Re: One person doing news and weather in market 12
Ah, the duopoly is owned by Meredith. About the only owner out there more incompetent than Scripps and Tegna. That speaks volumes! As someone who grew up watching WNEM TV5 News, I can truly say I wish Meredith would get out of the broadcasting business. Watching what happened to their news operatio...

Re: JIM PRICE STINKS!!!
Now that the Tigers season is (mercifully) over, I'd like to wrap this up for the winter. Over the past decade, each season Price has been worst than the previous season. One of the more annoying things to me this year was that he added "He's looking for a cookie" to his arsenal of crap phrases. Ye...

Re: LAV who?
It’s pretty apparent that the Steve Gorman show (from Westwood One, a division of Cumulus) is being forced by Cumulus corporate onto every classic rock station they have. They dropped the popular Alice Cooper show on Saginaw’s Wheelz 104.5 for this. Haven’t listened to Gorman but Alice had some inte...

Re: And The Employee of the Month Is --
He’s right. My folks bought me a car jack from there to jack up my Camaro when I store it in the winter time. I used it twice a year and it lasted about 3 years before the fluid leaked out of it and it became inoperable. My dad bought a battery saver last winter for one of his vehicles and it shorte...

Re: Ric Ocasek RIP
Exactly the opposite for me as I can’t change the station fast enough when Eddie Money comes on. Really burnt out on his music from radio overplay. Most Cars tunes I’ll listen toSgt.

Re: 40 years ago in 1979
Interesting thread! I'm really digging all this history! 1979? We owned Bay City, Saginaw, and Midland at WHNN. I can still smell the Tuscola studios, dump that they were. Yet they still dumped the rock format a few years later for soft rock / AC despite being number 1 overall in the ratings 😡🤬🙄
