I’m surprised that the weather overachieved so much with this storm, as the local folks have been otherwise very accurate the last several weeks with predictions of rain/wind/etc. events, even as much as a week or more ahead of each event. Also - I think this is more of a “Winter Storm Warning” even...

Morning radio in general is dreadful. Every once in a while I'll give a listen to 96.3, 93.9, 99.5 or 95.5 to see what my former favorite stations are doing with their morning show. If it's not pre recorded actors pretending to be in a relationship dilemma or a snoozefest single jock show or the sa...

I haven’t noticed much of a difference lately. The other day I noticed every 3 songs was a post-2010 song for a few hours, and then the rest of the day just about nothing post-2003. Very odd scheduling. I also notice less and less soft rock and more R&B again though. Sigh. I want to hear England Da...

Most of the metro area got nothing. I found it funny that the local weather folks were overhyping it, plus some of the electronic freeway boards posted warnings last night.

I realize that parts of our NE area got slammed with rain last night, but the majority of the Metro Detroit area saw none at all. Epic fail forecast? Most of our local stations predicted 1-2 inches, and maybe 3 for most of us.

It’s amazing to me how poorly anything related to HD Radio is executed. The national HD Radio website is not even accurate as to what the current subchannels are. Locally, at least a few of the subchannels are not even working now (WJLB HD2 and WKQI HD2). Additionally, you have situations where, wit...

I never like to see anyone lose their job, so I wish him well. I always wished, after Foster’s departure, that Valenti would get a co-host, as opposed to a ‘yes’ man like Sully.

I am glad to see stronger ratings the last few books, as the playlist gets a little larger. IMO, If you swapped out 3-4 of the more poppier songs each hour with more R&B type material, this would sound a lot like the former Smooth Jazz, don’t you think?

WDVD's numbers don't look much better. Both of those Cumulus stations have hemorrhaged roughly 1.5 shares over the past year. In 96.3's case, it's a mostly voicetracked station in the wrong format. Top 40 is atrocious right now. The only true live daypart is the morning show and it feels like it is...

IMO - *WOMC just played the Fugees, “Killing Me Softly”...sounds really out of place, even with the sprinkling in of 90s music. *WCSX’s choice of what sounds like Soft AC (slower Billy Joel and Eagles songs) mixed with Tesla and Warrant songs doesn’t sound right. *As for WLLZ, sounds like they raide...

Are all of the shifts voicetracked? It sure sounds like it. Most of the beyond-tired, old tracks get played here. Wow - not anything like the 1980s Wheels, or even the 1990s Wheels. Who in this hell wants to hear “Summer of ‘69,” or “Nothing Else Matters” for the 10,000th time?

BKRPDM

I think the music sounds fine. For a while there they were just simply duplicating WOMC. They just need to double the size of the playlist.

BKRPDM

Pam’s Sunday morning show still includes a bit more “Sunday Morning Brew”-type material than the rest of the day. And the liners still mention the name.

BKRPDM

I’m quite surprised that two of the highest rated stations, ‘CSX and WOMC, have tweaked so much in response to WLLZ.

Are you guys sure you weren't listening to 93.9 The River, 94.3 CKSY or 104.3 WOMC instead?

I'm skeptical that WCSX would play that song. Doesn't fit.
I’m sorry, Guys! I meant “Shine”, by Collective Soul. Just before 6:00.
