I’m undecided on the Royals. I don’t see the pitching holding up. There are a few slouches in the lineup that need to pick it up if they want to catch Cleveland. Perez isn’t getting any younger, and even DHing more, won’t keep hitting .340 Cleveland has been known for collapses in the past. I see th...

That means they do care some. I think you mean couldn’t care less. AM and FM are dying, AM more-so, but not as fast as you may think. AM was supposed to be completely dead by 2020 but it’s hung in there. 2040 or 2050 may be another story, but it wouldn’t completely shock me if it’s still around to s...

I can see Adell making unreasonable demands under an LMA, similar to how the proposed CBS affiliation collapsed in 1994. Adell wants to sell, but who else would buy? Marquee only buys in small markets. Would Gray look at a large market? Unless a buyer comes through, or Adell caves on the CW, I am th...

WBBM has a full powered FM. 780 isn’t even promoted during reports. WABC has an FM repeater on Long Island- not sure how much that factors into ratings.

They would need more play by play rights than just MSU to have a shot at some success. You would have to be local most of the day, and with engaging hosts. People don’t want just local in morning and afternoon drive and national stuff off the bird. Who would you hire? There’s also the fact it’s on AM.

New launch date is June 3. Any bets on if it's postponed again?

Someone on 97.1 was talking about picking up Verlander. Hopefully tongue in cheek, because pitching is not the problem so far.

There's not a ton of production in Toledo either. Parker Meadows isn't hitting. Jung won't come up until he can defend better.

WJR at 1.7, perhaps an all time low.

Who is fired first?

Not on a full market FM. Maybe a translator or throwaway AM for that coveted 0.2 share. It would be better than some of what is on these signals currently.

Isn’t the station required to provide a board op as part of a brokered/lease agreement? Anything else would indeed come out of Parker’s pocket.

I’ve been out of town the past few days so thanks for the update. May 16th sounded like a strange day to plan a debut- wouldn’t a Monday make more sense?

A 10 PM newscast on channel 50 would be nice. Will be interesting to see if any additional heads roll. I'm still not over WWJ-TV refusing to break into programming on a wall-to-wall basis last August as a strong tornado ransacked I-96 near Webberville. Could their argument be it isn’t their market,...

Bernie being gone is about 25 years too late, but better late than never. There is a reason he bombed in New York.

CHOK could use 103.3 ever since that was abandoned. They'll ditch 1070 first chance they get.

CFOS Owen Sound will be off AM soon too. That leaves Windsor and CKNX as the only AMs near Michigan (unless you count CFPL 980, which puts a marginal signal into Port Huron).

It's only a good contract if they win the Super Bowl. Otherwise, too much money.

Despite the low power, it's much higher than 92.9. I'm guessing it's to replace 630. Chatham isn't very large and to my knowledge the station doesn't target anything outside of Kent County.
