Re: Toledo's WCWA 1230 changes?

I put them on this morning and you're right, FSR. Maybe Bellino left Xs and Bros to concentrate on his WJR and PA announcing gigs and thus it was dropped from WCWA. FSR's always been a West Coast-centric network that has never had a good national show in Eastern time mornings. If they're going to r...

Re: April Ratings

WJR at 1.7, perhaps an all time low. Who is fired first? I still cannot fathom how this station was able to squander its golden history and massive signal with such uncreative and lackluster programming. WJR does well. They have strong billing numbers. Many advertisers and they hold their own. Drew...

Re: Jammin' Oldies

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. The Beasley translator on 99.1 in Shelby Township would be a great choice for a Classic Soul format. The current podcast crap is a waste. The o...

Re: April Ratings

I drive 10+ mins and not one song is played on 955 or the other stations. How can you listen to an entire market with 40 plus stations and not hear one song. Somehow, I definitely don’t believe you. The non - commercial Christian stations play tons of music, CBC Music 89.9 plays a lot of music. Act...

Re: Jammin' Oldies

As much as I would love the return of The Groove to Detroit, I don’t think it would do good in the ratings 24years later. The best option is the internet with literally hundreds of Classic Soul stations to stream.

Re: CFCO-FM 91.3 International Concurrence Granted

I honestly think in time Blackburn will shut down all 3 of their remaining AM facilities. They will save money and have all new FM stations. And now that the CRTC allows one broadcast company to operate 3 FM’s in one market this would be financially beneficial for Blackburn. I just looked on the FCC...

Re: CFCO-FM 91.3 International Concurrence Granted

CFCO 630 and CHOK 1070 are two of the best AM signals left in Ontario outside the Horseshoe. Even a Class A has nowhere near the coverage of either. They can be the best signals, but if the people don't listen to AM it doesn't matter. The cost to maintain AM is astronomical. FM is where the audienc...

Re: CFCO-FM 91.3 International Concurrence Granted

My guess would be to move 92.9 to 91.3 the only way for CFCO-FM to increase power. Blackburn may have plans to shut down AM 630, that could be in the works. You may want to look into 920 in Wingham that may be a similar situation. 920 might be filling for a FM application as well. It’s possible Blac...

Oh wow, an ifart corporate playlist of The Carpenters, the Bee Gees, Terry Jacks and Gilbert O'Sullivan. Thanks but I think I'll go listen to cats fuck instead. Super 70's is not a iHeart station. It's carried on the IHeart app as many other stations that are not a product of iHeart. So go ahead an...
