Re: Cumulus is whoring its FM signals

In the past when GVSU had their radio “network” they purchased the air time and aired their commercials.

Re: Cumulus is whoring its FM signals

Simple…

Cumulus rents tower space from WGVU.

GVSU Athletics purchases airtime for their sports from Cumulus.

The two are not related.

Re: Rob Brandt retiring

I doubt they will hire anyone full time at this point as it's all about money. If Kim isn't the best fit she'll at least be a decent fill in until a decision is made. We'll see who is on this afternoon.

Does anyone know who will handle on-air duties in afternoons on LAV moving forward?
I heard Kim St. James on in Rob's Saturday Slot. I think she would be a good fit in the Afternoons.

Re: Rob Brandt retiring

Rob is a class act. His FB post only stated the facts nothing more. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere. The WLAV ratings are finally starting to go back up and this isn't going to help that!

I think it was used more on a regular basis until the Riots a couple of years ago.

[quote=originalzzmfmjock post_id=725376 time=1673555093 user_id=2796] Back to 1480 for a bit. I see on Radio Locator that the call letters are now listed as WSLI with a Christian Contemporary format, and owned by Smile FM. I also see where the 95.3 translator that Grand Valley owned also shows now b...

Tony Gates to WFGR?

If his non-compete period from contract expiration is six months, that period will expire very soon.
I think it’s up March 1st.

City says the initial notice of violation went out four months ago.
Notice of violation and eviction are different. The question is did the violation notice include an eviction notice?

Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations

The two station share an antenna out of the same facility so if the power was cut to the building then both would be off. Those two station are fairly low power. An Electrical bill of $84k? That would take years to accumulate. I don't think we're not hearing the full story from both sides. Even if t...

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

I'm curious to see where things are headed with the show. Travis has developed quite a bit over the last couple of years and will continue. It has to help the ratings that it's a local morning show. "Local" really does matter. Look at WION Jim has focused on serving the community and he makes money ...
