Re: Iheart Disloctation
"dislocation"... who's the "proud" PR asshat that came up with that??? Horrible day. It's my understanding all (most) jock bios removed from iheart websites. Morning show bios remain. YMMV I have confirmation that all but one gone from WAKS/CLE https://radioinsight.com/headlines/183270/ongoing-list-...

Re: The End of 107.3 The Wave Cleveland
They've been all Christmas since Thanksgiving Day at earliest. Mainly Smooth Jazz cuts, which for me is a refreshing change from hearing Band Aid every 90 minutes on WDOK or WMJI. Hoping for a Soft AC as WDOK is very hot as far as mainstream AC goes and seems to overlap with their sister station Q1...

Re: Uncensored music on 94.5 WXKR
I absolutely hate it when commercial radio station butcher song lyrics to edit out curse words. The prior method (pre-Janet Jackson's titty) of bleeping out a small portion of the word was fine. Now, we get to endure weird sound effects or awkward alternate lyrics. So, in closing, I'd like to say: ...

Re: Uncensored music on 94.5 WXKR
For decades, WMMS played Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain at 1:30am on Sunday morning. Then WNCX picked up on that tradition in the late 1980s, playing it at 11:50pm every Saturday night, which continues to this day. So, they actually play Maggot Brain every day at the exact same time? That's just weird! ...

Re: Bob & Tom done in northwest Indiana
Yet somehow both Bob and Tom are in the National Radio Hall of Fame and are gazillonaires.

Re: No more 60s on WMJI Cleveland?
Live 365 has affordable payment tiers. But the problem with 'net radio is monetizing it. And with Live 365 you can't air commercials. But that's where pre-roll on a custom app comes in, and banner ads.

Re: New Rock Station in Indianapolis
I am stunned by how far Q104's ratings have sunk. What happened to that station?!?! They used to be a solid 5 or even 5.5 share radio station each & every book. The Cleveland FM dial is garbage (although Pittsburgh's is worse). I'd like to see 100.7 converted to a full-time simulcast of WTAM. All t...

Re: New Rock Station in Indianapolis
Cleveland needs a kickass rocker next................ Agreed. Cleveland has long needed a rock station other than classic rock WNCX, which does very well. WMMS isn't really a rock station. They're a hot talk that fills middays with music, nights too when no Indians or Cavs. iHeart does have the Alt...
