when the Ticket's ratings are even lower? No. Cumulus has put ZERO effort into that station since they got rid of Norm Wamer years ago. It's only there so Mike Greenberg blathering about the Jets and Lakers clears in X number of markets, and because the other formats on 100.7 (syndicated talk and th...

We're a long time off from the late 1980s and 1990s, Einstein.

why do people on this board think every market needs like 11 sports stations? if they didn't do that when WJR actually had the Lions rights a few years ago it's not happening.

Yeah, but it's not like Fox Sports Radio's nighttime shows that they were airing before were any better, and much of the year they're airing either the Mud Hens or Walleye at night anyway.

I got a set of Ron's sheets from when he stayed at the Viking Motel in 1988 after his failed interview with Matt Nokes! Greatest gift ever.

yeah, that song sucks.

I'll nominate D'yer Maker by Led Zeppelin. Their worst song ever, including the dreck from the Coda album, on an otherwise great album.

have any of you actually touched Ron? I hear you get a jolt like hooking a car battery up to your nipples

Oh, no. WIOT is slipping. Better add more Boston and Styx! do they even play any Styx besides "Renegade" anymore? Boston, though..."More Than a Feeling" is one of those songs where it's possible IOT, XKR and RQN have all played it at the same time at one point lol Guess Boob & Tom plus tracked Scot...

The Zone version 17 WOULD get lower ratings than WCWA.

at least they're still beating WCWA!

for now lol

Even *I* could've secured that ball for a TD!

plenty of people talk about how QB play has declined over the past few years but WRs have dropped off as well.

Fucking Packers defense couldn't stop Karen Carpenter from going to a buffet.

Merry Christmas!

so then I'd guess they'd have to syndicate the games to stations in Toledo, GR, Flint, etc. where 20 and 50 aren't available, and the games would most likely air on subchannels in those markets. At least until if/when MLB ever lifts the stupid regional blackouts on its TV packages.

It was 2013-14. They were playing "Royals" by Lorde literally like three times an hour along with shit like Gotye, Hozier, Passion Pit and Gnarls Barkley. And it didn't really stop until one of the mercy killings when 1470 was shut down and the terrible syndicated talk shows moved to 100.7 a couple ...

Ultimately the Zone in all of its incarnations failed and was killed off for an ESPN Radio clearinghouse on not one but two signals. And when it was at its "peak" the playlist was half 90s alternative. They'd play liners saying "support the new music revolution!" into Man In The Box or Evenflow, in ...
