Re: It's not radio, it's not even religion, it's relationship

One station that I’ve always found their location to be very odd is Power 91.9 whose tower is 5 minutes from me and a black gospel,station it’s 99% white here, it seems that 95.3 would be a way better signal for them to be on and 91.9 would be better for the 92.3 Lowell high station. Gosh, I haven't ...

Re: It's not radio, it's not even religion, it's relationship

Aren't stations like Smile FM really "Profit Faith" operations? Going to dollars and not too concerned about the content? I have never heard them, so I have no idea. Superior Communications is a non-profit actually. They're also tax-exempt. Smile FM accepts donations, of course, but I don't know ...

Re: It's not radio, it's not even religion, it's relationship

As a DXer and not a fan or follower of the industry in general, I have a lot of respect for stations like WCSG. I've very publicly trashed some religious broadcasters (Smile FM, Strong Tower, etc.) for their practices and am not shy about it. Of course, I always believe they have every right to do ...

Re: 9&10, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT A GR TORNADO

We don't care, Alma, and Newaygo can't get your shitty station, please return to the game. I certainly disagree. I have cable now, so I don't watch 9&10 over the air, and frankly, living in Newaygo County, I couldn't care less what is going on up north when WWMT covers the local stories here ...

Thanks for that correction. I checked my messages and see that I checked the stations instead at 8:12 Friday night and they were off. Guess I just missed it. I bet they just abruptly turned off without any mention of anything too.

Re: 99.9 and 97.5 Benton Harbor change calls

That goodbye video was yours truly. Rough day. Mgmt has not told us what 107.9 will end up being. For now, it’s playing Sunny 101.5’s Christmas stream. Engineers and sales needed to do a bunch of work to move orders and STLs this week so the move got bumped to Thursday. But it went well for all int ...

Re: 99.9 and 97.5 Benton Harbor change calls

It seems the 98.3 switch was Thursday, not Tuesday. I checked things on Tuesday and Wednesday, and seeing nothing had changed anywhere, I gave up. Then noticed 99.9's website was the same Thursday but had the new logo. Then see the goodbye video from 98.3 from Thursday evening (at least they did a ...

Re: 99.9 and 97.5 Benton Harbor change calls

106.1 is simulcasting 960 WSBT. 99.9 is probably flipping to country. I assumed so for 99.9 given the call letter swap initially. I recorded the last half hour of 106.1 before they abruptly switched mid-song to WSBT. I really enjoyed that station. QYQ could have done a better job at perhaps saying ...

Re: 99.9 and 97.5 Benton Harbor change calls

Just announced… alt is moving to 96.1 and 98.3 next week. I did call the 96.1 flip. Could you share the source of this information? Just curious on more information. I assume you are referring to 98.3 WCXT and the 96.1 translator in South Bend? And if that's alternative moving to those two, is that ...

99.9 and 97.5 Benton Harbor change calls

I have noticed that nobody else has brought these changes up in the past week, which make it quite clear that some format swaps/flips are about to occur: Back on the 11th, 97.5 Y Country sent their WYTZ calls over to Live 99.9. In turn, 97.5 changed their calls to WRRA. It appears the FCC approved ...

Re: 89.1 Shelby & 89.9 Greenville On The Air

96.7 in the Flint area plays a mix of mostly smooth jazz and AC gold based on the few times I've heard the station. I like the music mix. It's not strictly instrumentals. Agreed that it isn't all bad. Right now, it's all Christmas tunes, so it's a little harder to judge overall as I only hear 96.7 ...

Re: 89.1 Shelby & 89.9 Greenville On The Air

89.1 WDRZ, with its instrumental music format, is in better standing with the FCC than any of the Henderson stations as it's on the air with something! Speaking of Henderson, their 750am in Petoskey finally got its license yanked. Oh totally. I think Ed, who runs Smile, does things by the book and ...

89.1 Shelby & 89.9 Greenville On The Air

Two new stations have come on the air in West Michigan in the past few weeks with plenty more to come. 89.9 WJCG Strong Tower Radio in Greenville turned on back on Nov. 29th with a whole 15kw to cover the entire region. This adds to overlapping 89.7 in Grand Rapids, 93.1 in Grand Haven, and 91.9 ...
