Re: WZUU and WQXC have been sold!

Nothing Midwest offers on the local dial in K'zoo is even remotely competitive with KFR as far as female AQH share is concerned. I bet KFR outperforms 96.5, 98.5 and 106.5 on a combined basis in W25-54 and W18-49 in the Kalamazoo book. You are right that a desire to offer a station to advertisers th...

Re: WZUU and WQXC have been sold!

How about this for a hypothetical: -106.5 flips to classic rock. It is a proven format along the I-94 corridor. Will also give listeners farther north a second or third option, which may be welcome in spots where LAV's signal isn't as good as it once was. Bob & Tom move from 92.5 to 106.5. -92.5 fli...

Re: COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!

The Big Ten has its share of rotten teams. I'd still put Michigan no lower than mid-pack in the conference.

I think Michigan to some degree played down to its competition today.

Re: COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!

The FG misses were from 38 yards and 42 yards. With under a minute to play in the game, Michigan got flagged for a clear late hit on the Arkansas State QB on an incomplete pass on 4th down. That would've been the end of the ball game. Instead, Arkansas State winds up scoring a TD about two plays lat...

Re: COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!

Too many unforced errors by the Wolverines today. To defeat Arkansas State by fewer than two touchdowns is embarrassing. Last year, Michigan would've won by at least 40 points. Michigan needs to clean up the penalties. They just look sloppy. Davis Warren is a disaster. I could understand 3 INTs agai...

Re: Vizio D Series TV, my experience

If blooming and inaccurate black color rendering are only minor concerns, I agree that lower end LG and Samsung models are a decent option. TCL sets are worth a look, too. I have no strong opinion on Amazon Fire TV sets yet. Hisense is completely random with regard to reliability, and Vizio (once a ...

Re: COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!

Alex Orji needs to be the starting QB for the Wolverines, in my opinion. Warren is too reckless when facing pressure.

Offense as a whole looks more cohesive with Orji at QB.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024

As an added bonus, the Twins lost, too! Watch this team miss the postseason by a whisker, just like the Wings. Still, the fact the Tigers are playing meaningful games in September is a pleasant surprise! White Sox have a damn good chance of setting the record for worst MLB winning percentage in the ...

Re: Laura Loomer, noted (you know), having an oversized influence on Trump?

Politically speaking, this is the same exact playbook Republicans used back in 2008 against Obama - guilt by association. Trying to tie him to Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright and argue that he holds the same values and positions as those with whom he associates. Are you suggesting questioning those ...

Re: Laura Loomer, noted (you know), having an oversized influence on Trump?

Trump always seems to seek refuge among the far right nutjobs who are willing to lick his feet (and probably more) whenever he faces adversity (in this case, losing the debate with Harris).

Translators and LPFMs such as 93.3, 94.8, 97.3, and 102.5 pull shares unknown to the general public. I've heard and read mixed statements as to whether or not any reported SXM listenin...

Some surprises in August Nielsen #s

WGRD retreats from a 7.6 to a 6.0, which is in line with its long-term average. More surprisingly perhaps, WCSG falls from a 7.6 to a 5.8. WLAV, after an impressive 5.6 share prior survey, retreats to a 4.4, which is near or a bit below their long-term average (i.e. past five years). WLHT continues ...
