I expect to hear “beep beep” from a grade schooler, not from a meteorologist in a top 50 market! This isn’t Pocatello, Idaho!

I really don't know what's going on with this operation, but 1680 has not been on the air for at least a couple of months now. The translator at 102.5 is still on the air with a mono signal. In this day and age, I can't fathom an FM music station not playing their music in stereo. When 1680 was ...

That's a damn good newscast from 1980. With the exceptions of Warren Reynolds, Dick Evans and Henry Erb, I believe all the folks featured were gone by the time Newscenter 8 became News 8. I am unsure if they were fired, left on their own, or a combination thereof. I think Cary Berglund stuck around ...

CW7 ran a promo about changes happening on 1-1-24. Does anyone know what’s going on at the station? It was something about ARC, whatever that is.

And now Marlee Wierda from WOOD TV is leaving soon.

First and foremost, this is why no organization should use internal memos to communicate anything of a sensitive nature. It should be done verbally and privately. Anything written can and will be used as evidence. Second, I think it's safe to say that most of the push-back from LGBTQ stories are ...

Can someone at 120 College SE please educate Amanda on pronunciation again? It’s not an M-I-G 23; it’s a MiG23. Last night she pronounced Alexandra Limon’s last name wrong. When she first started, she mispronounced Emily Linnert’s last name two weeks in a row. God do I miss Whitney Burney. She is an ...

You already know the answer to that, which is no.

Time to clean house when it comes to upper management. Maybe someone at Nexstar can coax Bob Henry out of retirement.

Obit says he pastored churches out there. No specifics on denominations or cities.

He was in Menifee, California with United Church of Christ.

I just read Townsquare cancelled its nighttime syndicated show for the Classic Hits format. Distribution will cease in a few weeks. I believe GR was the largest market where that show aired. Format change ahead for WFGR? Considering that JoJo is gone and now Winters is leaving, I think it’s going t ...

I worked alongside Bill at WOOD TV in the late 80s and early 90s and then later at WPRR A/FM before he headed to California. He was a good man who cared about those less fortunate in life.

I’m glad I got to see his wife and daughter at his celebration of life.

Nice to see the Q and Jack holding steady. Speaking of Jack, I'm hearing more cuts that I haven't heard in ages -- Reel Big Fish's Sell Out, for example. Also heard Vehicle from the Ides of March this morning, too. Only time I'll hear those tracks is when I have SXM on. The Q is sounding better, as ...

Today is JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR. I could go on a rant against corporate radio, but I would just be repeating what others have said in the past.

I vaguely remember a segment on radio many years ago called "Bitch and Be Gone." The host would take callers for the last few minutes where they would get 10-15 seconds to complain about something. When their time expired, the call was dropped and the next caller was put on. But I don't remember ...
