There are three towers on that site now, originally was a 300 ft , then they went to a 500 ft right next to it and then a shorter one for a UHF LPTV antenna., It's on the west side of Detroit near Evergreen and Jefferies freeway. I rarely see any reference to this site, "Radio Place," just off Capi...

During the latter years under ownership of the Detroit News, the the grim and dour Don DeGroot was the "face" of the station, delivering editorials that echoed the conservative line of its companion newspaper. Providing a similar point of view was commentary by the hawkish retired Brig. General S.L....

The best years of W4 106.7 were, when Gordon Mc Lendon owned the station. Before McLendon and WWWW, 106.7 was WDTM, into the late 1960s. WDTM offered an eclectic programming mix, with classical, jazz, spoken word and anything else they could find a host for. Each of its shows were kind of "free for...

When I was a kid, my dad introduced me to shortwave listening, via a 2 band GE table-top radio. He also had a Granco FM radio, one of the few available at the time, because he knew the "Good Music" he liked was on WLDM and WWJ-FM, plus, "no static at all." I had discovered that WXYZ-FM simulcast 127...

The few times I've listened to 98.7, I at least didn't hear Imagine Dragons' "Thunder," which on Fault 106.7 seemed to be in a 4x/hour rotation. However, could not avoid Portugal.The Man's "Feel It Still," another 106.7 staple. SXM's alt offerings are far more varied.

Android is Linux based as well. macOS and Darwin kernel is not at all a form of Linux, precedes it by a few years. It is derived from BSD Unix and the Mach kernel, on which Jobs based his NeXTSTEP OS, which th...

At the Monday (2/22) press conference with the JPL Mars Perseverance team, the Imaging leader said that a Linux-based computer is being used on the rover, and the image encodes/decodes are done with FFMPEG. First time that open source OS and imaging software have been used for a NASA planetary missi...

I think that this wind turbine freeze and rolling blackouts in Texas are just the beginning of the disasters the Left will create... Do you actually understand what you've said here (parroting the brainiacs on Fox)?? This disaster occurred and was enabled by policies enacted under the owned-by-the-...

Slightly off-topic - a WWJ blooper:
There was a report today concerning someone accused in a firebombing case.
The newsreader (Brooke Allen maybe), called the device a "Mazel-Tov" cocktail.
Oy vey!

Ed Golick (detroitkidshow.com) is reporting on his Facebook page that Art Cervi, who played Bozo the Clown on CKLW and WJBK has passed away.

"Metro Detroit and downriver" Wow Local 4! I never knew that the name of my beloved downriver region should be lowercase, and here I thought it was a proper noun! Thanks for the grammar lesson! There’s no civic entity or compass point named "Downriver," so, even though it’s a quite foreign zone to ...

I actually heard a story about this on WWJ on Saturday afternoon.
