I’m eager to hear Mark’s (and others’) predictions for radio and TV this coming year.
I’m hoping that Audacy changes format at 98.7.

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
So, some weather outlets are calling for 50° plus as high on Sunday (NOAA), while some others calling for only 40° or less. It’ll be interesting to see what happens late this weekend.

Re: I'm jealous of DFW!!!
I always thought that Thom Kikot (93.9, 96.3) did a great job.

Re: I'm jealous of DFW!!!
I had never listened to COL, but I tried yesterday. Bad move. After 90 minutes of just a few good tunes, with some really bad ones mixed in; and then a riveting (lol) discussion of “What is the weirdest thing that you’ve masturbated to?”, with mind-numbing comments, I’m done. This is pathetic.

Re: Detroit Radio Ratings for September
Agreed. There is definitely NOT enough 80s exposure in this town. Someone needs to take a chance with 80s hits. And it needs to be just enough to shave a share or two from the top dog. I want ZERO local presence. I assume SOMEONE has the balls to take this on. Spot on! More 80s. More voice-tracking ...

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
The Tornado Warning for NE Oakland County was kind of a surprise last night, although the dew points have been relatively high lately (and it looks to continue for several days yet).

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
Look like we’re overachieving quite a bit with wind gusts…45mph and slightly over in some spots…NOAA’s guidance was 37mph…surprised that a Wind Advisory wasn’t issued….

Re: lack of radio posts
My post is a mish-mash of varying thoughts about Detroit radio. As a field trip in middle school around 1997, we visited Q95. I thought a radio station was the coolest thing. I attended CMU majoring in Broadcast Arts and Cinema, but I changed majors after 3 years of it. A bit heartbreaking, because ...

Re: lack of radio posts
Speaking of abrasive voices, who's the screechy shrew doing midday's on WOMC? Nails on a chalkboard voice aside, she comes across completely unlikeable. That they put that on and pull a 7 share tells you everything you need to know about Detroit radio. Not sure why they wouldn’t have given middays t ...

Re: lack of radio posts
Detroit Radio is BORING, with too many stations being more than 50% voice-tracked. They are just cash-cows for Audacy, iHeart, and Beasley, with too few local personalities. They are milking the pandemic as an excuse for not bringing more local talent back, while they line their pockets more than ...

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
Are the storms heavier and more severe this summer, or does the newer warning system (marginal, slight, enhanced) for thunderstorms just make it feel this way? It feels like the “here’s another bad storm coming” from the local tv folks is a few times a week thing….

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
Any comments from the experts on: *Tuesday’s quick-moving storms? Dew points were very pleasant up until the late morning, and it was seasonably cool. *Paul Gross called for these storms quite accurately by Sunday morning. *The wacky High Wind Warning that was in effect for about 90 minutes last n ...

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
Questions/comments for the group: 1) Why haven’t we had any “Ozone Action Days” lately? I’m surprised…. 2) Paul Gross talked for days last week about the cool, pleasant days planned for this weekend; but that obviously changed…thoughts? 3) This long term (seems like all summer) pattern of such high d ...

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV
To jaded or MW, or anyone who might know: *Customarily, storms of a severe nature seem to lesson in intensity towards the late evening or overnight. I wonder why this hasn’t been the case lately…. *Has this been a relatively rough storm season? It seems like we’ve had some calm summers the last few y ...
