Re: Demotions at Fox47

The moment they brought her in was the beginning of the end for the FOX47 experiment. The moment they started the newscast was the beginning of the end. You act like there was a moment in time when it wasn't a complete shit newscast featuring flunkies from MSU who got passed over by other stations.

Re: WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens

I've only seen WLAV as low as a 2.7 share one other time, if I remember correctly. The other time was maybe a decade ago when John Dickey decided the station should run a super tight playlist reminiscent of WLUP in Chicago at the time. I suspect Tony Gates' longtime listeners are not warming up to ...

Re: Mary L. Trump, also a grifter

Does she hate him, or is the whole thing a more white trash version of professional wrestling? Based on her Wikipedia article, assuming it's fairly accurate, Donald and siblings royally screwed her and her immediate family over following the death of her dad Fred Jr and especially when Fred Sr croa...

Re: Democrats take back control of the house

there should never be ties, either add a 111th member, or have the Lt. Governor break ties like they can in the state senate. Therein lies the issue with this legal gerrymandering law. It focuses more on being fair to the political parties at the expense of actually representing the citizens in the...

Re: News Nation is a Joke

If I need to explain it to you, you might be working too hard to justify why the skit might tarnish NewsNation’s “sterling” image Yes, no doubt everyone who watched that skit had the reaction "Oh man they really burned NewsNation!" What exactly was the burn? That the NewsNation anchor didn't know w...

Re: NPR Senior Editor Blasts Lack of ‘Viewpoint Diversity’ After Leftward Lurch: ‘Open-Minded Spirit No Longer Exists’

I completely agree with this article. I used to be one of the 26% and while I found they skewed left, I thought they made an attempt to just present the facts with as little bias as possible. I noticed them getting increasingly liberal beginning in the run up to the 2016 election. I went from a fre...

Does anyone really believe that WLAV will ever make the top five once again
and with a 5% share or better?
As long as they keep playing the exact same playlist they've had for the last 30 years featuring the same lame overplayed butt rock - no, they will continue to drop into irrelevancy.

Re: Catholic Radio in West Michigan
