I’m convinced “Greg Buben” is a chatbot. Very limited information that never changes, repeated over and over in numerous threads. On the off chance you are a real person, Greg…the reason you don’t usually get replies is because we’ve heard this same opinion/info from you AT LEAST 25 times. Come up wi ...

Anybody wanna tell Reese how the internet works? This ain’t Twitter dood. Stop with the “live reports” on a message board.

Didn't the government do away with non-compete clauses recently? Non-competes are basically already done since it’s essentially pointless to fight them in court at this stage. That said, they officially become unenforceable on September 4. The exception is executives who make $151k +. The Non-c ...

Quality of air talent, on-air product, etc is a relatively minor concern in radio these days. Ownership ultimately only cares about profitability. Jocks no longer need to be “good” necessarily. Are they bringing in enough endorsement money to validate their salary? If they are they get to keep their ...

This thread is starting to give off a real “old retired dudes chatting at their weekly Tuesday morning donut shop meeting” vibe.

On a more positive note, Jason Benetti is absolutely phenomenal. Only two games in and I’d dare say he’s the best TV lead the Tigers have ever had.

Is anyone surprised this email was written by a guy named Brad?

Happy to be out of the TV News biz.

I do think that could be a possibility and it they were to simulcast with WMRR-FM 101.7 in Muskegon they could save money for the company, they wouldn't have to start over with a new staff, and would sound so much better than WLAV. How does that save money?? Both of those stations already run on ...

Not to beat a very dead horse but this is just one more reminder of the extent that the radio industry is struggling financially. A little money is all it takes for management to be willing to sacrifice the brand. I’d assume they get more money for the airtime than they’d be able to make selling ads ...

I think the point Trophyhead was making is that the same songs shouldn’t be played at 7:30a and 5:30p (for example) because in theory the same audience is listening on their way to and from work. Although with work from home and more work schedule flexibility, etc these days I’m not sure that rule st ...

Love Benetti! Easily one of the 2 or 3 best in baseball. He makes watching games enjoyable even when the game itself isn’t a good one.

Would love to see him teamed up with Cam Maybin.

Umm…62. Thank you very much.
