With WOTV occupying cable 9 in Muskegon and Fremont, I wonder if it replaced WWTV on one or both of those systems. Muskegon cable has never carried any adjacent-market stations. Even in the very early CATV days? I know Whitehall had WVTV from Milwaukee until 2006 (it only lasted that long due to GR...

WLEC has a translator CP at 93.5 that was granted 2-3 months ago, AFAIK, it’s still being built... but at the US 250/Ohio Turnpike interchange... not at the Quonset Hut. Who knows if the copper ground system at WLEC is up to par after 72 years? The translator appears to be going on the same tower t...

The best thing for 101.9, IMHO, would be for IPR to buy it and move IPR News to 101.9, spinning off 91.5 to a religious broadcaster (i.e. The Promise FM, which just bought 100.9 East Jordan from IPR) Y'know, that's really not a bad idea at all. With 101.9 now putting a listenable signal into the Ma...

Was there a point in time in which WOTV wasn't carried in Muskegon? Until about ten years ago, WZZM wasn't carried in Battle Creek or Three Rivers WOTV was carried on Muskegon cable in the 1980s when it was still WUHQ. I don't recall exactly when it was dropped other than it was sometimes in the la...

This mistake is very baffling because: (a) Menomine...

That station claims to be a CHR/Alternative Hybrid.
Celine Dion is neither, as that song is 30 years old now (recorded in 89, album released in 90).

Are you sure? O.o

Yes! WMOM is an odd station, but it works as it's #1 in its immediate area

From 1987. The song hit number 1 in the UK and was voted the second greatest Bee Gees song of all time! It's virtually unheard of here though and charted very poorly due to the disco backlash. The song is not disco though. It's a Soft Rock/Power Pop tune. It deserved to be H*** here. Such a shame. ...

Heard this rare song on WMOM tonight: Celine Dion - Where Does My Heart Beat Now (Celine's first English hit, hit #4 in 1991) Some other tunes not heard in a while (if ever): Michael W. Smith - Place In This World (#6 in 1991) Shai - If I Ever Fall in Love (#2 behind I Will Always Love You for two m...

It's probably the best signal in Traverse City but it is been bastardized for so long going to be a long hard climb back. They aren't going to win any favor by being 100% Satellite. Did you see how many stations were listed? Dare I say the cost to restore the brand might not be worth it, The best t...

There is benefit to Nexstar keeping WOTV - it'll help ensure WOTV remains affiliated with ABC so that the station can continue to serve as an ever present thorn in WZZM's side, thus benefiting WOOD-TV. Nexstar / Media General / LIN have been successful in foisting WOTV & WXSP on cable systems as a ...

WICA's 3.2 share is impressive considering they have no signal in Cadillac and iffy signals in Gaylord and Manistee (WLMN gets wiped out quite a bit by the 89.7 in Sister Bay, WI). It would be interesting to see how many counties WTCM-FM is #1 among terrestrial radio stations. My best guess would be...

Both all-sports FMs dropped dramatically from their pre-sports ratings levels. 97.3 is now losing to rimshots WIIL and WHAD!

The Lions getting screwed out of a playoff berth in 2017 because of the Atlanta game's ending

Bold new prediction, after both proposed bills failed in the Senate (in fact, the Democratic bill had slightly more support): Trump will do an oval office speech on January 29 (the original SOTU date), where he will announce his resignation. Over this weekend, Pence will meet with congresspeople fro...

When I lived in Ypsilanti, I was able to get occasional pictures from WJBK with an indoor antenna. Then again, I had a third floor apartment facing Southfield. The other Detroits (WDIV, WXYZ, WMYD, WKBD, WTVS, WWJ) would usually come in no problem
