Re: 97.1 Mornings...

Jamie came on (from home) today to announce he's been battling colon cancer since January 2019. He sounds so wiped out. I thought maybe he had COVID-19. Jamie is a really good guy, I hope he recovers from this.

Re: Rico Beard Joins Mike Valenti On 97.1 The Ticket, Sullivan Leaving

I'm genuinely curious, Craig. What makes you think that about him? Listening to him interact with Terry Foster for years, Tony Ortiz and the studio guy named David somebody I think. It's nothing I can pinpoint and I'm not accusing him just wondering out loud. But I didn't realize this Rico guy is a...

Re: The "New" Mike Valenti Show on 97.1

Not a fan. Jeez, if the only qualification was skin color I'd rather they went with Chapman. https://media2.giphy.com/media/l0MYEwLJpJApzhkje/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e476q8nm1be1180v3b31e9rsuyfvbkw0ovpmoaeghb2&rid=giphy.gif I never said that the only qualification or that was the reason he was hired.

Re: The "New" Mike Valenti Show on 97.1

How you can have a sports station on the air in the city of Detroit with NO black hosts? Am I missing something about Rico? No, it's just the station has not had a 6a - 12m black host since Terry Foster left - what, 3 years ago? And they really only had 1 since then - in the overnight with Brian Ch...

Re: The "New" Mike Valenti Show on 97.1

The professional players get paid, they have unions to represent them. These college players don't have those protections - and that's why we won't have college football in the Fall this year. We could have it in the Spring, but that's rather doubtful too. Thanks to inaction by our President and the...

Re: The "New" Mike Valenti Show on 97.1

I'm tired of his rant's,when he starts blaming the President for the Covid virus I just turn off the radio. He thinks he has to be contraversial to be listened too,so wrong. Well maybe if the President had actually done something instead of lie and try to cast blame on everyone but him, we could be...

Re: 97.1

Well this is the time they usually use for a lot of their vacation days anyway. They rarely take vacation time during footoball season, so I don't know if this would be the day to say "Stoney's on vacation........uh oh". A lot of people take an extra day or two around a weekend holiday. That's fair...

Re: 97.1

Oh how the mighty have fallen... I disagree with you there. I think that station has handled this whole pandemic situation very very well. Can't be easy with no current sports going on. It's not the station, it's the station owner. Never underestimate Entercom's ability to fuck up something good.

Re: 97.1

Yesterday afternoon, the station was airing an Ernie Harwell-era broadcast from the 80's with horrendously poor audio quality. Swear I thought it was a game from the early 60s! Where in the hell did they pull that audio from!? I have cassettes from that era that probably sounded better than that.

Re: 97.1

What I expect is Entercom to fire 75% of it's air talent in Detroit across the board, including WWJ, which will start broadcasting national news in all dayparts except mornings and afternoons, with part timers cutting in for Traffic and Weather. Expect 97.1 to air national syndication 10am - 2pm and...

Re: Detroit Protests coverage

What amazes me is the PD seems very focused on the person who busted out the windows of the police cruiser ("we know who you are, and we will find you"), but what about the fucking person who shot into the crowd and killed a 19-year old? Isn't that a little more important?!?! Dozens upon dozens of ...
