An update:

AM: still CBW 990 Winnipeg, MB
FM Tropo: still KEZO 92.3 Omaha, NE
FM E-Skip: KRYS-FM 99.1 Corpus Christi, TX
TV (tropo only): KMEG 32 (PSIP 14) Sioux City, IA

All of these were received in my TC home except for KMEG which I picked up over in Benzie County.

Just turned on my radio to find 94.3 playing classical music... looks like they’ve made the transition to public radio.

If anyone’s got some cool vintage local TV stuff they found or would like to show off, post it here! I just found this composite ad break from TV 29&8 from 1985 - although you might want to skim through a fair bit of the video to find the local stuff: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ambEM2unLFI I also...

As far as I know, 101.9 was known as "Sunny Country 101.9" rather than simply "Sunny 101.9", which was what they went by in their AC days. And I believe around 2012, 98.1/107.1 and 94.5/93.9 were their own simulcasts when it came to The Bear. Don't really know if 94.5 simulcasted 93.9 or the other w...

The footage says 1994, so I'm going to say most likely. How long did Federal own the station?

After doing a quick search of some old issues of Broadcasting Magazine, Federal picked up the stations from Beam around 1991 and sold them to Raycom in 1997.

Found this a while back, forgot to post about it here. Pretty interesting find. I can’t wait to see what else the uploader has in store. As for the question on the night newscasts, I can only assume most people wouldn’t just get up early and immediately fire up their VCRs to record the morning news,...

I thought they only did 60's on weekends? The only changes I've noticed to the regular playlist are the addition of 80's songs.

I posted this video on my new YouTube channel a while back, this is pretty much commercials and DJs talking from KHQ and KPK around December of ‘89: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMOhWOygtIQ

Let’s see what I managed to get up north... 92.1 WCSR 92.3 WCOL 92.5 WDJQ 93.1 WBTU 93.9 WBKS 94.7 WSNY (hardly listenable but I could hear it through W234BU) 97.9 WNCI 98.3 WPKO 98.7 WYKL 98.9 WBYR 100.5 WBGI 101.5 WIBA 101.9 WTMX 102.1 WDOK 102.7 WCPZ 103.3 WGLX 104.3 WOGI (first PA station!) 104....

According to the Baraga website, they just switched to Relevant Radio on October 15, so they’ve already made the switch.

Jeez, so many personnel changes it’s making my head spin... I thought Smitty had retired for good at this point!!!

But to be fair, I can see Smitty sticking around in the morning show slot for quite a while.

Busted...

Here's what I was able to log here in Traverse City on the same opening... 92.3 WZRH - Laplace, Louisiana - 1,058.62 mi 92.5 KZPS - Dallas, Texas - 1,033.82 mi 93.1 KQID - Alexandria, Louisiana - 971.21 mi 93.3 WQUE - New Orleans, Louisiana - 1,051.78 mi 93.5 KLXK - Breckenridge, Texas - 1,087.28 mi...

Finally, skip season's here! Too bad I missed out on the opening yesterday...
