Re: Amanda Porter at WOOD TV

I find her news reading...problematic and contrived...8-) Let alone her pronunciations. Man shot on Burton and Boo-kannon Avenue? BOO-KAANAN? Then toss in the young news readers that have a problem pronouncing the T in the middle of a word..Mounan instead of mountain. Lanant instead of LATENT. THAT ...

Well when I originally posted this I thought that it was just gonna be another oddball thing Vance said and Justin was peddling for rage bait.

WOOD Radio Host Platforms Pet Eating Conspiracy

One of the WOOD Radio hosts deciding to go all in on one of the more bizarre Trump/Vance lies about people eating pets.

What a weird turn into grifiting by the former WSNX AM host.

Re: The Rotten Rat Bastards at Wood TV, their accomplices at the Sentinel and source blowers at TheDesk.net

Looks like these two guys with funny names just beat B93 in mornings. I wonder if this is a fluke or if they'll end up sticking around?

I think they're Freebies & Chicken Wings or something.

Re: Major format flip in SW Michigan: WQLQ 99.9 FM

Consider that WKLQ 94.5 has been short spaced for 60 years or more, to WKTI 94.5 Milwaukee, and WCEN 94.5 Mt. Pleasant/Hemlock. Under the newer 73.213 rules, they should hold on to their tower site for dear life...WKLQ fell into the old Section 73.213 short spacing zones from 1964 to the early ...

Re: Trump Shot.

Nothing wrong with retiring. But that's not what happened there. It was a box and keycard confiscation, not a cake in the break room. Also nothing wrong with getting fired, it happens to the best in this business. Reese rode Neal's talent and basement weather reports to a nice nest egg. The epitome ...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps

Doug Montgomery, longtime B93 OM/PD, is at Townsquare and is their country format captain. If I'm not mistaken, he is also the programming head for the Grand Rapids station group. This is a great point, I'm puzzled why they haven't taken any of their properties country with that asset in the ...

Re: Blunder 107.3 ties worst AQH share ever; WGRD expands lead over WLAV

Mix 95.7 sees life and posted its best 12+ mark in a while. My wife isn't into Christmas music so she's been playing WLHT more than usual. I'm wondering if this is an anti-Christmas bump? I will give them credit, even though I'm not the target audience, the morning show has sounded much better ...

Re: Nielsen #s for GR radio - some significant movements!

The River has very old demos. I wouldn't move that brand to 95.7. Why do they have an AC, Hot AC, and Classic Hits in that building? 60% of the cluster going after very similar demos. Someone mentioned country and I'd usually say that would be a a dumb move. But maybe you give that 95.7 frequency ...

Re: Grand Rapids Nielsen audio numbers

You've got to imagine that with Rush allegedly dead (HAS ANYONE SEEN A LONGFORM DEATH CERTIFICATE), and the straight piffle that's on every day after 9am, that WOOD is not going to see the halcyon days of the past. I don't even think the '22 or '24 election cycles are going to help that any longer ...

Re: Blunder 107.3's outsourced morning show is about to change again

What an impotent mess Thunder is, why again did they dump the Nash imaging?

B93 hasn't had a fully local morning show in over a year, yet they've made NO improvements in ratings or revenue.

You have to wonder if this is going to be a priority for the new management team.

Chalk me up as another one who has enjoyed Jim Costa. I think he is fitting in well at 97.1 so far. No complaints. I was pleasantly surprised to hear him during the Lions game a few weeks back when I was listening to the game. Considering the ratings success he had, I'm glad he was able to make the ...
