Re: Holy shit, 9&10 has a new logo.

If anyone is good at Photoshopping, how about making a mock up of the new logo by adding the CBS eye and the call letters? Maybe put the call letters under the 9 and maybe superimpose the EYE at the 9 o'clock position a little? The yellow isn't very flattering tbh. Ask and ye shall receive: https:/...

Re: WCAR, Dark ?

I find it odd that both WSDS and WGVU/WSLI have licenses to increase power at night. Are there daytimers by choice on 1480?

Re: RIP The Edge (for the third time)

104.9 puts a good signal into Albion (which is 30% African-American), but that town is one of the poorest in the state and its K-12 schools were so bad that it was forced to consolidate into Marshall schools

Re: JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR

It makes me wonder if Townsquare might kill off (or downgrade) WFGR and move Magic 104.9 to 98.7

Re: Z93

I have the RadioLand app (which shows signal strength using Longley-Rice models) and of the CHR/Hot AC signals, it shows the following signal strengths: 92.9 WJZQ - 54 dBu 96.3 WKLA - 59 dBu 101.1 WIXX - 51 dBu 102.7 WMOM - 55 dBu In my experience, WJZQ seems to overperform slightly, while WKLA unde...

Re: Old Cable TV Line ups(New thread)

Did WWTV and/or WGTU pre-empt network shows in 1988 (or did WBAY and WZZM air syndicated shows that went uncleared in Traverse City)?

Re: 102.5 serving Hillsdale and Adrian to flip to K-Love or Air1 soon

Started as AC "Mix 102.5" then flipped to Hot AC somewhere along the way. I remember listening to the 2001 American Top 20 (Hot AC) year-end countdown on 102.5 when I lived in Saline that year. Kinda surprised Smile FM didn't snap this up first. IIRC they don't have a signal in that area. I think S...

Re: Old Cable TV Line ups(New thread)

I think I saw that WGTU aired Sesame Street for a couple of years, but WGTU didn't make it to the UP until after WCML came on.

Re: New 7&4 youtube clip

Also the Olive Garden ad long before the TC location opened. The closest location at the time was likely Grand Rapids or Saginaw depending on where in the market you were located

Re: New 7&4 youtube clip

I had no idea Witmark had a location in TC.

Also, at this time Meijer had only one location in 7&4's coverage area (the one on South Division). They now have at least nine locations in 7&4's coverage area.

Re: AM radio stations that are on thin ice

750 WOUF - have they been on the air at all in the past few years? Also no translator
1220 WBCH - had a CP for a translator, let it expire without extension

Re: Who do you want on your party's 2024 Presidential ticket?

For the Republicans, I think Ron DeSantis should be at the top of the ticket. He won Florida by nearly 20 points this week (including winning Miami-Dade County) and doesn't turn off as many people as Trump. Some possible VP candidates include Rand Paul, Nikki Haley, Larry Hogan (managing to win elec...

Re: Jack Needs A Job

I think redistricting hurt O'Malley a lot. He lost most of his strong areas to the new 102nd (VanderWall, who was gerrymandered out of the State Senate and dropped back down to the House) and 104th (Roth) districts while adding most of Traverse City proper (which has always had a progressive lean co...
