Re: Womc

I’m curious as to how much longer before the 70’s will be eliminated from WOMC’s playlist. Yeah, kinda sucks that Detroit, Motown....does not have an oldies (FM) station anymore. Can we get CKWW a translator set up on this side of the river somewhere? You know, like K-Love and every other religious...

Re: CBE FM 89.9 Signal Issues

I can confirm that Tropospheric Enhancement and Eskip have both been pretty active over the last week. I, for instance had WRRO Edon, OH (1.4KW) in over CBE a couple days this week from Monroe County. The band has changed dramatically over the last couple of weeks. Over the winter, I can point my a...

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS

Unlikely, except for perhaps one or more of the translators. Beasley, if it needs to raise cash prior to entering chapter 11, is more likely to look to divest stations in New Jersey, its crappy standalone AM in Atlanta, or stations in the puny Augusta, GA and Fayetteville, NC markets. Do you think ...

Re: Towpath to broadcast on 98.7

Good question! Right now, the plan is to take what we're doing online with oldies and move it to the air with some minor (more local) tweaks to programming. There will be quite a bit of focus on the smaller communities southwest of Toledo. The signal is small, it might not get much further north th...

Wixie: The station of The Lone Ranger, Challenge of the Yukon, The Green Hornet, Mickey Schorr, Fred Wolf, Lou Gordon, Mike Wallace, Douglas Edwards, Paul Winter..... And it's come to this? Just shut down the whole AM band. It's dead. Many have said AM Radio is dead for over 40 years now. Meanwhile...

So do you think we can actually see some of the Beasley Detroit properties on the selling block?

They overpaid for 105.9 and that group of translators.

Cumulus evidently didn't want to sell 93.1 to a commercial broadcaster. 93.1 sold for about $3 million less than 105.9.
What do you think the price tag on 105.9 be without translators?

I kinda like the massage parlor raid videos. Being an election year many community police departments are busting these human trafficking locations. Must see TV.

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS

If it gets to the point that Beasley has to sell any underperforming stations, I’m sure WDMK 105.9 would end up on the selling block. EMF would most likely be in the market to buy for their Air 1 station to be on a full power in Detroit.

Didn't he scam some people out of money to pay off his gambling debts? Or maybe his wife had to pay them off? I seem to remember Jeff Moss (RIP) laying into him a while back.
Is there any proof of this somewhere?

CBE FM 89.9 Signal Issues

I’ve noticed lately in Macomb County that CBE-FM 89.9 is not as strong as it once was. Has the power been reduced from the 100,000 watt signal that it’s allowed to broadcast at? There is a lot of co-channel interference as well in my location in Shelby Township. Anyone else notice the signal degrada...

Re: Towpath to broadcast on 98.7

Hey Paul! We're still a go. CP is in hand, currently working on the financials to get on air. We've got 3 years to do it, hoping to be on the air sometime in 2025. We're mostly an open book about it, so feel free to message with any questions. Will the station be Oldies and if not what format? Will...

Re: Japan, India decry Biden's description of them as xenophobic

They are both racing to the bottom. The recent photos of Trump have shown what appears to be an exhausted human. With his schedule it's no wonder. That is part of the liberal agenda, exhaust Donald Trump so he can collapse before November. So this is more than a second term race to the Whitehouse b...
