, but not unprecedented. The small NBC affiliate in Zanesville, WHIZ does this. They definitely don't have the staffing for different crews for all their newscasts. It could very well be a staffi...

Re: Q105 rebrands to a 90's and 2000's format
I'm surprised our fellow poster who was constantly railing against 105.5 over the summer hasn't dropped in to give his .02. In any case, this doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in. They might as well take 105.5 all sports on the main signal with the Ticket format. Doesn't look like that h...

Re: Football on Q105?
1470 aired Whitmer games when I worked there in the late 90s. Don King had the call, then was right back in Saturday mornings for his weekly show.

Re: Amherstburg's NEW Radio Station ~ Coming Spring 2023
If they could/can move to 107.1, I am surprised such a thought never came up while they were originally trying to get on the air. They'd probably have much less interference to contend with, rather than the Cleveland and Detroit stations that potentially can do them harm now.

Re: CKLW Big 8 Radio Reunion and Fan Fest
Thanks for posting Windsor. Love reading and hearing these stories of yesteryear.
That old CKLW tribute site was particularly fascinating in that respect.

Re: WTVG 75th Anniversary special
I was disappointed that Stan Stachak wasn't part of the special. I am not sure he was even mentioned. He was a mainstay for over 30 years ... I wonder if he didn't want to participate or couldn't.

Re: WTVG 75th Anniversary special
Even from the high-rise dorm I mentioned earlier, where I had a north-facing room, 2 would come in occasionally. I am not sure about 4, 7 or 9. I didn't try for them all that often given that we got all four on cable, plus WKBD. This was off an older tube TV with one of those circular antennas. 50 c...

Re: WTVG 75th Anniversary special
You could pull in Detroit, Flint and Lansing easily from that location right? Toledo would be a tougher battle. In the analog days, my uncle 20 minutes southwest of Lima could get WTVG if the conditions were favorable. I don't remember him ever pulling in the other Toledo stations. I lived on the 15...

Re: WTVG 75th Anniversary special
They were my first choice for news during my UT years. I remember all the names you mentioned, and Stan Stachak was a staple in those days too. It looks like they have the full special as well as several clips on their website. Look forward to watching those.

Re: Amherstburg's NEW Radio Station ~ Coming Spring 2023
Great to see. Love when local radio thrives, and I hope that's the case for Amherstburg. I'd love to visit the area some day.
(Side note: @windsor, do all the big Cleveland FMs come in 24/7 in Kingsville? I'd believe it depending on how far I've heard them in other directions in Ohio.)

Re: So Mic_Processor
Not a beef. It’s a critique. It is a healthy discussion on radio, sorry if it offends you. Perhaps you and your “team” should do better. I haven't lived in Toledo in more than 20 years. I follow this board to see what's going on in a town where I spent my college years, and your constant gripes abo...

Re: WSPD's Automation is garbage
Maybe it's time to bring them back to monitor the station? This corporate "set it and forget it" approach very rarely works. You're asking radio companies to care. If they cared, the problems with the timing of the automation wouldn't be messed up. If they cared, the afternoon guy on Q105 would be ...

Re: WNWO to eliminate newscasts
I vividly remember WDTN not running ABC's entire daytime schedule because the signal from Cincinnati's then-ABC affiliate, WKRC, covered their market so well. That's almost unheard of now, punting some of the network shows because another city and essentially rival station carries them. Dayton was, ...
