I think you're completely misconstruing the nature of the complaints, sirrealone.
It's not that people suddenly feel P-U Country 93.1 is a great station, but rather the fact the local FM dial is becoming increasingly loaded with stations that appeal to fringe audiences.
My thoughts exactly. I wasn't a fan of New Country 93.1, but now a lifelong friend is out of job again, and the Detroit dial loses a decent class B signal to a non-comm broadcaster with limited appeal.
With David Corey's departure, what changes, if any, to WDVD should we expect?
Aren't non-comm religious broadcasters supposed to be within 88-92 MHz, translators excepted? (WMUZ doesn't count since it's commercial.) We already lost 102.7, which I feel snuck in there during waves of translator and HD subchannel rotations.
As if the Detroit dial wasn't bland and depressing enough, we lost another signal that COULD HAVE been something appealing to the market.
Everyone on here is bemoaning losing a full strength FM signal to a "niche" format, as if these stations were currently airing programming to a wide audience. Name one station in the market that isn't a niche station. All of them adhere to a strict format, catered to a specific demographic. How is Family Life Radio programming any worse from a niche perspective than any other station?

Do you honestly believe anything appealing or fresh was ever coming to this frequency?
Does anyone know if FLR vacated their studios/offices on Garfield Rd in Clinton Township?
If they are still there, I guess we know why.
The missteps with WDRQ should have been corrected upon the departure of the Dickey Bros. Cumulus has done a crappy job with all 3 Detroit stations. It's not exactly a secret that 760 and 96.3 are "For Sale" as well.
History repeats itself. In 1988, Family Life Radio bought WDRQ, then on 1030 AM, from tvbobn. It was a tape loop of recent recurrents when it first signed on.
93.1 was WLTI then, and was Soft Adult Contemporary.
