Surprisingly, I've never been able to pick up a listenable signal from WKLQ along I-94 in the Benton Harbor area.

I actually do not have any such app on my phone. I subscribe to RadarScope Pro, but that app does not offer push alerts.

Alexa does communicate weather watches, advisories and warnings, but only if I direct her to "play my notification."

Not sure I understand what you mean. Severe thunderstorm warnings do not trigger EAS on mobile devices.

Extremely well stated; I agree with everything you wrote. You stated the issues more eloquently than I could have done. If I had to stack rank the issues by degree of importance, lack of breaking news leadership would be #1, the auto repair shop look-alike studio would be #2, and lack of a consumer ...

There was zero warning info on screen on 7 during the 4PM newscast (round one of the severe weather).

The nighttime storms were handled much better.

Here are 10PM household and in-demo results for Chicago from a year ago. WBBM-TV channel 2 was a colossal disaster in 25-54. SIXTH place, trailing 7, 5, 9, and both Spanish language newscasts by leaps and bounds. That's amazingly awful given the fact CBS's primetime lineup serves as a lead-in. https...

So, basically, some of Paul's prior duties have been reassigned to someone else, and the station is trying to put a positive spin on everything. Other than the addition of a sports anchor, which was an overdue and obvious move, and the stale "Top 6 at 6" gimmick, I've seen no discernible change in t...

An update as to what caused the chaos and what the company is doing to prevent a relapse:

I sure as hell wouldn't trust their software at this point.

Well, 104.9 licensed to Marshall is a Class A. Of course, the programming found on 102.5 K'zoo, 95.5 K'zoo, and 104.9 Marshall / BC is Urban AC. Ditto 100.1 Muskegon (class A signal). 104.9 in GR is current-intensive hip-hop. Totally different music format from the others. I think Urban AC on a clas...

Yup. They moved it closer to South Bend some time ago; I want to say between 2000 and 2005 sometime. Before the advent of the 99.9 translator in Grand Rapids, it was a very frequent visitor on the FM dial there during tropo. I like the playlist I'm seeing. Much more interesting than the lame playlis...

Live 99.9 flipped from CHR to Alternative at 12PM today. Playlist leans classic alt, it appears. Good mix played in the inaugural hour. I wonder if sister station 106.1 in Benton Harbor / St. Joe will head in a new direction? Doesn't make much sense to keep alternative on that signal. Is this the fi...

That would be Magic 104.9 (the FM translator for 1410 WNWZ is W285FO at 104.9 FM). They've cracked a 3 share once or twice before, but it's been at least a few years since it last happened. They usually score in the 1.5 to 2 share range. Will be interesting to see if this result proves to be an aber...

DeBoer went to Bama, Harbaugh took the Chargers job, James Franklin stinks, Ferentz is no better than Day, and Lincoln Riley is nothing special. So, it's a coin toss between Day and Ferentz at this point. By January 2025, I hope to be able to say definitively that Moore is the best head football coa...

Rogers scored an inside the park home run last night. Somewhere, Ron is smiling at the all-out effort given by his favorite son, Jake Rogers. https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/ar_16:9,g_auto,q_auto:good,w_1024,c_fill,f_jpg/mlb/em8mlmrrjnhrl9cytwb0 An ITPHR by a catcher has to be, hi...

WGRD nears its all time record high since going Rock in the late 00s. WLHT and WHTS remain stuck in the low 2's. In the case of WLHT, they are at or near their all-time record low since adopting the WLHT call sign roughly 40 years ago. Magic 104.9 reaches a new record high. Blunder picks up a half s...
