Art Van's Weekend Oldies parties on WOAP

Sorry, just getting 'wistful' about the memory of those highly entertaining and massively enjoyable "Weekend Oldies Parties" that were hosted by the enormously talented and humorous Art Van on Owosso's WOAP-1080! RIP, old Friend. Used to listen to him in Rockford, MI and sometimes drove over to the ...

WLW from Cincinnati still does REALLY well in Florida and Puerto Rico at night.

Re: Who's a stand up gal or guy?

Everyone knows that 'Chili' is a common surname, right?

'Radio' is my own replacement for 'Boris'! Damned screwy parents I had!

I miss the 'Art Van' who used to play oldies on WOAP in Owosso on weekends back in like 2001-2006ish!

Re: WLLA adds another sub Channel...

The WLLA signal certainly HAS gone from 'feeble' to 'butt-kicking! It's now always 'there', solid and strong in Newaygo! 60 air miles.

Others with 5 bar signals up here are WXMI, WZPX, WOTV and WTLJ.

Re: WGVU TV weaker up North since the last repack?

Radio Chili, can you get 9&10 at all? I would imagine in Oceana County (which is in the Grand Rapids DMA in part due to 29&8 being an (historically) awful station [according to TV Factbooks in the 70s and into the 80s, 7&4 and 9&10 were more popular in Oceana County than WOTV or WKZO]), 9&10 was (a...

WGVU TV weaker up North since the last repack?

They were strong in Newaygo County but now they're weak up here! 5 bars has dropped to 2 bars! Anyone know why? Everything else is just as good as they were up here with exception of WWMT & WOOD which have both completely disappeared from my TV sets. Those two have never been very good up here (1-3 ...

Re: Worst-sounding radio stations of all-time.

A more modern horror story might well be the radio station in Rockford, MI on 810. Under the original owner and licensee, Jack LePayne it was the most distorted, low-mod, tinny sounding, low-budget thing ever! And that's speaking only of the audio quality! Programming was worse! It was goofy as Hell...

Re: Loud and Proud, WLAV back to 100%

If you mean Newaygo city, are you listening from up on the hill (south of town) or down low in the valley? Lots of stations struggle near the M-37 / Muskegon River bridge. Closer still to 'LAV's transmitter site! On Hess Lake, 2 miles to the southeast of town. With a 2 foot piece of wire dangling i...

Re: The Strongest Skywaves In The Straits Area Of Northern Michigan

I've never heard anything from Detroit at our place in the Tampa Bay area. On one or two rare occasions, I've heard CFRB. The Chicago stations are strong down there. WJR does well in the Orlando area at night. I hear the Tampa station weakly behind it and I see it's required to go radically South a...

WLAV's signal is not strong in Newaygo. From the old site on Pettis it was very good up there.

Re: The Ultimate P-Whip?

The Dutch research project also suggested that further problems with standing also arise as men engage extra pee-stifling muscles while using public toilets. The reason? The muscles engaged to hold in loud and embarrassing farts are also muscles involved in preventing further urination. LOL!! I'm no...
