I have waited a week for my post from a week ago Sunday to sink in. Beyonce is still number one on the Billboard country chart, which completely discounts country radio AIRPLAY. MY original point. On the I Heart Media Chart Beyonce remains a no show. A response to my original post alleged it was a f...

Respectfully incorrect. It has next to zero airplay. The song achieves it's status with downloads and other factors that doesn't include country airplay.

I am amused by Network News talking heads who keep gushing over Beyonce's Country Album. I haven't heard any of it save clips from Texas Hold Em and Jolene. But Jolene was a number one hit 50 years ago. That was 3 or 4 eras ago in the format. The talking heads talk about Beyonce's #1 country hit. As...

30-ish years ago Terri and I spent an afternoon playing golf. She sought advice, wondering if moving from 3 to 8 would be wise, I counseled a move north, in retrospect, making me appear far wiser than I am. She is one of the kind ones, loving AM drive and never coveting Chief.

According to a February 2022 Gallup poll, "WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The percentage of U.S. adults who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something other than heterosexual has increased to a new high of 7.1%. Michigan totals between 3 and 3.9 % who identify as LGBTQ. A different surve...

He is happily retired living on a quiet lake, I imagine he has re launched his pontoon boat (a cooler with a steering wheel) by now.

I have been listening to my esteemed former colleagues for a week or so. The show is "billed" as 5 to 10. In truth it doesn't really start till 6. Morning drive is well underway by them. Aly Mac fills the news role with "3 Things you should know". They really aren't. Matt follows up with some thing ...

I did not retire, Tim Feagan told me the company decided to go in a different direction. Then rode with me on the elevator to the ground floor. I did get a very generous severance package. But Aly, a sweet person, hasn't any real news experience. It is funny, when we put the station on the air, I on...

Radio station web sites did a perfectly miserable job. WOOD AM and FM did get a story posted for about two hours after the fact, but it appeared to be an I Heart canned story. To my knowledge no other station posted a thing.
