Toledo's most surprising event!
I just read that WNWO will eliminate their affiliation with NBC after 25 years and become an independent station for the first time in 50 years. As a result, it will now air 22 1/2 hours of test patterns, with the rest of the day filled out with their preexisting out-of-state newscasts.
Where will NBC go? Nexstar just made a deal to purchase WMNT and send the NBC affiliation there, as just approved by the FCC. Nexstar plans to start a newscast from scratch, while failing to improve everything else about WMNT.
APRIL FOOL'S!

Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
I dunno.... ratings for both stations would probably increase if that were to happen

Airing Tennis and golf matches all day would bring higher ratings lol
Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
Changing the subject, when is WUPW going to change their RF frequency and WMNT FIX their damn incorrect station pointers?

Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
I still say that My 48 should be given virtual channel 58, allowing people to press 58, and getting WMNT, not even knowing if they're on antenna or cable.
Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
Hey, I did a rescan, lost CH27 WBGU, but it looks like 36 and 48 and pointing to the right spot on one set.
Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
Surprising? Bill Stewart is fired from WRQN. NOT an April Fools.
Wow! Saved 50-some dollars a week! Fool decision again. He was not the greatest, but it beats a WW1 Sat show. Granted... he was VT'd.

Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
WTF, why fire a very cheap to air voice-tracked program, DONE Locally? Used to be prime listening time for me on WRQN when Jim Brady had that evening time slot - LIVE, and then Buddy Carr had that time slot LIVE and LOCAL. Jim passed, Buddy dumped, BS voice tracking was at least a local product. This is how radio is killing itself- get rid of 80% of your local content- Cumulus morons.
Are you sure it isn't a CV19 issue, or did they really fire BS?
I should have bought WPFX 107.7 and loaded-it-up with all the local talent that has been dumped the past 15 years in Toledo radio. Dammit, radio, you need LOCAL content, and live content. Maybe not- look at the freaking ratings WVKS gets with sh*t from Detroit? iHeartLess and Cumulonimbus idiots.

Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
Bill's profile is still on WRQN'S website. I'm very surprised too. I kind of he was fairly cheaply paid, even more so since he was voicetracked. I know Cumulus is doing temporary layoffs, ranging from a week to 90 days. He wasn't the best either, but he was still better than an out-of-town jock or even having no jock at all. I hope this isn't an outright firing.

Re: Toledo's most surprising event!
I was listening to RQN a few minutes ago, and Jerry Mac was on. He says he's "in for Bill Stewart", so I'm wondering if he's just taking a furlough right now.

Nope. Fired, without cause to be, other than budget.radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 8:15 pm I was listening to RQN a few minutes ago, and Jerry Mac was on. He says he's "in for Bill Stewart", so I'm wondering if he's just taking a furlough right now.
