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

Crap, when I saw the title I thought 107.5 FM FINALLY dropped those 80's songs. They're "The 70's Station", don't you know?

I was getting some okay tropo up north last night and early this morning. Just the usual Wisconsin lakeshore, Grand Rapids and NE Michigan stuff. Nothing too special.

The only solution is to make Stopnswop programming director, obviously.

I've always pondered the idea of bringing back the old WJML as an online radio station. Complete with 70's music, old jingles and classic Northern Michigan commercials, and maybe even some old Bob & Tom bits (given they started off at the station). I've seen a lot of online stations dedicated to old...

I can't believe I glossed over this. A couple of months ago, YouTuber Adam Schrohstein uploaded 1 partial and 4 full WBKB newscasts (commercials included) ranging from 1994-2008. Not much has been talked about the station around here, and for years we had very little older footage of the station. No...

That Genesis song is a damn good one; completely agree with you on that.

I second that. While I'm more into the progressive rock side of Genesis, Follow You Follow Me is still a great ballad by the band. There's something to enjoy from all of their eras, IMO.

Ugh I hate queen and Journey! blech...

I'd like to hear YES, like Your's is no disgrace, I've seen all good people, Starship trooper, and Roundabout. Maybe King Crimson(I know I know) once in awhile. Full length songs! Not edits!

someone's speaking my language here...

A lot of Hall and Oates music, really.

So what's the story with the call letters. Are they still WDTW FM? Also who has the WLLZ calls now?

They were held by an LPTV station up here in TC until about a year ago, I think. So indeed they are available.

Okay, so I'm not from around here, but I've been reading up on this thread anyway. So with all these songs from the original playlist coming back to the station, is the Breeze no longer "ruined?" Or is it still muddled with some of those R&B tracks that bogged the station down in the first place?

"Don't Stop Believing" is the big one for sure, but all of the Journey hits have grown tired on this guy. They are one of the very, very few (non-modern, of course) artists I simply cannot stand.

TVC_DX5678

The last 6 posts have been by the same guy... but what does it matter, people like this station, and that's a good thing.

Surprisingly, the translator comes in to my Long Lake home just fine, as well WLJN's new Cadillac translator on 100.7.
