Re: FM reception in the southeast part of the US
When I spent a month in Babson Park, FL this past March, I was able to consistently pick up Tampa, Sarasota, Fort Myers, and Orlando, and would occasionally pick up stations from as far away as Key West, the Redneck Riviera, far southern Georgia, and Dothan, AL

Re: The story of Battle Creek television history
WUHQ owes FCC rules for its existence and ABC affiliation. If the WZZM-TV tower wasn't required to be so far from WSPD-TV/WTVG, there wouldn't have been that large area still not covered by ABC. As it is, WZZM-TV is almost like part of the Northwest Michigan/almost Traverse City market, with WPBN a...

Re: Brief observations
Some more today while driving from Manistee to Grand Rapids via Traverse City: - 92.5 WFDX is on and running full power with yacht rock-type songs - A solid number of UP, Wisconsin, and Sunrise Side stations were heard in TC -- UP: 92.3 WJPD, 92.7 WRPP, 93.1 WIMK, 93.9 WNBY, 94.9 WUPZ, 97.9 WIHC, 98...

Re: #TuckLeavin
MSU has both Nebraska and Minnesota on its schedule; those are winnable games. Indiana is very winnable; it took OT for them to beat the friggin' Akron Zips. MSU is a better team than Indiana all day long. Iowa might be a lot crappier than everyone was thinking, too. They just lost 31 - 0 to Penn S...

Brief observations
While driving from Grand Rapids to my parents' house today, I noticed a few things: - Several of the big Northern Michigan signals were listenable along parts of I-96 and US-31, such as 88.5 WIAB, 89.3 WTLI, 96.3 WLXT, 105.1 WGFM, 105.9 WKHQ, and 106.7 WSRT, as well as a handful of Flint/Tri-Cities ...

Re: Nielsen #s for GR radio - some significant movements!
If I were in charge of Townsquare GR:
1. Keep WGRD as is
2. Flip 95.7 to country, keeping Big Joe in mornings. I would play at least 2-3 pre-2010 songs per hour
3. WFGR remains as is
4. 100.5 the River adds a Hot AC lean
5. Magic 104.9 shifts to a near-clone of the Block in Kalamazoo/Battle Creek

Re: Nielsen #s for GR radio - some significant movements!
The Game (which is on a signal that covers the market very well) is almost losing to Jethro FM (which is on a daytimer AM and two translators that don't have the best signals)!

Re: Northern Christian Radio buys WLJN/Good News Media
A $1 sale price??? 😲 There's something more going on here than meets the eye. $1 is a price to indicate that some value changed hands. There's likely some donations going on. The Promise FM will finally have a good signal in TC! For years, they've covered most of northern Michigan well with the exc...

Re: Relevant Radio expanding into Dayton-Cincinnati
What's sad is the Oasis had developed a pretty loyal following in the Cincy and especially Dayton markets. In the beauty pageant 12+ numbers in Dayton, it was ahead of 92.9, 95.3, 101.5, 103.9 and perhaps others. Dayton has already lost 94.5 & 106.5 to niche programming in the past few years; now i...

Re: Smash Mouth Steve Harwell dies
Not long after the announcement of his death came out yesterday, I heard WIXX spin at least two of Smash Mouth's songs in a row. Many other stations likely wouldn't have adjusted their playlists until this morning.

Re: August 16-22 Tropo Summary
That is impressive! The best I was able to do in the RF hell that is my basement room in Grand Rapids was WCKY from Toledo and a handful of northern Michigan stations (WGFM, WSRT, WJZQ, WKLT, WCCW, and WGFE in addition to the much more common WTCM/WIAA/WOLW). Since WGVU turned off HD Radio a few mon...

96.1 the Game (50kW full market signal) is almost losing to Jethro FM (which is on a daytimer AM with two subpar translators)!
