I never had the pleasure of meeting Mel, but I remember hearing ...

Re: How WMAX-FM 96.1 Ended Up So Close To WLHT 95.7
When 95.7 first went on the air in 1962 (with the call sign of WKLW), I believe they were 7,100 watts. WZZM bought the station in the summer of 1967 and upgraded the signal to 50,000 watts in 1968. At that time their studios were on the 2nd floor of the Sackner Products building in the 900 block of ...

Re: Michigan sign stealing scandal
I think Harbaugh may change his job title to "Head Coach Las Vegas Raiders."

Re: Christmas Is Here
I worked at 105.7 in 1997-99. In 1998 Skip Essick returned as General Manager and he hated the EZ105.7 moniker. The program director Stan Atkinson loved it for some reason or other. Stan left later in 1998, but it took some time for Skip to actually make that change. It lasted through at least 2 mor...

Keep on posting Turkey. It's refreshing for me to see posts from somebody who seems to be technically more challenged than I am. But just barely : )

Re: Will you pay more?
That is true. I still pay AT&t $118 per month at the main residence (partly due to the fact that I still have a land line) and $79.99 a month for internet at the lake house. Still paying a lot less than when I had AT&T at home and Charter up at the lake for cable tv.

Re: Will you pay more?
I got rid of cable tv altogether at both our main residence and lake residence. I was paying almost $500 per month to have cable at both places. Now use You Tube TV that costs 72.99 per month and I have access to it at that price at both residences. I doubt I'll ever go back to a cable TV service, e...

They have been been doing a classic country format on 1380/101.9 since around mid July.

Re: WLAV's Rob Brandt Heading To iHeartMedia
Yup, September 30, 1974 to be exact. At this time in 1973 LAV-FM was still an automated oldies format. So in reality next year is their 50th anniversary as an AOR/Classic Rock station.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
The NFL still has to do some work on their OT rules. For only 1 team to get the ball in overtime, even if they did score a touchdown is bogus. Both teams NEED to have at least 1 possession. Still having games decided by who wins the coin toss in overtime is unacceptable.

Re: 100.5 The River on low power
I was up in Fremont today and scanning the FM band and noticed the River was missing in action. Got back to our place in Newaygo and can't hear it here either. I thought they may have been off the air. I'll have to check the signal when we return to GR either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Re: I'm Out of Beer...
They still call it the New Big 101.3, but it's been in it's current format (Classic Hits/Oldies) since October of 2020.

Re: U.S.P.S. warning users against sending checks through the mail
I just happily made my twice a month sojourn to the post office. Being fully retired, it's one of the highlights in my life. In a few days my mortgage company, utilities and my kids college loan processors will all be happy campers. : )
