Re: WOMC hires a Jim Johnson successor!

I would have added someone local like Chuck Edwards, but the addition of Ben Campbell as another local voice is better than no one.

Re: Trouble at CBS News Detroit

I know nothing about the TV news business but why was the decision made to have the Southfield-Lathrup High School AV set brought in after the school closed down to be CBS Detroit's news set? Why won't CBS invest in a real, professional looking set? I know it shouldn't be that big of a deal, but how...

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

Chuck Gadica was on as the guest host this morning on WOMC. I wonder if Gadica will end up getting the job as JJ's full-time replacement. I think he'd be a solid choice for WOMC. I'd be surprised if Exitcom was willing to spend that kind of money though to bring in Gadica as a full-time host.

Re: Nielsen November 2023 radio ratings

Cumeless should have flipped 93.1 to sports instead of selling it. WXYT needs some competition givetn their 9.4 rating. It's too bad both 93.1 and 102.7 were both sold for religious programming.

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

Given how cheap David Field and Exitcom management are, isn't it likely that JoAnne and Jason will be the new morning show and JJ's spot doesn't get replaced at all? David Field seems to have a fetish for syndication too, so is there a syndicated classic hits morning show from one of their Exitcom m...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold

I think PBS still has a number of good shows and original specials. They have great documentaries and historical specials. As well, I enjoy the PBS News Hour over any other the other daily news shows. I watch Frontline, Nature, and Nova as well. There are worse things you could watch and rot your br...

Re: New Nielsen audio numbers - lots of movement!

It's disappointing to see, even with all the voicetracking and out of market talent they have, that WYCD is doing so well. I can't stand Katie & Company on middays and Coop being voicetracked from out of market sucks too. I also don't like their CHR imaging as 99-5 'YCD and the CHR jingles they have...

Re: Matt Shepard Out After Five as Bally Sports Tigers' PBP...

Could the Tigers snag Joe Davis from the Dodgers for play-by-play duties? Davis is a Michigan kid from the Lansing area and I would presume grew up watching the Tigers.

Re: Jason Carr New Morning Host at WOMC

Does Cheap Channel have the willingness to finally bring in a live and local morning show and hire JJ as their new morning show host on WLLZ? ... I'm just conjecturing here. But I think Mr. Johnson has decided to retire. If he still wanted to work in radio, I'm thinking he would of just stayed put....

Re: Jason Carr New Morning Host at WOMC

Does Cheap Channel have the willingness to finally bring in a live and local morning show and hire JJ as their new morning show host on WLLZ? They've never invested in a live morning show at 106.7 going all the way back to The D when it was Alan Cox. Even now with Spencer Graves and whoever it was b...

Re: Jason Carr New Morning Host at WOMC

I know Audacy and CEO David Field hate having live and local radio on their music stations. I wonder if the morning show replacement is just a voicetracked DJ from out of market or something syndicated?

Re: Henson was right! Jim Costa to succeed Stoney in mornings.

Really glad to see Costa work his way up the ladder and get the chance to host a show of his own. I think he'll do just fine in the morning show spot. With that said, The Ticket desperately needs at least two, I think, fill in and weekend hosts not named Brian Chapman. I'd still like to see both Sea...

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

Good for JJ. A 30+ year career in radio anymore is unheard of. He's one of the last great Detroit radio personalities on the air and deserves to retire and go out the right way. 30 years from now we won't be celebrating radio DJs of the past like we are with DJ because there are hardly any live and ...

Another name that should get some love is Matt Dery. I'd prefer Sean Baligian over Dery, but I think Matt Dery would be a good choice too.

Re: Stoney

What about Hammer getting the morning show slot to replace Stoney? I know Jennifer Hammond has her duties on Fox 2 that would probably come before anything on radio. But she'd bring a unique perspective and something the station has always lacked, a women who knows and loves sports. As well, she's g...
