Re: Shits 96.5 is no more in Kalamazoo

I’ve lived in the area for 25 years. I believe every modern commercial format has been tried at that frequency.

Re: 106.5 JACK FM playlist tweaks?

My money is on Jack FM transitioning to some AC or Modern AC.

Re: Shits 96.5 is no more in Kalamazoo

I miss Hits. Based on the ratings, I was probably one of three people that listened, but I like all of the music and limited commercial load. It definitely went through different playlist versions, but I liked the CHR/Alternative mix at one point and sometimes they would sprinkle some songs you ...

Re: 99.9 and 97.5 Benton Harbor change calls

I’m bummed about Alternate moving! 99.9 came in fairly well in the westside of Kzoo. 98.3 doesn’t seem to have the same reach. It’s a good mix of music. Maybe someday Alternative will stick around in reach of Kzoo…I’ll stream until then. In my monthly-ish travels to the westside, I have no problem l ...

Re: WZUU and WQXC have been sold!

It’s been said before, but I am digging the playlist updates. I’ve heard songs that haven’t been one the radio in years.

Re: CHSN Coming to West Michigan OTA

It will be interesting to see how the RSN gap is filled. CHSN is filling the spot of NBC Sports Chicago, which ceased operations. Marquee Sports continues and is owned by the owners of the Chicago Cubs. CHSN is to show the Bulls, White Sox, and Blackhawks, which NBC Sports use to have the rights to ...

Re: Major format flip in SW Michigan: WQLQ 99.9 FM

Excited about the new format, but heard a promo for Brooke and Jeffery in the morning still. I hope that won’t be long-term. Also, a little surprised they are still using the “Live” 99.9 identifier. Perhaps more tweaks coming? Good music mix!

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon

For Kzoo, what do you even do with 96.5 at this point? Just about every format has been tried there. Sports talk is about the only thing left, but that’s not going to pull in much higher numbers than where they are today. Country didn’t get a fair shake with the Bob & Tom morning lead in, but they ha ...

Re: CW7 changing on 1-1-24?

YouTube TV has replaced The CW with a national feed in West Michigan. Not sure if it is temporary until 41.2 eventually replaces it? The ARC (3.2) is no longer available on the service.

Re: Fox17 story on WXYZ/7 Detroit?

As the sharing of resources between nearby stations continues with the same ownership, it makes me wonder if channel number references eventually goes away and more generic branding comes along like you see when there is two stations sharing resources in-market (i.e. Mid-Michigan Now). Could there ...

Could it be a money move being Bally is in bankruptcy and trying to survive?
