Re: iHeart and HD
Probably saving a massive amount of money in royalty costs by shutting them off. It's cheaper to run them on the apps, by far.

Re: 95.7 The Lake - Benton Harbor/St. Joseph
the week I finally caught the dreaded Covid is the week you all have my ears ringing. Heh. I finally got my voice back, and am well enough to type this. Our own Bill Gamble, who is GM of our South Bend cluster, runs The Lake for us. It translates on 95.7 but originates on 99.9 HD2, at 50kw. Gets pre...

Re: Donovan Long New WOOD Daybreak Anchor
Donovan's smile adds so much to the broadcasts. His positivity seems to put me in a better mood each morning. A very well deserved add to a great show.

Well, alternative today is a tiny bit of crossover rap and some pop, yes. But this station was created by Bill Gamble of Q101 fame… https://www.thenewqyq.com

Re: May Nielsen survey for Grand Rapids
I believe they’ve already said they were done working together and Golic’s contract wasn’t renewed I believe. Greeny could do it by himself and just have guests and be interesting. Or he could ask Golic Jr, who is honestly better than his dad…

Re: May Nielsen survey for Grand Rapids
ESPN 96.1 reaches an all-time record low. The loss of Mike & Mike was strike #1. The loss of Jim Costa was strike #2. Just putrid numbers, even for that signal. That 0.8 share might be an all-time record low for the station ever since it first signed on, regardless of format. I can tell you that Sp...

I haven't watched The Weather Channel in quite a while, but I can't imagine Byron could screw that up worse than it was getting. I imagined Time Warner/CNN would have taken TWC when Comcast was selling it...they're in the same damn town for god sakes. I used to LOVE watching for hours on end just t...

Re: There will be some very surprised people if West Michigan ever has a real disaster,
I'd have to say that I hope this will certainly be less of a factor now that most of us doing shows from home were given access to remote 'boards' and controls that will allow us to at least log in from home and turn something on or up, or even go live from home. I personally feel lucky at how many ...

Re: New GR radio ratings - Thunder reaches new record low; Star 105.7 continues to struggle
I didn't realize 98.3 returned to its traditional AC roots. Shows ya how much I'm paying attention. :) I was always a fan of 98.3's take on traditional AC when 94.9 was still spinning Hot AC. The hilarious thing about that is that we make the joke all the time that "COSY 98.3" is alive and well onc...

Re: New GR radio ratings - Thunder reaches new record low; Star 105.7 continues to struggle
Even though Star 105.7 remained unchanged, 100.5 The River saw a boost - and shockingly - now leads 105.7 by seven tenths of a share! (I suspect 105.7 is probably still in the lead in A25-54, but I could be wrong about that.) Two observations that may explain that: A. Soft AC is continuing to do re...
