Re: WTCM-FM 103.5, etc.

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...

Re: WTCM-FM 103.5, etc.

I guess if you want to measure things based on PPP, go for it. It seems like you don't know what a cash cow radio is these days. BTW, dollars spent on radio is now less than 1.5% of all ad funds, down from 7% in the 1980's. Radio has never been a winner except for a handful of operators, plus those...

https://www.cnn.com/projects/ppp-business-loans/search?q=broadcasting&state=MI Excellent, thank you for the 3 minutes it took to find this. NMCTurd, I guess I don't have an axe to grind about Midwestern. It seems you do. No, nimrod, my beef is with you. And, oh by the way, your friends over at Midw...

Re: WTCM-FM 103.5, etc.

You really are “stuck” in 1982, TC Talks. You really don’t know about current “facts”, do you? Your continuing biased endorsement, albeit for years, is pure bullshit and rings hollow, especially when you fail to properly vet the “facts” you often stuff into your posts. I discuss and write more about...

Re: WTCM-FM 103.5, etc.

I don't know anyone with employees who didn't do a ppp. Hagerty did, they aren't in dire straights. The family foundation just donated a significant amount to the Urgent fund. Keep in mind: Midwestern Broadcasting and the Biderman family trust are not the same financial organization. Most owners ke...

Re: WTCM-FM 103.5, etc.

This station’s parent , Midwestern Broadcasting and Biederman took out a loan of up to half a million dollars ($500,000.00) from the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) and obviously hoping they do not have to pay it back.
So much for philanthropy.
And the prospect of divestiture at some point.

Re: WSRJ Sold

I wonder if the people inside Northern Michigan Radio realize how quickly their business is dying? All these stations being sold for pennies on the dollar. If the rumor is true and Midwestern sells, it's a good bet half of those jobs will be lost. Midwestern isn't going anywhere, they were the firs...

How about you answer Audiophile's question about your "self-made" hero's sad state of affairs? Did you realize the trail of financial failures that has been left behind him when you did your deep research? You seem to have poor judgement. Better get to bed, work starts early for you. Sad, really. N...

LOL, WCCW am is a loser. Tell me I'm wrong. As for my credentials, I can guarantee that if you work in radio in market 121 you shouldn't be too impressed with yourself. BTW, it's Mrs. Henderson who has the money. Roy squandered his "move in" money. Oh yeah, you said the same thing yesterday.... so ...

Yet Henderson has the millions.
What do you have, TC Talks?
Just a desk with old file papers stuffed in from well, let’s see, 1982?
