Re: I hate Classic rock

The Bear played all Queen on November 2nd to celebrate the release of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. They played all the usual songs you would hear on radio, but I did hear some Queen songs that never get played on classic rock radio: Body Language Dragon Attack Hammer to Fall I Want to Break Free Kee...

Re: Format change at 101.5 Manistee (recreation of lost thread)

Wasn't 101.5 in Manistee co-owned with some stations in the Ludington area? https://www.facebook.com/theMittenRadio/ In a way, the station has gone full circle. The new format is probably not all that different from the former Kool 101.5. It was co-owned with 94.9 WKZC, then-106.3 WKLA, and 1450 WK...

Of course here we just had proposal 2 so we will see how those districts shape up when they redraw them, which I think would happen in 2019.

Re: Election day Predictions

Having looked at the Senate seats up in 2020, I think republicans holding the Senate is a virtual lock. Republicans would have to REALLY screw things up between now and then for the Senate to be in danger of changing hands. If you want my super-duper early Senate predictions, I'll say Republicans t...

Re: Pirate Radio in the 90’s

Grand Rapids had some. The biggest signal had to be the Spanish Religious station on 104.9 that was on for a few years. Wonder if it's somehow related to one of two Spanish Religious LPFMs that have come on in the last couple of years

Re: 2018 Election Results Thread

In the State House, the 104th was very close with Inman eeking out a small win over O'Neil while over in the 101st, O'Malley defeated Wiejaczka by more than I thought (O'Malley won by about 15 points; I was thinking it would be within 5 points)

Re: Old cable lineups

A recent videotape find got me some TNT from late 1997. All local ads were TC-area businesses (except one), and there were some ads for a cable system known as Cable Michigan. I couldn't find some info on this company, so does anyone have a clue as to what it was like? AFAIK, the Cable Michigan Tra...

Re: Rescan TV Channel Moves in Toledo

I think many stations will end up attempting to up power (mainly to improve signal in the outer reaches of their markets)

Could 106.5 be flipping formats after the holidays?
Oh, so close. I just heard WZOX switch to Jack FM. That makes it now 5 formats since Midwest bought the station?
With that move, could 106.5 move toward Hot AC or even CHR after Christmas?
