Re: Michigan sign stealing scandal

Perhaps the crappy OSU-run NPR station, instead of asking Gene Smith about Michigan's season, should instead be asking him if Ohio Stadium is dangerous for spectators, given the fact an attendee of commencement fell to her death days ago?

Re: Classic Rock WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens

Yup, the usual suspects would be the most likely candidates to buy the station if it were to be placed on the market - EMF, FLR (acquirer of 93.1 Detroit), VCY America and Relevant Radio. Stick value of 107.3 is probably somewhere within a range of $1.5 million to $2 million in the current climate. ...

Re: Detroit Pistons 2023-24

Pistons were denied permission by the Bucks to interview Jon Horst for the POBO gig. Horst evidently will remain Milwaukee's GM. Tyrese Haliburton scored 35 points and added 7 assists last night. Weaver thought an unproven 17 year old from France was the safer draft pick for a guard. Fuck Troy Weave...

Re: Tucker Carlson as Trump's VP?

Here's something that may shock some of you: I think Biden's handling of Israel has been very good overall. I fully support his recent pronouncement to not supply weapons for Israel's offensive in Rafah if certain humanitarian lines are crossed. All the while Biden is effectively funding Iran - the...

Re: Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor

They own The Detroit Free Press now. They essentially swapped out ownership of The Detroit News for ownership of The Detroit Free Press in a confusing transaction that closed about 15 years ago, I believe.

Re: BEASLEY DET VP accepts retirement package

I cannot help but wonder if 105.9's dramatically revised playlist (implemented within the past several days) and improved audio quality are due to his departure? Alternatively, perhaps he helped craft those changes on his way out the door? The station is suddenly sounding a lot better after sufferin...

Re: BEASLEY DET VP accepts retirement package

With Jameson gone, I'm holding onto a glimmer of hope that WRIF's god awful audio processing might improve. Mid treble is absurdly overemphasized and overall dynamic range / soundstage is lacking on so many songs.

Jade Springart (I may have misspelled her last name) has been the WRIF PD for a while. She reported to him.

Re: More stupidity from Dana Nessel

Ridiculous. He - like others - were fed misinformation from the MDEQ. His email communications show a clear concern for Flint residents.

Should he have pushed back more forcefully? Absolutely. But that lapse in judgement is not a crime.

Schuette and his team didn't bungle Flint. They were moving to trial with multiple cases that had undergone appropriate preliminary exams.

Re: Detroit Pistons 2023-24

Welp, Monty's replacement in Phoenix only lasted a season. Frank Vogel was fired earlier this week and is reportedly being replaced by Mike Budenholzer (whose Milwaukee team ironically defeated the Suns to win an NBA title in 2021). Perhaps coaching wasn't the issue a year ago in Milwaukee. They los...

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS

Look at their 10K and 10Q filings. No bizarre things are being included in Adjusted EBITDA. In first quarter, they correctly deduct the non-recurring sale proceeds from divestment of their BMI interest. Where I take umbrage is with Caroline's rosy remarks on the earnings release. She could be exposi...
