Re: Beyonce and Country Music Part 2
This thread has been eye opening as it has exposed several bigots. The OP singling out a pop singer who is of color crossing over to country.I saw no such uproar when Pink or Gwen Stefani did so, with success I might add. The poster who painted a colorful if incorrect picture of the country music l...

Re: Beyonce and Country Radio
It’s probably also worth noting that radio success isn’t the absolute indicator it used to be. An artist and/or song can be massively successful in 2024 without an ounce of help from radio. The best example in country music at the moment is Zach Bryan. He’s as successful as any big “radio” name righ...

Re: Beyonce and Country Radio
It has next to zero airplay. The song achieves it's status with downloads and other factors that doesn't include country airplay. Completely false. The song has been a Top 30 song (Mediabase) for at least 2 weeks now. It’s averaging about 1,600 spins per week, similar to the newest Tim McGraw single.

Re: New February Ratings
When a non commercial Christian station does better than all commercial stations including B-93 that seems to me a sign that the commercial broadcasters in the market are lacking something when it comes to relating to the market. Comparing WCSG to any commercial station is a complete waste of time....

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage
If “the other side" means countering the drivel that "we're not treated special enough" by the LGBTQ community, then it's also a pretty valid memo. It may be nothing to do with hate and discrimination, although that's always the first horse that some people jump on and run with. Jesus. Fucking. Chr...

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage
I thought Michele DeSelms summed it up very well on Twitter. She wrote that the mandate within the memo was “essentially requiring us to give equal time to hate and discrimination”.

Re: September Ratings
If I’ve learned anything from Greg it’s that WBCT plays “modern country hits”. Great insight.

Re: Emily Schuitema Leaving WOOD TV Weather Team
The number of younger TV talent that have chosen to exit lately is very eye-opening. There’s no more “carrot at the end of the stick” and they all seem to be coming to that conclusion. It’s no longer appealing to work odd hours for years and years just so you’re able to…work odd hours once you’ve re...

PPM has never been used in Grand Rapids, likely never will be.

Re: We live in fame or go down in flame................
Congrats Reese! You wrote an entire post without mentioning how much money you used to make. Radio is not the same and hasn’t been for a while. We all know this. Somehow you always seem to turn the stale “dying industry” talk into a conversation about YOU. Well done. In all seriousness, I greatly re...
