Re: JIM PRICE STINKS!!!

Let's hope for someone talented, unique, younger, and maybe, even funny. Maybe, Brandon Inge, or Joel Zumaya. Zumaya would be great for the Hispanic crowd, who historically are great baseball fans.

Re: Lima's 940 WCIT Drops Sports

Adding to my post...I recall the owner was named Rice or Riggs, I don't recall. But, he had zero creativity. Both stations were bad. But, Lima only had four station back then. WCIT/WLSR? and WIMA-AM/FM. So, it wasn't hard to make money.

Re: IHeart Outages

Amazing major market stations don't have backup generators, and probably not a full-time engineering staff.

Yep, I remember Bohannon briefly on 1270. But, it was ever so briefly. Also, does anybody remember that the only place King could get cleared on was AM1310? King was King of the World talk show-wise. He was on 50,000 waters all over the country. But, had a hard time clearing Detroit!

Yep, he substituted for King for years. Then, he inherited the job. Hail! The Mutual Broadcasting System! "The feeling is Mutual."

Re: Local Radio Newscasts - Terrible!

Last week, in the local paper, News or Free Press, there was an article about the late Lee Iacocca. There was a picture attached to the article, showing Iacocca speaking to the press. Ven Marshall was on reporter holding a Circle 7 microphone. The other microphone was a WCXI radio mike. Two things: ...

Re: Big changes in just released June ratings survey; WJR hits all-time record low

Hey, I would love to hear Jim Bohannon in Detroit. He skews slightly to the right. But, he has a newsman's sense of fairness. On my way home at night, I have to listen to him on KDKA, which fades in and out. Strangely, I don't ever recall Bohannon being cleared in Detroit. I wonder why?

Re: 106.5 Toledo

Regarding 98.3, I worked there, briefly back in the mid-80s, and it was a tough sell. Monroe is caught between Detroit and Toledo. Back then, Monroe-based businesses didn't support the station very well. The decision makers didn't understand or use radio. They would advertise in the Monroe newspaper...
