WFGR Mornings

Im still trying to figure out what happened to Craig Russell from the morning hustle on WFGR, in years past. I believe he’s working full time mornings at Z-106.3, an all-80’s station in Rapid City, South Dakota. He did spend quite a bit of time at WUPS Houghton Lake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapat...

Re: 1660 Kalamazoo "The Fan" flips to Urban Format

It's too bad the car stereo can only receive WQLR on I-94 from mile markers 74 to 81, as it would have been nicer to hear the station longer. Yeah, I’m with you there. 1k night and I lose it just outside the county boundary. Day is 10k, but more like an FM 10k. Stereo button is lit. Sent from my iP...

The Olympic Games Have Jumped The Shark

Should I be ashamed to admit that I find curling mildly entertaining? I work with someone who is one of the hot shots in the local curling association, so I’ve enjoyed watching it as well... and I’m going to check out this breaking stuff... with kudos to Linkin Park, I wonder if at least the music ...

My guess is 1560 will go silent or be sold.

Re: 1660 Kalamazoo "The Fan" flips to Urban Format

WTOU 1560 is a Daytimer, 4.1 D3. WQLR 1660 is Fulltime, 10/1 U1. I don't think you can flip the translator to 1660 as the originating station. The AM and translator go together. The WRTH designation is clearer than the FCC designation in this case. That translator originally simulcasted 98.5 WNWN, ...

Is WILX still running an analog channel? When consulting TV Guide, I see this:

Re: WMU is the best college football team in the state.

I’m looking forward to this Wednesday’s game in Kalamazoo vs Toledo. The Rockets were picked to win the MAC West and the conference. ESPN2 has the game.

Re: BIG 101.3 FM — Fun Hits You Know

I like it. 60’s/70’s... haven’t heard a song newer than 1975 yet in my limited listening. The station is missing one thing...

Jingles.

Re: weekend blues

I love blues. But I'm not within range of any stations that offer that kind of programming. If only there were some sort of device that allowed people to listen to a station outside of its normal broadcast range.... Turkeytop is old school. IIRC, he doesn’t even like smartphones.

Re: August Numbers

Now 980 WAKV is the only Adult Standards format left in the state (and they've always done the music locally to my knowledge), although 1480 WGVU does a traditional-pop show on Sunday mornings. Jim Higgs is the owner/operator of WAKV. I am more than certain he programs the music. Then again, you th...

Re: Christina Anthony

Welcome back Christina she must really like Kalamazoo to come back I didn't ever think she would return to the West Michigan TV market I wonder who is leaving the weather department. WWMT may be adding a 4th? I like all 3 on staff (Keith, Jeff and Will). Perhaps a run at WOOD? Plus Christina was ve...

17 and its subs went down around 2:30am. I haven’t checked back, but I’m surprised to hear it’s still down.

Re: New GR Nielsen Audio ratings (March 2020): WBFX falls to all-time record low

105.3 would've been a better place for the Q and WHTS could've gone to 107.3. I rarely ever listen to 101.3, hasnt been on my presets in about 4 years, IFart should switch WOOD-FM to 101.3. Having AAA on 94.5 gives former listeners of Z96.5 in Kalamazoo a landing spot, as 94.5’s signal is decent to...
