Yes - WCXI 1160 and WPON 1460 share a site in Milford Twp., near Walled Lake.

Just turn in the license. Take...

Re: 2022 Predictions
At least 2 Detroit AM stations go off the air permanently. Do you wish to clarify further as to which two specific stations you believe will shut down. Obviously you have two in mind. If you don't want to spell out the two stations at least explain the reason or reasons why you believe they will "g...

Re: 2022 Predictions
I don’t know why I’m doing this, but here it goes: At least 2 Detroit AM stations go off the air permanently. There will be an unexpected, major talent blood-letting, resulting in said Detroit radio company’s stations having absolutely no live, local on-air talent whatsoever. Detroit radio will cont...

Re: 1480 & 850 Shutting Down
Someone at GV has decided that “the great experiment” is over. The justification was well-thought out and well-written. I do not completely agree with some of the statements. However, I wonder if there was anyone to champion keeping the stations on the air? 1480 would have made a reasonable student-...

Re: Will WJR Soon Drop Talk For All News?
WJR will never switch to all news. Period. The goal would have to be to surpass/pummel/take-down WWJ. #2 ranking would not be good enough for WJR to get any agency buys. To succeed, it would take a $ignificant inve$tment in talent and marketing. None of which Cumulus is in position to accomplish suc...

Re: Where to get Fox Sports Detroit?
Sinclair seems to be taking a backward-ass approach to all this. Did Sinclair terminate FSD carriage on YTTV, Hulu and other streaming services or was it the other way around? Streaming customers are peeved for good reason. The NHL/regional coverage/local team TV is a FAIL. Forcing a particular plat...

105.5 fm Ave Maria Radio
Stumbled across a new translator. Rebroadcast of WDEO/Ypsi
Looked it up: 99 watts at 282 feet above ground, on the WKBD tower.
Can’t tell when it went on the air, maybe in the last couple weeks?

Re: RIP 89X
Just throwing in my opinions for a loonie: AM 800 talk format goes to FM. No music royalties. Can turn off or sell AM 800. Staff already in place. AM 580 goes off the air permanently. I was going to predict the oldies format goes to the other remaining FM frequency; but after seeing Charlie O’Brien’...

Re: How bad has SXM and livestream/podcasting hurt trad radio?
I have no hard numbers, just anecdotes, to consider. My teenage daughter is aware of radio, but uses her own money for a Spotify premium service. She is aware of and uses SXM in the car. No radio usage. My wife has a radio in the bathroom and listens to NPR while getting ready for work. In the car, ...

Re: Curious about this board's demographics
Yes. Started professionally in ‘85. Left the biz in 2008 to raise a family full time. New career in 2016. Miss the good radio stuff. Don’t miss the drama, arrogance and crap.

SCA Detroit stations
Just curious:
Is any station in Metro Detroit still broadcasting content using SCA subcarriers?
I can’t recall if WDET used to have Radio Talking Book services back in the day.
Don’t have a receiver to check.

Re: Bottle Returns Resuming
The Michigan bottle return law has been the bane of the Michigan (Aka Soft Drink) Bottlers Association, the Michigan Retailers Association and the Michigan Grocers Association, since it was enacted. Not shocked at all that bottle return was suspended. At first, ‘modern medicine’ thought surfaces to ...
