Many years ago there was a book called "Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks" written by a guy who spent the summer of 1985 visiting every MLB ballpark in the country, driving to all of them. He wrote about listening to Bruce Williams' show for much of his time driving at night. Anyway, this station looks a...

Ron was crucified. Sucks.

..to go along with the 4 pm news they added last year, in addition to the 430-7 am, noon, 5, 530 and 6 pm news, along with "The Nine" which is a talk show hosted by local news people. Appreciate their commitment to local programming when the rest of Toledo media is dying, but is there really enough ...

Over the past few days I've been noticing WMTR on 96.1 semi-local here in the southwest Toledo metro, getting overpowered by WQLK from New Richmond, IN in the car at times

Sometimes down here in northwest Ohio, WMTR which airs the Tigers accidentally winds up airing the gambling talk (VSIN?) that 97.1 airs when the Tigers go into rain delay and they don't switch back to their local programming. I might expect that from a station in Archbold, OH. But one in Detroit? wo...

On a Chicago sports forum I frequent, somebody living in St. Joseph was complaining about the signal being weak when trying to listen to a Bears preseason game, so it does appear the signal is weaker to the east now. 1160 is also a strange signal-you can hear it in Detroit at night but in the south ...

I mean, unless money is truly all that matters, Toledo is a miserable place to live let alone spend your twilight years. Are people's only other choices to go Flint or Youngstown or Huntington?

I'd forgotten WMVP has the Bears and White Sox now. Of course, their signal was notorious for like, literally being stronger in Pittsburgh and Buffalo than Aurora because it was so heavily nulled to the west to protect the station in Seattle on 1000. When the White Sox were last on WMVP in the early...

speaking of Rebecca Regnier, looks like she's coming back to 13 as co-host of the morning talk show "The Nine" next month

Yeah I'm pretty sure I've heard it on IOT, at least before I removed IOT from my car's presets 4-5 years ago. And I know 101.5 the River and WRQN play it as well. Knowing Toledo radio, there's a chance 3 stations have played it at the same time at one point lol

Even from the high-rise dorm I mentioned earlier, where I had a north-facing room, 2 would come in occasionally. I am not sure about 4, 7 or 9. I didn't try for them all that often given that we got all four on cable, plus WKBD. This was off an older tube TV with one of those circular antennas. 50 ...

also, 96.1 from Archbold's call letters are WMTR.

I'm not all that surprised no Chicago stations show up in Shipshewana, except possibly during tropo. I've lived in Toledo with family in Chicagoland since 2005 and, making that drive plenty of times down the Indiana Toll Road, Chicago FM stations are usually pretty much unlistenably fading out aroun...

It's interesting that the Yankees are such a storied franchise in all of pro sports and have some of the worst announcers on both fronts. The Mets have much better announcers on both radio and TV. Yeah, most of the big market teams (Mets, Dodgers, both Chicago teams, Giants) have very good announce...

I don't see why a big national name wouldn't want to be the TIgers broadcaster. You get to live in one of the coldest parts of the country, announce a bad, boring team and always be negatively compared to Harwell, Kaline and Kell! What's not to love?? There are worse broadcasters than the Tigers' cu...
