Handel on the Law is terrific. I completely agree.

Unfortunately, he seems to have been taken off the schedule sometime recently, and replaced by Tony Katz. https://www.910amsuperstation.com/schedule

Re: Rob Parker to lease WXYT 1270

The fact Audacy is allowing a direct format competitor to 97.1 on 1270 shows me that Audacy views this project as a complete non-threat. I predict this venture will fail within its first year. Most if not all of the broadcast and written work of Rob Parker is low denominator garbage. I'm surprised ...

Re: RIP 1470

Just to be clear, the private equity owners of Townsquare Media, not the liberals, are responsible for WFNT's demise.

Re: RIP 1470

WWJ 950 is doing a lot more Traffic and Temperature reports and other stories from the Flint Area. Their 5 mV/m City Grade predicted contour reaches Southern Genesee County. The last time we saw Flint market ratings that included WWJ, they were tied with WFNT. You may be on to something. https://ra...

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon

Put sports talk back on 1600/95.5 and move the urban format to 96.5. With numbers that good on a translator, it deserves a full power FM, even if it's just a class A.

Re: RIP 1470

I wonder if anyone will take a stab at the conservative talk format in Flint ever again. WTRX seems like the only possible candidate. If I were WSGW I'd try to get a translator in the Flint area. WFDF has a great signal in the Flint area, perhaps they should focus their marketing towards Genesee Cou...

Re: Big changes in just released June ratings survey; WJR hits all-time record low

WDTK used to subscribe and drew a 0.1 or 0.2. Their flea powered translator may be the reason the numbers were that high. Does the station even have any sort of weekday local show? I haven’t listened in a few years. Hugh Hewitt is as boring as Bill Bennett was. Horrible choice for AM Drive. For wha...

Re: Big changes in just released June ratings survey; WJR hits all-time record low

Chiming in here regarding WJR. Could they be loosing ground to Salem's WDTK? I do hear a lot of "Detroit" callers on the Hugh Hewitt show which they carry live 6 to 9am. Hannity moved to WDTK and perhaps a lot of loyal WJR listeners went with him? I'd be interested to see Salem's numbers for this ma...

Re: Worst Tower Sites For Getting Stuck-Water, Mud, Sand, Snow, Ice, Grade, etc.

Gun Lake Road site of WMMQ/WVFN is the first that comes to mind. Pretty much all AM sites in Michigan seem to be under water this year due to the massive rains.

Re: Longest Tigers Affiliate?

WSGW celebrated 50 years of the tigers back in 2017. Other longtime affiliates that come to mind are WDBC Escanaba, WPHM Port Huron, and WNBY Newberry.

Re: 106.7 Detroit is identical to 105.7 Columbus

In my opinion, a format similar to "The Lake" in Cleveland (could still be branded as Wheelz) would be a great fit for 106.7... although it's not much different from the D.

Re: WIOG is #1 in Saginaw-Bay City; WGER barely defeats Houghton Lake station

I can confirm WGER has a lousy signal on the west side of Midland. Many times I've driven near Saginaw and Eastman and the station will fade out briefly. As you keep heading north-west it drops off like a cliff.
