Re: Updated ratings!

Good afternoon! A couple of years ago I had mentioned that the format at KDRB in Des Moines would be an option for West Michigan. I know that since I mentioned this they have taken 106.5 in Kalamazoo to a jack FM format. So, would this still be an option for let’s say 96.1? “ you’re riding the BUS d...

Re: Old soundchecks and TV commercials for West MI radio stations

Metalhead, yes, I was referring to KLQ. Why on earth would you flip formats when you have a 10 share in the market? I mean, would you see KFR in Kalamazoo or B93 flipping?

Re: Old soundchecks and TV commercials for West MI radio stations

KLQ ran a couple of contest during the overnight hours where they would play snippet of a song and you had to call in with the title and artist. They called it the late night quickie.
You could only win every 30 days. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Old soundchecks and TV commercials for West MI radio stations

Remember the commercials well. Remember the station and studios just as well, when it was on Giles about 1/2 mile east of Whitehall Rd. Won plenty of trivia contests with the help of my dad. I lived and breathed KLQ after about 14 years of age which was 1985 and throughout high school which I gradua...

Re: Tropo over lake MI

Sunday morning I was making a trip from Rockford Illinois to Duck Lake area in western Muskegon county. Many of the same captures that you had I also had. 102.9 WHQG was coming in over WYHA into Saugatuck and were fighting until the Adams Street exit on 196. WLAV was nearly similar in fighting with ...

Re: Nielsen #'s for Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Muskegon

Muskegon thoughts. WLCS 98.3, I believe lost a majority of their listeners when Rick Hickman retired and they move on from John during their morning show and replaced him with Bob and Tom. For sure not their audience! It also has not helped since that translator in Allendale moved in on the same fre...

Re: E-skip today

I had similar experience back in 2015 when I lived in Texas. I lived in Midland/Odessa and I was on my way to San Antonio. Between Sonora and Junction on I-10, where you can only pick up two stations on FM, I started “flipping the dial”. I came across 101.9 out of Detroit, and 97.3 out of Rhinelande...

Re: WFUR 102.9 off air

With 102.7 AND 102.9 off the air, I have been getting 102.7 WRVM Suring Wisconsin fairly consistent and 103.1 WGDN Gladwin mixing with WOGB Reedsville Wisconsin. Gladwin being dominant.

Re: WFUR 102.9 off air

97.5 Nash has been on lower power for a few weeks now. It’s a mix of them and KLT to just about Shelby. To the south the signal starts to get staticky just south of the Muskegon County line. By time you drive by the GH football field they are quite staticky and just south of M-45 are all but gone! H...

Re: WFUR 102.9 off air

They went off the air Monday morning the 11th around 6am. I was able to pick up the HOG out of Milwaukee along US-131 just east of Sparta as I was awaiting the fly-over of the A—10 Warthogs on Tuesday. Living in western Muskegon County at Duck Lake WFUR was strong enough that the best I could ever d...
