I wonder if Mr. Yob will bother to get 1110 and 1210 back on-air before they expire?

1210 sits on an old landfill. That can't be good for resale.

1210 is slightly more valuable because it has the translator attached to it

Gold-based country would make sense so they're not competing directly with the 800-pound gorilla that is WTCM-FM. Speaking of good signals, that one makes it farther south on US-31 than WKZC! I'm usually able to carry 'TCM to around the Oceana/Muskegon county line (and is rock-solid to the big hill ...

A lot of stations use off air antennas to feed the satellites and translators, at least as a backup. But somebody has to notice and report it when it's silent. Off-air can work, but it can come back to bite you during "conditions" when you inadvertently end up simulcasting a co-channel FM from hund...

96.9 the Drive can be picked up somewhat often in the Manistee and Ludington areas.

In 2003 arguably the best sales team in the area was under his roof. Then he started to "adjust" things. It was an excellent plan that executed so poorly, they should study it at the Comm school at MSU. Is that around the time that they poached Ryan Dobry from WTCM, only for most of her listenershi...

It's impressive how WLAW managed to get 6kW despite being short-spaced (or nearly short-spaced) to WLAV and WJIM

It's sad that the Tigers don't even have a terrestrial radio station in Traverse City.....

Does WKAD still air the Tigers? They should be able to be picked up in parts of TC, albeit weakly

Are you sure about that? The majority in Northern MI certainly are. Station values have plummeted for a reason. Midwestern and MacGarb will never get the value of what their properties were worth 20 years ago. They will probably dissolve in a similar fashion to Northern Broadcasting when the respec...

KVAL is in Eugene. KEZI must be dominant there (Eugene was a two-station market into the 1980s)

Are they keeping their NBC affiliation?

I've also noticed that Chicago only has one grandfathered power FM, 90.1 WMBI (which also happens to be one of two stations below 92 MHz that cover most of the market). In Los Angeles and San Francisco, most of the full-market FMs have grandfathered power (with a few exceptions in each market)

I wouldn't be surprised if most if not all of these stations either have their licenses cancelled or get sold to a noncommercial entity within the next couple of years. IMHO, moving 106.3 from Ludington to TC has to be one of the worst moves in Michigan radio history. Not only did the 106.3 frequenc...

92.5 is back on the air playing 80's adult contemporary music.Not simulating any other station.Iding as WFDX Atlanta.Singal is coming in quite well in the greater Traverse City area. Ditto. Filed resumption of service notice with the FCC today: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/views/publ...

In Memphis, Audacy will move the Wolf format from 94.1 to 99.7, which runs grandfathered power (300kW)
