Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps
WLHT's good showing is noteworthy, however, as that normally would be one of the stations arguably most susceptible to hemorrhaging share to Star, CSG and TRV during the holiday season. My wife can not stand Christmas Music so we ended up with WLHT on quite a bit during December, I will say that th...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs
Whatever they're paying Tommy Carroll isn't enough I know there aren't many six figure PDs, but if he's not already there TSM should seriously consider it as GRD's revenue potential more than warrants it. The key word there is potential, the TSM sales team has the worst broadcast conversion rate in...

Re: It's Giving Broke Boy, WKFR Cuts Local Mornings?
Still wondering why Chelsea would be let go? She was the one who got those ratings. Keep her. Welp, they brought in a boring placeholder. So, I'm guessing Chelsea was too expensive and didn't want to work with Dana again. Very strange to dump a #1 show for whatever is about to happen with Dana and ...

Re: Jim Costa going to mornings on The Ticket after Mike Stone retires
Good. He was obnoxious. Costa carried that show. Isn't Drew (or Droo) in the Cannabis business these days? I recall seeing a news report along those lines. I always felt Drew was the 'show' part of that dynamic. All respect to Costa, but Drew pulled him out of Sports Nerd into an entertainer. Maybe...

I think it's also on Peacock, so there is an option for those with Smart TVs/devices.

Re: Updated ratings!
Great news for Sunny 101.5 and for Live 99.9. I feel bad for the listeners of U93, a station with a great history. U93 is very similar to KFR, it's heritage makes it pretty much bulletproof in the ratings. It's always top two with B100. I don't think even the new lady can screw that up. I am surpri...

It hasn't worked in the past few years, why keep it after she's been canned twice by the company?MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 7:32 amWhoever does the voiceovers on 105.3 Hot FM is fucking awful.

Was it an untenable relationship with Marshall or was it that they no longer want a two salaried AM show? Perhaps Chelsea refused to deal with the boys club management?

It's Giving Broke Boy, WKFR Cuts Local Mornings?
Chelsea Rose has left the building in Kalamazoo at the #1 station with the #1 morning show. Can the sales team not monetize this situation? Unsure if they're planning on a replacement, but their Michigan track record of late is cutting salary at the sake of local talents while the sales teams stumbl...

Re: Rob Brandt retiring
(Edit - I now see they are doing a 1975 themed weekend. That answers that question.) Gregg Henson is a talk radio guy. What does he know about scheduling music on a heritage classic rock station? I certainly appreciate and enjoy his talk radio abilities, but he's a questionable choice for PD of WLA...

Re: Nielsen Ratings May, 2023
Magic's decision to plug in a Compass Show (FBHWs syndication partner) was stupid. The audience has now gotten to know two morning shows that were then taken away from them. Not to mention that Dee Dee is terrible. I think at this point they really don't know what to do over in that building. Other ...

Will Cumulus be Selling Any GR Stations?
Reports are that Cumulus is looking for a cash infusion and is selling stations in multiple markets to a 'National Religious' broadcaster. WDRQ in Detroit has been reported as one of the stations to be sold: radioinsight.com/headlines/253013/rumor-mill-wdrq-detroit-to-be-sold/ Considering the tradit...
