98.7 did nab the Tigers away from iHeart: https://sportsradio987.com/detroit-tige ... adio-2026/

Per the imaging that they're running, the move of Alt2K to 27 is only temporary.

It's just the national TSQ classic hits log. The music matches WSHK in New Hampshire. 102.5 in Ft Collins also uses the same log, but there's a timezone difference between them and WTRV.

If Midwest wants to eliminate the overlap between Jack FM and 92.5, perhaps they'll move The Touch to 92.5?

Interesting. It looks as if FOX offered zero coverage to its affiliates then. Good move on WXMI's part. It looks like Fox did offer coverage, but it was up to the affiliate regarding whether or not to break away from the MLB coverage. https://awfulannouncing.com/fox/mlb-coverage-donald-trump ...

I don't see Cumulus spending the money necessary to make a spoken word format successful. A station that just passes through syndicated programming isn't going to generate much in the way of results. What they should do is swap the formats of 94.5 and 107.3. The Country format did pretty well before ...

Regardless of the hub, one would think that WOOD would still have an NBC downlink in GR that they could use as a backup if needed.

I realize that this costs money, but a company as big as Nexstar should be able to afford it.

I also was unaware Mr. Sparks was hired for 105.3. Is Broadway no longer tracking for 105.3? Anyway, he should be a much better PD than Bennett. (I hope she isn't returning to WDVD.)

Broadway is no longer tracking for 105.3. Rob took his place in afternoon drive.

Here's how Cumulus distributed the PD duties post Lori's exit (per the station websites):

Rob Sparks (who joined 105.3 earlier this year to host afternoons after his exit from WLHT): PD of WHTS and WKLQ
Gregg Henson: PD of WLAV, WTNR, and WJRW

WVFM's weekday airshifts were all voicetracked from out of market or syndicated (Kim Carson has been gone for at-least a couple of months now), therefore I don't think any jobs were lost as a direct result of this flip.

WLMI is teasing a format flip on Friday at Noon on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/22973984417555 ... 613019669/

He's been at WMU since 2014: https://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/20 ... s_new.html

As far as I remember, he went directly from WKFR to WMU.

Another interesting Townsquare GR item: Doug Montgomery (I assume that it is the same guy that was at iHeart/CC for a number of years) is now PD of WLHT: https://mix957gr.com/help/

A bit odd that there was no press release about this hire.

Are they actually using the GVSU site? Anyone in Ottawa County know? If they are indeed using it - your signal should be good (western Ottawa County) or phenomenal (eastern Ottawa County). I'll find out for myself tomorrow, as I'll be driving to G.R. Pretty sure that they have to be since the STA ...

Cumulus has filed to extend WLAV's STA to operate from the WGVU-TV site for another 180 days: https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101803350&qnum=5230&copynum=1&exhcnum=1 The extension request also notes that they are currently preparing an application for a new ...
