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...

Re: Brief observations
Some more today while driving from Manistee to Grand Rapids via Traverse City: - 92.5 WFDX is on and running full power with yacht rock-type songs - A solid number of UP, Wisconsin, and Sunrise Side stations were heard in TC -- UP: 92.3 WJPD, 92.7 WRPP, 93.1 WIMK, 93.9 WNBY, 94.9 WUPZ, 97.9 WIHC, 98...

Re: #TuckLeavin
MSU has both Nebraska and Minnesota on its schedule; those are winnable games. Indiana is very winnable; it took OT for them to beat the friggin' Akron Zips. MSU is a better team than Indiana all day long. Iowa might be a lot crappier than everyone was thinking, too. They just lost 31 - 0 to Penn S...

Brief observations
While driving from Grand Rapids to my parents' house today, I noticed a few things: - Several of the big Northern Michigan signals were listenable along parts of I-96 and US-31, such as 88.5 WIAB, 89.3 WTLI, 96.3 WLXT, 105.1 WGFM, 105.9 WKHQ, and 106.7 WSRT, as well as a handful of Flint/Tri-Cities ...

Re: Nielsen #s for GR radio - some significant movements!
If I were in charge of Townsquare GR:
1. Keep WGRD as is
2. Flip 95.7 to country, keeping Big Joe in mornings. I would play at least 2-3 pre-2010 songs per hour
3. WFGR remains as is
4. 100.5 the River adds a Hot AC lean
5. Magic 104.9 shifts to a near-clone of the Block in Kalamazoo/Battle Creek

Re: Nielsen #s for GR radio - some significant movements!
The Game (which is on a signal that covers the market very well) is almost losing to Jethro FM (which is on a daytimer AM and two translators that don't have the best signals)!

Re: Northern Christian Radio buys WLJN/Good News Media
A $1 sale price??? 😲 There's something more going on here than meets the eye. $1 is a price to indicate that some value changed hands. There's likely some donations going on. The Promise FM will finally have a good signal in TC! For years, they've covered most of northern Michigan well with the exc...

Re: Relevant Radio expanding into Dayton-Cincinnati
What's sad is the Oasis had developed a pretty loyal following in the Cincy and especially Dayton markets. In the beauty pageant 12+ numbers in Dayton, it was ahead of 92.9, 95.3, 101.5, 103.9 and perhaps others. Dayton has already lost 94.5 & 106.5 to niche programming in the past few years; now i...

Re: Smash Mouth Steve Harwell dies
Not long after the announcement of his death came out yesterday, I heard WIXX spin at least two of Smash Mouth's songs in a row. Many other stations likely wouldn't have adjusted their playlists until this morning.

Re: August 16-22 Tropo Summary
That is impressive! The best I was able to do in the RF hell that is my basement room in Grand Rapids was WCKY from Toledo and a handful of northern Michigan stations (WGFM, WSRT, WJZQ, WKLT, WCCW, and WGFE in addition to the much more common WTCM/WIAA/WOLW). Since WGVU turned off HD Radio a few mon...

96.1 the Game (50kW full market signal) is almost losing to Jethro FM (which is on a daytimer AM with two subpar translators)!

Re: KLT wipes the floor clean with The Bear in latest ratings
Manistee County should've never been added to the Traverse City/Petoskey market in the first place.
I wonder what has hurt WTCM more, losing 93.5 or getting its most popular county removed from the market.
