Re: Devin Scillian

I will miss Devin. Love his newscasts, even though I'm on the fringe of WDIV's viewing area, Sylvania Ohio/southern Monroe county Michigan. Hoping the new guy is half as good as Devin to get me to tune away from Toledo stations to Detroit's local 4. Hard to believe this will be Devin's final ...

A streaming TV service from Google.
I currently use it. It's not the best, but for the money it's decent, but no Tigers or Red Wings.

Re: Mike Kakuk getting new partner on CKLW's morning show

I've been listening to this show for about six years, and it's far more entertaining than anything on our(U.S.) morning radio.

When he was signing off on his last WJR show, he said he had become a Minister and had taken a job at a church. The youtube/podcast was more like a second job.

Re: WJR Stream

Please get some additional filler PSA’s on the listen live. You are beating deposit returns to death. It often runs twice within the same break and on most breaks. Recycling is important but this is redundant. We miss Tom Jordan! Who is this “we” of whom you speak?? No one misses that tRump HAWK TUA ...

Re: Drew & Mike Podcast Complaint Thread

I think once Drew hangs it up, it's over. No one can really take his place. Remember when he was out with back surgery back in the early 2000s? Whoever they had filling in was nothing more than a body running the board. They would have been better off just running best-of's. Yaldo must pay a ...

Re: Anybody remember the 4 o'clock movies on channel 7

I remember the "Monster Week" showings of Godzilla and the various movies featuring the overgrown radioactive lizard.... I don't know if anyone remembers when the Detroit Free Press published their own tv guide (called the TV Book), but I got it one Sunday and "baby godzilla" was on the cover with ...

Re: The Nine

I was watching the 4:00 am news this morning, and Kelly Rowe started doing the weather. I had no idea, so I started googling and couldn't find anything about her being a weather person. I listened closer the next time she did it, and she started by saying, "if you want to know the weather this ...

Re: Thoughts on the Current State and Potential Future of Detroit Radio

47 million OLD people And you will always be a young person? You will be old someday, so just actually what is your point? This reminded me of something. Yesterday I happened to be listening to WJR, and a certain older host was going on and on about how Channel 4 can't go on without Bernie. "HE'S ...

Re: Thoughts on the Current State and Potential Future of Detroit Radio

Problem you have is that you have a handful of corporations that own the majority of the radio stations currently. You pretty much have the same 500-600 song playlist with the current hits being played every 3.5-4 hours just about everywhere. Only thing different is the imaging and call letters ...

Re: April Ratings

I would simulcast on 96.3 for a few months and have 96.3 become WJR FM. Sell 760 to some religious outfit and that would be it. I'm sure the religious broadcasters can afford whatever the offer is. Oh my gosh this would so awesome. Some kid flips on 96.3 to hear a song by the Beibs, and instead ...

Re: April Ratings

WJR at 1.7, perhaps an all time low. Who is fired first? I still cannot fathom how this station was able to squander its golden history and massive signal with such uncreative and lackluster programming. WJR does well. They have strong billing numbers. Many advertisers and they hold their own. Drew ...

Re: Local 4 buyout packages

Hope to see Karen Drew bought out. Might watch channel 4 again. Go soak your head if you can find a square bucket. Drew in a sleeveless top is Must See TV for me. Pretty harsh--she visited my place of employment earlier this year. I didn't speak to her directly, but she was treating everyone else ...
