1210 sits on an old landfill. That can't be good for resale. A bit of topic,but wasn't The WFUR/WYHA tower also built on an old landfill? Is First Local Service still a thing?

I did see that a 100.7 was dropped in at Bear Lake after 99.9 was assigned to Custer. If that allocation gets moved toward TC, then another station would likely have to backfill and change its COL to Bear Lake (likely WIAA or WTCM-FM) I can't imagine anyone with any common sense moving another sign...

The "valley" areas of California get brutally hot in the summer. Sacramento, Fresno and Bakersfield all qualify. The latter two are particularly bad if you don't like heat. The only place in California I would live is the central coast... Monterey, Seaside, Carmel, etc. The late Earl Dickinson (WWJ...

I wonder if Mr. Yob will bother to get 1110 and 1210 back on-air before they expire?

1210 is slightly more valuable because it has the translator attached to it

Yep. VERY slightly

Hilarious

Sad to hear that former WWJ reporter Pat Sweeting has passed away.

I suppose LAV's sinking ratings and poor personnel decisions may have cost Mr. Falter his job? Or, in contrast, perhaps he chose to bail on his own? His replacement was the GSM for Cumulus' Dallas, TX sports and news/talk stations. Wouldn't surprise me if Sports makes a return to 107.3. https://rad...

Bob Brink! Correct!

No more calls...we already have a winner

Jim was a great talent. He was also part owner of the original WBNZ Frankfort "99-3 BNZ" for a time, under Forum Communications, with Marc Rosseels (McGuire) and one other Kalamazoo radio guy, who's name escapes me at the moment. I believe Jim recorded a lot of the liners, I.D's and sweepers used on...

TIME is still published? Seriously?

R.I.P Charles "Charlie Chuck" Welch, owner of WJUC. Former PD at WKLR 99.9. Worked at sister station (Booth) WJLB.

Natural causes. He was 85.

That high pitched hum is definitely not a ground wire.

I'm not sure what it is, but the CE should be able to pinpoint it (assuming there's still one on the payroll)

I wonder how many wannabe broadcasters have looked at Yob's stations? My best guess is "not many" As for Roy's stations, yes, there was a time when the Benzie and Manistee stations were billing between $12,000 and $25,000 a month. However, a mild winter is all it took to unravel those numbers. Colle...

I will say Jim Harper's early Saturday morning chat fest is not bad. Kam Carmen is his co-host. Perhaps he should've been given the weekday morning reins instead of Guy Gordon. Jamie Edmonds adds nothing to Guy's show; she should stick to TV. Agreed. 💯 There's no chemistry between Guy, Lloyd, or Ja...

"Old School" Saturdays on WGPR-FM was a lot of fun roughly 20 years ago. Foody would be perfect for Classic Soul. Not sure what he's doing since WMXD shitcanned his Sunday night show, and replaced it with reruns of Keith Sweat. Gerald McBride would be good too, obviously, but his Saturday night sho...
