Re: Jackie Green.... update
Honestly I give Cumulus a lot of credit for handling this change fairly well. The show has not worked but was given 5 years of latitude as Lori's creation. But they also have really leaned on the girl power aspect and put themselves in a bit of a corner to make changes without some backlash. Draping...

Sore Thumb Sticking Out On WKLQ
My wife and I have pretty much defaulted to the Q as our go to station in Grand Rapids. The vibe is chill and the music selection is pretty good most of the time. But everytime the WZZM weather report comes on we are assaulted with a whiny & nasally voice who's seemed unusually preoccupied with 'HEA...

What happened at Fox 17?
They are churning staff like crazy and the quality has dropped off greatly. I think a couple of years ago they were right with WOOD TV with their news product.
Today I'm watching a traffic guy anchor the midday newscast and literally stumbling over his words multiple times a story.

Re: Dana Marshall Leaving Townsquare Media Citing Mental Health Reasons
I just watched the linked video and didn't think the mental health comment was facetious at all. Good for him for acknowledging that this situation was no longer in his best interests, for whatever reasons.

Re: H*** Show & Michigan Sports Network to 96.1 FM
Listened a bit this morning and it sounds like they're dropping the ESPN branding locally. There were some very clunky imaging pieces that now identify the station as 'The Game'. Bad sweepers aside, it'll be interesting to see where this goes. The station was essentially built as the anti-Huge stati...

Re: #'s wise, Something IS afoot.
So the only all female show is in third place in females? I don't know if this says more about the audience or the show?

Neal and I did a pretty good job kicking Sterns ass. IMVHO. Ummm, what? In what world do you think you were going after that audience? You were clearly a tertiary choice for most of your career behind Rick & Scott, Andy & Chuck, Tony Gates, and Gary Allen. Eventually Free Beer and Hot Wings put you...

Re: Scott Winters Joins Parler and asks others to follow
Scott's facebook posts have become increasingly slanted over the past year. I quietly unfriended during his latest rant about news coverage during the insurrection. Apparently an anchor was being 'mean' in discussing the rioters. Also using parler is an obvious dog whistle to the Proud Boys crowd, t...

COVID Outbreak at Townsquare?
Word around the campfire is that Kalamazoo Townsquare has some employees testing positive and more possibly quarantined. Anyone know if they're still in the building or working remotely?

Re: Former WLAV & WKLQ PD Dead From Covid 19
No one seemed to have any issue of my very valid criticisms of his programming abilities when he was alive and IN TOWN. Sheeesh. His lack of ratings success is the main reason his name appeared on the Buzzboard over a lengthy period. He will long be remembered here as a person who played a signific...

Re: Big Book For Cumulus GR, Cracks 11 Share for January
-Although #1 (barely) in ages 12+, B93 did have one of its weaker books of the past 20 years. Interesting that today I heard that the '20 In A Row' gimmick is back. I didn't know that had come back, is that a recent change? I think the last time they brought it back was when the original Thunder we...

Is this the first time that one of the 'Big Three' has failed to place a single station in the top 10? Congrats on a first for Cumulus.
It seems pretty clear why Wheeler wanted Lori out of Detroit, you just have to wonder why they would rehire her?
