I've been monitoring the new 101.5 overnights over the past couple of days and have to say I think they're really on to something. My audiophile ears give two thumbs up to the processing they're using, and the playlist is an engaging mix of mostly '80s hits with some older and more modern material thrown in.

Ads are really few and far between on overnights, which concerns the broadcaster in me--hope they're selling more time in other dayparts. They say they are streaming, too.

They are, I listen online throughout the day at work. The thing I like about the playlist (aside from 70s - 2000s) is that not everything is the #1 or #2 hit. So not entirely the same set as everyone else. Example, I heard "I'm 18" by Alice Cooper the other day. I haven't heard that on a classic rock or classic hits station in YEARS

I have heard some ads on my (fairly brief) listens today, from the following businesses:
Dynamic Physical Therapy (ad mentioned Gaylord, but Dynamic has a location in Manistee as well)
Parkdale Auto Sales
West Coast Farm Equipment (Onekama)
