Re: R.I.P. Jim Higgs
Listened as a kid to Jim H. on 'KMI growing up in Kalamazoo.... with the likes of Bill Anthony, Bill Martin.. even Dave Thompson..... a station that always sounded bigger than its rather humble building on 1360 Melody Lane........

Morning sports Grand Rapids local radio show WJRW
The weekday 10a-12noon sports-talk show on WJRW-AM 1340/106.1 has been absent for the last several weeks. Hosted by Brian Fongers and Travis Gibbs (the latter part of the LAV-FM morning show), the time slot is now regularly filled by the CBS Radio network's Bill Reiter "Reiter Than You." All of this...

Re: Whitecaps baseball back on the airwaves
So, two questions remain: why the move back to terrestrial radio, and any other stations carrying the games? (leading into commercial breaks between innings, the announcers still refer to it as the "Whitecaps Baseball Network").

Whitecaps baseball back on the airwaves
The minor league baseball West Michigan Whitecaps squad is back on WJRW-AM 1340 (Grand Rapids) once again. After a year (or two?) offering online only play-by-play, announcer Dan Hasty is back on the terrestrial airwaves. It seemed to happen suddenly - I didn't hear a big ramp-up of promotion for th...

Re: Catholic Radio in West Michigan
Agreed, ChrisWL1980, but there aren't many resources for a local station to take on a bunch of air staff to do locally produced programming (just like most mainstream stations). And I'm not sure what network sources exist for that type of air-fare. (I'll have to check out Spirit 90.5 in Tampa). I wi...

Catholic Radio in West Michigan
In March I dropped in for a visit to WVHF-AM (1140) in Grand Rapids. It's called Holy Family Radio – Catholic radio for West Michigan . The station was wrapping up its spring on-air pledge drive in its newly-located studios – the second floor of the Sun Title building on Plainfield Ave NE in GR's Cr...

TV 8 weather/traffic
It still feels awkward to see the late afternoon Storm Team TV 8 meteorologists having to tag their weather reports by also doing the traffic. (at least I think they stop the traffic updates at 5:20pm).....

Re: January 2024 ratings
any results from AM910 The Superstation yet? Are they programming sports or some other flavor of the month?
