Michigan Radio & TV Buzzboard

Cumulus did not subscribe to Flint and Saginaw-BayCity-Midland Nielsen reports. They join MacDonald in not buying books. That makes Inside Radio report on the Fall book irrelevant without some dominant stations listed from those companies. The question becomes how much longer will Nielsen do ...

On a recent trip to northern Michigan we were impressed by the music selection and presentation on Big Country 102.9 from Indian River. The signal covers a broad area. The best sounding country station we’ve heard in a long while. The only downer on this trip was when trying to listen to AM and the s ...

106.3 also has greater Flint coverage

Compare coverage maps and you will see that 106.3 actually has greater coverage of key cities than 100.5.

They would be wise to move WSGW-FM to 106.3 to avoid the frequent off air and power reductions they experience at 100.5 on the Delta College tower. Flip the Core or some other format to 100.5, maybe even sell it to cut costs for the lease with Delta and to free cash for some sorely needed digital ...

ABC12 was all over the turmoil among Flint City Council members. The allegation that they have an agreement not to report negative stories is false.

ABC 12 aired the M-30 bridge story Wednesday morning.

ABC 12 has dropped weekend morning news as of this weekend.

No Saturday morning local newscast!

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!

Tiger problems are rare and seem to happen when there are weather delays or issues with the stations automation system. The 100.5 signal is not clear since the recent tower painting was done. The 790 sound is clear and not muffled or distorted like fm.

100.5 has had distortion for more than four hours so far this afternoon. It is unlistenable! I would hate to think advertisers have to pay for ads during this period.

Enjoy that #1 while you can. It’s a result of a presidential election year, Spirit winning the Memorial Cup and a good year for the Tigers. Don’t expect it to repeat in 2025
Z93 has been impressive with their promotions and visibility around that area at key events.

But they are not identical. There’s additional info in this one.

This station has continual technical snafus. Tonight and last night Tom Sullivan Show was unavailable due to a computer issue. Last week another missing Bill O’Reilly show. Also telephones were down again on this talk station, plus microphone issues that keep happening. Station is often silent for l ...
