Re: Alpha Media Saginaw
I wonder if a sale of some of their smaller market stations (even at a loss) is coming

Re: Look at all the FCC silent notifications in N. Michigan...
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...

Re: Look at all the FCC silent notifications in N. Michigan...
I wonder if Mr. Yob will bother to get 1110 and 1210 back on-air before they expire? 1210 sits on an old landfill. That can't be good for resale. 1210 is slightly more valuable because it has the translator attached to it Yep. VERY slightly :smokin That value advantage would disappear if an FM tran...

Heck, 106.5 Jack FM plays more 90s alternative than LAV or even GRD!

I've worked within a few miles of WPRR-FM's tower for the last three years and I don't think I've ever heard it on

Re: Open Letter to The Grateful Dead Station
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. Coll...

Re: Debate in TC?
Aren't debates often a collaboration between multiple media members? If that is the case, 9&10, the Record-Eagle, and IPR might be collaborating.

Re: Rewind: Vintage 1980 NewsCenter 8 WOTV Newscast
That Walgreens was nasty; not surprised at all it closed. The sleazy motels and hotels along 28th St are a major detriment. I was in it once and it was nasty. I've never been in the ones at 44th and Division and 28th and Kalamazoo, but those look nicer from the outside (especially 28th and Kalamazo...

Smith-Groen Lumber at 2850 S. Division was known as Erb Lumber during my youth. That stretch of S. Division is loaded with Latino businesses these days, including that very same property. Plenty of taco stands to be had (literally). Are there still used car lots galore, or are those largely gone no...

One prediction is that WJMN adds ABC and CW to its subchannel lineup.

Re: Seattle gets two new country music stations on the same day!!! (No joke.)
98.9 was under a 1 share in Seattle (not good for a full Class C signal) and was getting beat by noncom AAA stations with weaker signals.

Re: Eric Zane to (or at?) Q100...
WQON is underpowered for a C1 at 60kW with a HAAT of 131 meters. I'm surprised nobody over the last 20 years or so has attempted to get them up to 100kW: https://fccdata.org/?lang=en&facid=2308 ... 3ebeb7&i=2

89.9/107.9 have apparently shifted to a praise and worship format: https://www.promisefm.com/promiseblog/b ... -new-thingMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 7:32 amThanks for the info.
It's interesting that 89.9 is still being run as its own brand.
