I will definitely check out WIDL's stream soon - and look forward to doing so!
DTE Energy paid $752 million in dividends to its shareholders last fiscal year. Remember that the next time they ask the MPSC to approve rate hikes.

Did you ever get your broadcast power issues ironed out? Last time I checked (probably a few weeks ago) your signal seemed perhaps marginally better than it was last year in the Tawas area bust still not as good as when you first moved to your new tower a few years back.

Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here
I've been listening to WIDL this evening and absolutely LOVE the playlist!!!
"Stop" by Jane's Addiction. Mr. Tinkertrain by Ozzy. Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth. Bound for the Floor by Local H. Also heard a deep track from Motley Crue and a pretty popular hit from Van Halen (cannot remember which song; sorry). Heard a very deep from the Black Crowes, too.
I like hearing ads for local mom & pop businesses read by LOCAL personalities. Everything sounded professionally produced and edited.
Consider me impressed. I will be listening to WIDL online much more often from this point forward. This is the type of radio I miss dearly!
WIDL plays a far better variety of "next generation" classic rock than 106.7 FAKE WHEELS.

We are still working on our power issues. The best answer I can say is the difference is the engineer then vs now, but we're moving forward.
Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here
Thanks for the props! We're always working to make things better, that's for sure. The music is a blast, I agree! We love the freedom we are being given for programming.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 8:49 pmI've been listening to WIDL this evening and absolutely LOVE the playlist!!!

Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here
So...here we are. Nearly one year removed from the last post on this topic.
Granted, I haven't been listening to much in the way of music radio the last couple of weeks, where do people stand on this station? Since the last post, we still (in essence) have the same air staff, line up and music selection. One place I will give props is that Neil Peart retrospective back in January. I don't care that it was buried at 9pm on a Sunday night. Over an hour of Rush (most of which is considered deep cuts). One complaint is the Goddamn motherfucking MOTLEY CRUE and other assorted butt rock.
Where are you at on it?

Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here
Easily one of the Top 10 most over-played songs in FM/Satellite Rock/Classic Rock formats history. If I started a Hall Of Fame of most overplayed tunes in Pop/Rock history, "Bohemian Rhapsody" would be a 1st ballot entry...Mr.Transistor wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 9:55 amIf I hear Bohemian Rhapsody one more time on WLLZ , I'm going to kick 'em off my preset

Station sounds half assed. Processing has also gotten bad in recent weeks.
CSX playlist is far superior. Would listen to them more often if it weren't for douchebag in afternoon drive.

Re: 106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here
It blows. Too many overplayed safe songs. Tries to be all things to everybody. Sorry, but I dont want to hear The Doors followed by the one Soundgarden song they play. Its a mess.
Granted, I took them off my preset a few weeks ago but I imagine its still exactly like that. They could own this city with a better playlist and person choosing that list.
