I've quipped my entire career that there are two businesses whose property holdings typically exceed the value of the rest of the business: General aviation airports, and AM radio stations.

Yawn.......huh.......oh.

Ok.

WWMK is running sort of a 'deep cuts' Christmas music thing....not the usual WNIC-like 22 songs. That said, it's a tune-out for me. I *like* Christmas music from about 2nd week of December on. WWMK ran 24/7 all year long in my barn, just to provide some background when I'm in there....but no more.

The removal of the old pylon and the installation of the new antenna with it's new extension pylon went very well. Perfect weather and perfect execution by Legacy Tower and Helicopter Transport Services. I have a lot of photos and video, but it's just too cumbersome to host them somewhere and post t...

I’m recalling perceiving or reading in other filings or places that the old analog RF4 antenna will come down, with the new Dielectric RF16 one going up in its place. The channel 4 batwing came off the pole a long, long time ago....right after the DTV transition. I have had one of the bays behind m...

I'm amazed by how many stations eventually gave up the 3 letter call sign.....what an incredibly foolish thing to do. Instant unique positioning in most markets with a 3 letter call.

Very interesting discussion, with two distinct and very valid points of view: 1. It's annoying, upsetting, irritating, distracting, and more to be subjected to the foolishness that pervades virtually every thread at some point or another. It's why I left coming up on 2 years ago. There reaches a poi...

Funny story. True, too. I was doing afternoons at WNIC, Late 80’s maybe early 90’s. I do remember we were in the old studio in the northwest corner of the building. Autogram console with actual knobs, so this was a long time ago. I gave away something to the proverbial 10th caller and took the call...

I spoke with his wife, and she is doing okay. She's been comforted by an outpouring of support, and commented that he lived life to the fullest. That will be on his headstone.

RIP....he was a good guy, and always interested in helping out a friend.

Very rare late nights....in a typical year, there there may be 1 unplanned visit after hours. Sometimes it's just easier to go to a complete cold shutdown, but that is often at the decision of the engineers. The equipment is exceptionally stable, and there are 2 discrete transmitters and antennas. A...

A contract engineer is needed for two SE Michigan area stations. This opening would be perfect for an retired broadcast engineer looking to keep his finger in the business. It's by no means a full time position, and probably would not be a good fit for someone who is already conventionally employed....

I've noticed elsewhere, Massachusetts for example, that asphalt surfaced roads have a regular program of refurbishment every few years. Perhaps a benefit of a state sometimes referred to as Taxachussets? Everyone has pet places "The State" could be spending our money. A common denominator is roads....

I'm certainly no expert in any regard in paving technology, but I do recall reading that the Mackinac Bridge roadway surface, a number of years ago, was a focus of an ongoing study by asphalt industry technical groups. Lots of visits and samples were taken; apparently, it lasted WAY, WAY longer than...

Hi

The search function also appears to be broken.....I was looking for a post and threw everything at it, and finally even searched for the term "lift" which should show up all over the place....it responds not found to any search.

Can you substantiate how many casino customers fit that demographic? I have never been in a Detroit Casino so I have no clue. He raises an interesting point....in the strict sense of business, it's acceptable to make money at any legal endeavor, and certainly such casino gambling in Michigan is as ...
