Speaking of oldies outfits adding 80's music... My local WCCW (107.5 FM) has been adding 80's music for quite a while to their 70's-dominated playlist. They're called "The 70's Station" for cripes sake! Early 80's cuts I don't mind, but that drum machine/synth-slathered mush has got to go, it's like...

Today, I heard ads from a car dealer in West Branch and a restaurant in Grayling on 101.9. The two cities aren't even in WLDR's local coverage!

My guess is that they're doing this because Blarney Stone is based out of Grayling, but what do I know? It still doesn't make sense!

Why is there 8...count them...8 threads on this station when it's nothing more than a format change???

Because it's that rare moment when people are appreciative of something on here. Before this, most of the Detroit threads were complaints about other stations (among other things).

I swear, the 98.7 threads are everywhere. But it's better than having all those threads complaining about 106.7 or some other station.

My final list of new logs from last night: 88.1 WLGH Leroy Township, MI 90.3 WCPN Cleveland, OH (over common tropo station WBLV) 93.5 CBCL London, ON (over semilocal WBCM) 94.7 WCSX Birmingham, MI (over local translator) 95.1 CKUE Chatham-Kent, ON (over local translator and WFBE) 98.5 WNWN Coldwater...

Okay, so in Traverse City, the tropo is for real.

Here's the stations so far that I've newly logged:

* 88.1 WLGH
* 90.3 WCPN
* 94.7 WCSX
* 98.5 WNWN
* 104.7 WIOT
* 104.9 WBXX
* 105.9 WDMK
* 106.7 WDTW (relog under new format)

I'm not getting anything special where I live, just the usual common tropo from the Tri-Cities, GR and Lansing, plus a couple of Detroiters (including the new Breeze)

Where is 99.3 broadcasting from (I'm guessing somewhere in/near Traverse City)? I got a 99.3 playing Van Hagar's Right Now last night coming home from a basketball game. That song is not something WOWN in Shawano would play. How much are 99.3 and 100.3 delayed? I tried checking 100.3, but it was al...

This could be a recreation of a lost thread, but call it what you will. Let's talk about the latest news about Blarney Stone and their new stations. As of right now: - 99.3 (finally with better sound quality) and 100.3 (with a weaker signal) are simulcasting (with a h*** delay, though). - 92.3 brief...

Cool find indeed. I myself have yet to find any EBS/EAS tests from my local stations, but I have a severe storm warning bug on a tape from 2005, if that matters much.

Maybe Russia isn't the only problem... some Kuwaitis seemed to hack us last night.

Hands down, unanimous verdict, 9 out of 10 Dentists agree, Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You"...all time worst song EVER for Xmas...this debate is over, I win...carry on....

I second that.

Rap, Country, Punk, Metal, Alternative, Grunge, EDM... a lot of them.

For some unknown reason, AC and 1970's formats have totally ignored Olivia Newton-John. She had thirteen top five songs in the US, and was heard on the radio almost daily for years, but today she has no airplay. Well, I do hear "Have You Never Been Mellow" and "You're The One That I Want" up north ...

How about this lost (and smooth) gem:
