They often are on a 10 kW backup transmitter. Did Disney ever sell the old WFDF transmitter site off Bristol Rd? Like so many other properties in the Flint area, the place looks like nature is taking over. As I recall, that site is considered to be in Grand Blanc, not Burton, but correct me if I'm ...

Nope. Roberta used to do it for Comcast and for Gun Lake Casino. Jackie voices spots for a client or two. I've even heard Brooke Allen voice a spot. Jason Scott did sports betting ad reads when he was at WWJ. Jason Scott was good. I think he got the hell outta there just in time. I wonder what line...

I have said this here before. The frontline weekday anchors (am and pm) are all veteran award winning anchors with years of major market experience. They are reading new copy, often put in by the minute, and often written by very young green writers. They are reading cold, while also running the bo...

That's embarrassing. In fact, the southern border of Troy is just six miles north of Eight Mile Rd. Maybe a large road map of SE Michigan should be hung on the wall there. :rollin This is the sort of thing that makes me wonder if any of these people ever bother to get out and about around here. My ...

Looks like banning Mr. Positive has had negative effects on WJR's ratings.

Out of curiosity, why was he banned? I must have missed that.

This requires an explanation? Seriously?

Yawn. Guy Gordon moves to mornings. Paul W. to Noon to 2PM. Renwick gets a show from 2 to 4. Albom moves up an hour. A new sports show with Baligian will air at 6PM (why only one hour??). The crappy 9a to Noon show remains in place. I might check out Guy Gordon and I'll definitely give Sean's show ...

WWJ once referred to Grand Blanc as a suburb of Detroit when talking about the Buick Open golf tournament. Also heard Tony Ortiz mention
Ubly as "oooo--bleee" while mentioning the MHSAA football finals last fall. Go Bearcats!

Yep. I heard OOOoobly too

Forgot about that one.

It's back on. Hooray. Even with that, WLEC Sandusky, OH is booming in. Must be atmosphere. At least WMKM has some paid programs that are entertaining. My favorite, as I probably mentioned here before, is the Italian guy from Dearborn Heights (of all places) who offers to come to your home and sing ...

Per WWJ:

Frankenmuth is "up north"

Lansing is in "west Michigan"

We went from a handyman show that would assist listeners when they took on a project to "hire it done". Pay someone else to do it. That shows where everything has gone. Glenn Haege was one of those personalities who could not be replaced. The programming moves at WJR seem to be poorly executed, wit...

But...but...what about when JAMES COX called Warren Harding a Gongoozler??? Huh???? HUH!?!?!? WHAT ABOUT THAT!?!?!?!?

I certainly hope they didn't knock over the buffet tables. The Doherty Hotel restaurant puts on quite a spread.

Maybe it's already happened?

My double agents tell me the Bob & Tom Show is supposed to be returning to "The Bear"

Jazz 106 used to get higher ratings than Classical 105. In 1996 many listeners switched over to V 98.7 and that was the last year for Jazz 106. Most jazz efficianados would find that comparison offensive :lol Pat Frisco, the jazz guy at WHFR certainly would. As for WMKM, the day and night DA's are ...

97.7's audio processing sounded awful the last time I drove up that way. Super muddy and loud. I wonder if that has been fixed? As hard as it is to believe, the FM was originally built to serve Beaverton. Studios were in a single wide trailer at the base of the tower. Calls were WGEO. 1979-80 was a...

Studios are where WJZZ used to be, on the boulevard. Haven't been by there in awhile. Bell Broadcasting's WCHB, which occupied 1440 for many years, originated from there as well. It vied for the R&B audience with WJLB, which then was on 1400. WJZZ had formerly been WCHD. Yes, I am old enough to rem...
