Can't recall the frequency or call letters, but I do remember pulling in some AM station from Alabama up in Cheboygan on a clear summer nights. Some oldies station. The local AM 1240 WCBY would typically be picked up through phone lines. The occasional times my dad would do computer updates at night...

Here is what some communities in Northern Michigan carried in 1980 besides WCMU/WCML, WGTU/WGTQ, WPBN/WTOM, and WWTV/WWUP (1980 calls listed): Traverse City had WBAY, WCML, WFRV, WKBD, WLUK, and WZZM Manistee had WBAY, WFRV, WLUK, WMVS, WTMJ, WVTV, and WZZM [but no WCMU] Ludington had WBAY, WFRV, W...

98 1/2?

Here's a 1980 Cheboygan listing from americanradiohistory.com : 2 - CJIC 5 - WTOM 9 - WWUP WGTU, WJRT and WKBD were also carried, as was one of those old-timey real-time weather camera channels that were commonplace on 1970's cable systems. This system only carried a total of seven channels, which ...

Also, both parts of the 9&10 50th are on YouTube now.

Thanks for uploading! Although I'm surprised it was only a half-hour long.

Milk, this stuff all comes from my tape archives. I have the 7&4 and the 9&10(&13) 50th Anniversary specials on hand. I wish the station I've been associated with, WFRV, did a 50th special, but...that would begin with WNAM-TV going dark and the failure of many UHF stations in the 1950s. Anyhow, PM ...

For a time, he also did a late morning shift on Lite 96 following his morning show on KHQ. I am unsure how long that lasted.

I remember that also. Right after Tim Nixon

I haven't heard that name in quite some time!! I remember as a kid calling into KHQ when he hosted mornings.

I didn't see catch the news that morning... damn.

Was there a video of the end of the newscast?

I've been monitoring the new 101.5 overnights over the past couple of days and have to say I think they're really on to something. My audiophile ears give two thumbs up to the processing they're using, and the playlist is an engaging mix of mostly '80s hits with some older and more modern material ...
