Re: 104.5 SNX satellite

IMHO not dead, just ICU. Give me a transmitter that covers Kent and Ottawa Counties and in a year I'll produce a #1 radio station and a BIG bucket of money for everyone on staff.

Re: Fox 17 Changes

What shame another broadcaster is out of the business, but who could blame her. Working for government entity with real benefits, a pension, and regular normal person hours? That is a died and gone to heaven job. I worked for a year at WWSB TV in Florida. I was an audio board op. (and a lousy one at...

WOOD AM is not the only news talk sliding.

I was curious about Wood Radios summer long slide in numbers. Dayton is the next largest market to see August Trends, WHIO has gone from first place last spring with a 9.6 in May, June 8.3, July 7.9 and August 7.3. Like WOOD, it runs the typical AM conservative shows. In Albany (market 66) WGY shows...

August Numbers

My forecast in the "prognostications" thread have come true. In the August trend WOOD AM took a pretty good hit, especially in this election year. Wood numbers over the summer look like this. May 8.3 June 8.1 July 7.6 August 6.7. B-93 was up from an 8.4 to an 8.8 Thunder was not worth mentioning, FG...

Prognostications

We are about to see ratings for the month of August. Over the summer WOOD AM has gone from an 8.3 to a 8.1 to a 7.6 in July. According to poll numbers, Michigan is leaning blue for the November vote.

With apologies, The best Radio Tradio I ever heard was in the UP. A woman selling something exclaimed, "and I don't want anyone trying to Jew me down" I nearly drove off 2.

Re: B-93 Birthday Bash Postponed/Canceled. Again

Mo Bandy, Box Car Willie, Jane (Janie) Fricke, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, Ray Price, imho are all ancient history. DAC had one song. Just the name alone suggests suggests Jethro FM isn't to be taken seriously. Formatically it's a shotgun blast. Ratings? zero point zero. A well run pirate might make m...

Re: B-93 Birthday Bash Postponed/Canceled. Again

In writing this response, I was a little surprised to learn there are now two accepted Classic Country Formats. There is Pre mid 80's, and there is mid 80's to about 2000. In my humble opinion, there will never again be a successful 80's and earlier Classic Country station in any kind of a large, me...

B-93 Birthday Bash Postponed/Canceled. Again

B-93 says: The health and welfare of our visitors, vendors and staff is our priority. The Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting mandates of the State of Michigan made this difficult decision necessary, but WBCT-FM – B.93.7 has postponed the date for Birthday Bash which was to be held on August 29, 202...
