Tim Moore dreamed up the market parameters as a way to get under market 200 and get access to national ad buys back on the day. I believe Greenville "Triad" market is the only geographically larger. So what you're saying is that Tim must have found a bigger word in his thesaurus to justify and matc...

At least Grays Harbor County bore Nirvana. :blink Grays Harbor County bored Nirvana to DEATH. Kurt had to get out of that going nowhere place as soon as he could afford bus fare. Awful area. Grey skies, grey buildings, grey people. Even the meth is grey. Northern Michigan winters are awful, but unl...

if you can believe what's left of the newest public Nielsens, WUPS is doing great in TC. Are we reading the same numbers? 1.5 share shows that they are NOT doing great. In fact, this very censored report shows that over 80% of actual radio listening is not listed - which means it's not subscribed. ...

Will Eastlan make a play for here? How much do they cost? I don't know what the Eastlan costs would be. But Eastlan is only viable if the market is split in two; otherwise you end up with the same issue you have now with Nielsen. The 11-county metro has long been too big, requiring most to have sim...

When nobody else pays for the ratings, you get to have the top positions all to yourself. I have a sinking feeling that TC/Peto/Caddy Nielsens will soon go the way of these other markets they've recently dropped from their regular surveys: Battle Creek, Michigan, Bend, Oregon, Billings, Montana, Gr...

I know of no other local station that is live on the weekend. Does WUPS still have Joe Charlevoix weather breaks?

I believe Joe Charlevoix is doing weather breaks for Eagle 101.5 in Gaylord and Manistee for the past year, after Black Diamond made some budget cuts.

Yes, many months ago. Actually, Roy Henderson "evicted" them from 99.3 (supposedly). WQAN has a long history of extended episodes of operating at reduced power or being off the air entirely. I don't believe any of Roy's stations are presently on the air. Not really a good move during a license rene...

A few songs that caught my attention today: Course of Nature - Caught in the Sun Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams Slipknot - The Devil in I Volbeat - The Devil's Bleeding Crown They even played some really old 60s tunes. And the usual smattering of 80s/90 requests that rarely see airplay these days. A...

Based on personal experience, somebody would have to explain the concept of ethics to way too many station management types to even have this conversation. Post of the year. Radio has been a fiercely competitive business since the 1980's. it would be better for all parties involved to work together...

Country? Can't wait to see the next attempt fail. These inbreed rusty truck meth cookin Trump voting Rollin Coal idiots love them some TCM. I am sticking that 106.7 is going BOB FM. What would the Bob format get you? Bob shares a chunk of its core playlist with 97.5/93.5 KLT, 98.1/95.3 The Bear, 98...

I'm working on a sustainable facility plan right now...

I'll let you know when I figure out if there are no obstacles. I won't tell you what it is for free though.

You sound like a mad scientist with a plan. Or... a real estate agent with oceanfront property in Arizona.

He obviously needs to keep them on the air this time around, as this is a license renewal year for all Michigan stations and the window for notifications opens in matter of weeks. Perhaps because of the legal present entanglement with Blarney Stone, he may get a pass on WLDR, but the other two have ...

That $150,000 number certainly isn't aging well given the price WSRT received. This is looking more & more like a sub-$100k situation. Well, I happen to know someone who spoke with the current broker who rebuffed an offer of $75k, suggesting they would never entertain anything below $150k. At least...

Pretty obvious she was gonna make a play for 106.7 when she relinquished her majority stake in WKAD. Hope she does something good with 106.7! I'm surprised 106.7 went for less than half the price of 98.9. Not surprised by that price tag at all! Once the hand was tipped, everyone saw what was there ...

Montmorency Median Household Income $38,293.00 Grand Traverse Median household income $61,485.00 Emmet Median household income $54,055.00 And much of that household income in Montmorency County is generating via commuting for work in other counties. Aside from Lewiston, there's not much retail or i...
