Michigan Radio & TV Buzzboard

For the sake of accuracy, the WJFM switch to B-93 was in July '92. The first Birthday Bash would have been in '93. I was working in Cadillac in the mid 80s and enjoyed the reach of WCXT's signal, you could get it from Traverse City to South Haven. When they went "Z-Rock," I took a crash course in ...

I worked with Robb in radio (he was my interviewer for a job, pre-internet!) and have been running into him in recent years as he participated in YMCA Spin classes.

A very good and supportive guy, just the same as you see when he's on camera. Offering my best thoughts for a full recovery.

Kum and Go had only just arrived in the Grand Rapids, MI market a couple of years ago, adding a station very near a vintage non-conformist Speedway near I-96 on Plainfield Avenue, with another about four miles away on Alpine. I thought they may have had the chutz to take over, the way Fifth/Third ...

I got what was called a "local special" OTA antenna in 2009 when I worked with a broadcast engineer just steps away from our newsroom, who hooked me up with the supplier. It has taken some blows, most recently the Aug. '23 tornado that bopped the top of Comstock Park and some of the elements lay ...

However you would choose to describe my inquiry, I heard nothing back and the trade magazines don't make it sound like certain markets suffered at all.

I shot a flare this morning at someone who would be in the know, no reply yet.

Seemed to me there were local cuts in December of '07, November of '11 and June of '14, articles like this say Jan. 2020 was "a big one."

Is Bob Kaser getting the fill-in for these games? Ken is still posting on social media with no mention of ills he might have.

And with much social media fanfare, It's Star 105.7.

I was a little boggled, but at my age that's the norm now. I have established a new password for the Board.

So it's a Cheshire Cat kind of thing? I doubt Slotkin can hold a smile and disappear, but if it were the case I would go door-to-door campaigning for her. Mike Rogers has had a hand in some significant policy construction over the years in Lansing and Washington but there's something unnerving about ...

As to The Painted Horse's challenge of Greg's reality, it can be solved with the typing of nine characters into a search engine. I knew he was with WGVU, on air with their FM, defining that he presents Friday and Saturday nights with that incredibly quick exercise. He is focused in his messaging, no ...

I listened to the Lions on a trip toward Detroit Sunday afternoon into evening and heard his in-game drops. Marc's voice sounds legit for such a role in the market, I suppose when he's "in the open court" on-air there could be many stumbles because his social media I have also seen kinda screams "I ...

One of the facets in a restored thread is learning what you didn't know, in that Terri's Jacobs Financial involvement is now as a client, we certainly saw her on their billboards but the man and his blocks of ice and other ads will persist. Pretty hard to break off 30+ years of broadcast involvement ...

The pipe dream for Tigers OTA could be met in Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo on 64.8 or 64.9, which sit idle at the moment. I am now acquainted with a 313 Presents exec but won't see him for five weeks, by which time all should be resolved.

This does mean the White Sox, Black Hawks, Bulls, but not the Cubs, who are on Marquee (wondrous stating of the obvious). A simple search showed the early June story that explained the network was coming to pass. It's not optimal but I will gladly take it, hearkening back to the days of George and ...
