I really don't know what's going on with this operation, but 1680 has not been on the air for at least a couple of months now. The translator at 102.5 is still on the air with a mono signal. In this day and age, I can't fathom an FM music station not playing their music in stereo. When 1680 was stil...

Any story with the name Trump or Biden in it.

Maybe 13 will do the same with the weather as they have with the sports reports. Just completely ignore it.

A great singer/artist from the late 50's-early 60's with big hits like Go Away Little Girl, Pretty Blue Eyes, Footsteps, etc. but his hit making career pretty much came to an end with the British Invasion in 1964. He had a excellent career after that performing in Vegas and other venues, and doing l...

George Lessens was on the air continuously with the weather from at least 11pm, when I turned on the TV to catch the news until 1 am. They too did a pretty good job of covering this storm.

I happen to own a GM product and the entertainment package works great in my 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. AM/FM Stereo, what more could you want. Fortunately I special ordered the FM stereo or it would have only come with an AM radio. The AM radio works great, picks up everything. Special ordere...

I was cruising around the north end of Grand Rapids yesterday listening to Q95 94.7 out of Indianapolis. Not being bothered at all by WKLQ on 94.5 or Jethro FM on 94.9, even though I was within a couple of miles of Jethro's transmitter site. Ya, I know they are only a 250 watt translator, but they u...

Being a radio guy, I listen to the Tigers on the radio quite a bit. I do have Bally Sports both at home and at our lake house, but when I'm up at the lake I'd rather be outside by the lake listening to the game on the radio. With that being said, I enjoy listening to Dan Dickerson on the Tigers broa...

I am fortunate enough to have a "no day" work week. It is wonderful.

Heard Soulful Strut by Young Holt Unlimited today being used in a beer commercial, Michelob if my non-existent short termed memory serves me correctly.

I've kind of lost track of Tim Steele the radio/TV guy. He did work in the I.T. department at WOOD-TV for quite a while, but he left there and I don't know where he is working now if at all. May be retired. I also knew of Tim Steele the race car driver. He was quite accomplished on the mid west shor...

I believe it was 2004 or maybe 2005 when 98.7 went to the oldies format. Robb Stewart was the program director and morning personality. In 2007 the aforementioned Len O'Kelly came back to Grand Rapids from Chicago and was the program director. He hired me to do the mid day shift starting in March of...

Well, I was working there between 1999-2003, but MW I believe you are right and Len was let go sometime in early 2001. After that it was Jeff Kelly as PD, then Scott Walker came in from Philadelphia. He was supposedly a big time guy, but never really fit in the Grand Rapids market and lasted only 9 ...

I'm still a little concerned about the Packers. They have Tampa Bay at home tomorrow. Carolina on the road on the 24th. The Vikings on the road on the 31st, then the Bears at home January 7. All winnable games (of course so was the Giants game). Sweeping those 4 games would give them a 10-7 record. ...

Actually, the towel was thrown in on WODJ when Citadel let Len O'Kelly go in 2002. After that it was just a bunch of non-descript program directors with little or no effort from management.
