Wasn't 1991 the year WLAV briefly tried an Alternative Rock format? Was Abrams involved on that decision? Of course, the main reason WLAV was losing so badly to KLQ was because 94.5 had an enormously popular morning show. WLAV put forth minimal effort in mornings until they stuck the (somewhat contr...

The Republican candidate was such a piece of vile garbage, that a Democrat managed to win a special election in a deep red district that includes the likes of Grandville, Walker, and Sparta, among other communities. https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/democrat-carol-glanville-wins-special-electi...

I agree that police training is inadequate and outmoded. It's hard to fix those problems if funding is slashed. Police brutality and malfeasance would be lessened in quick order if (a) police agencies weren't responsible for reviewing alleged misconduct by other police agencies, and (b) if union con...

Justice Roberts has announced a launch of a probe regarding the leak of the draft opinion.

I agree with Ben Zonia that harsh consequences are appropriate if the leaker was someone on staff.

Lew Dickey, John Dickey and Jan Jefferies ruined many stations owned by Cumulus with terrible programming decisions. Those are all radio guys. Were hedge funds a big part of the problem? You bet they were. They overlent and failed to replace poorly performing executives. I think two or three compani...

I agree it's an ugly building. Painted sheet metal, a few awnings over entrances, and not much else.

My post of April 20th hinted at possibly 3 or fewer days with high temps of 60 or higher from April 25 through May 5. We won't reach 60 today. As of today, only 3 days since April 25 have hit 60 degrees, and on one of those days, late morning and afternoon temps were in the 50s most areas. We should...

Not holding my breath, but there's a good chance you will be quite happy with next week's weather. Multiple days in the 70s and perhaps even 80s appear likely.

It's been at least a couple years since I last suffered a database crash. Last one was 2019, I believe. His contract reportedly was set to expire in August. He probably was making quite a bit of money. Cumulus is cheap (they air garbage syndicated shows at night on many of their large and major mark...

Chatter on WLAV's Facebook page suggests Tony Gates is still under contract (until August, according to one post) but has been pulled off the air. One repeat post, presumably from Michelle, states: "it was great working with a legend like Tony." Note the usage of past tense. Clearly, his contract is...

98.3's signal is virtually useless north of the Monroe County line these days.

From its original site, the signal was decent as far north as Wyandotte, Southgate and Taylor. Around Metro Airport, its strength was pretty much on par with WIOT.

Who handled mornings with Michelle today? Continuing my rant on local radio, am I the only rock fan who finds WGRD almost unbearable? I think their music mix has never sounded worse than it does now. WGRD has turned into our father's rock station. So sick of hearing 80s hair bands, dinosaur rock, an...

It cost $6 million to renovate in the late 90s, as I recall.

Thanks for the info.

WOAI = today's WWWW-FM
WBRB = today's WDKL-FM

All the rest of the call signs are still in use.
