Re: You Wolvies hearing anything about Dug?

Some rumors that Dug McDaniel is in some trouble, not clear what the deal is. Either injury or more than likely academic. As far as I can get, it sounds like he might be academically ineligible next semester, beginning Jan 8. That's the end of the Michigan season if true. Betting McNeese +10 tonigh...

Re: No Packers on FOX UP....

This might be the first time this has happened since WMQF was the FOX affiliate (or maybe the first couple of years of WLUC-DT2 being FOX before the grandfather clause allowing WLUK to be seen on cable expired)

Re: 98.9 is being sold

It seems like WCSG 91.3 was the first NCE-FM band station in the Grand Rapids Area to get a substantial ERP. By the time they applied, WKZO-TV was considered to be the CBS station in the market, and WJIM-TV 6 only had marginal viewership. That and the fact that 91.3 is near the upper edge of the NC...

Re: Ratings Day in Toledo

A new record for 105.5! Congrats to them on their 1.1 share! It takes incredible skill to lose by a half share to a country station from Tiffin! By the way, the crappy Dallas station on which Q105 is modeled is allegedly flipping to a simulcast of 820 WBAP on January 3. https://radioinsight.com/rat...

It would be funny to have both the Spurs and the Pistons still working on very long losing streaks when they play in January

Thunder is close to being behind Jethro FM!

Also, both All Christmas stations have a slight uptick

Re: WLDR

92.3 and 99.3 serve no purpose given their suboptimal location. 101.9 on the other hand ought to be a valuable stick. The fact that once great station is now an after thought is so disappointing. With Benzie County out of the market, I think 92.3 and 99.3 would no longer count against the market ca...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs

Dropping stuff like "the New BIG..." and "The Fun Hits..." begs the notion of having someone to do that kind of Work!

Re: FM reception in the southeast part of the US

When I spent a month in Babson Park, FL this past March, I was able to consistently pick up Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, and Orlando, and would occasionally pick up stations from as far away as Key West, the Redneck Riviera, far southern Georgia, and Dothan, AL

Re: The story of Battle Creek television history

WUHQ owes FCC rules for its existence and ABC affiliation. If the WZZM-TV tower wasn't required to be so far from WSPD-TV/WTVG, there wouldn't have been that large area still not covered by ABC. As it is, WZZM-TV is almost like part of the Northwest Michigan/almost Traverse City market, with WPBN a...
