Re: Michigan needs to act faster to combat distracted driving "crisis"
The distracted driving laws are already on the books. So, tell me how already over-extended law enforcement departments are supposed to find time to enforce THESE laws to make a difference?

Re: WJR shits the bed again...this time with a 2.2 share!
Yea, I really hate to be a pile-on. This is a really depressing thread. Sadly, there is a lot of truth. WJR (and the AM band) is unsalvageable. I don’t know of one person that listens to AM, let alone radio in general. I’m in my mid-50s. I solely rely upon my smartphone for weather, traffic, local g...

Re: SXM CH 69 Escape
I gave up on SXM Escape. Too many plastic productions, synthesized recordings. Maybe it has changed. May I suggest Music Choice Easy Listening? They have an app, so you can be mobile and still listen. The selections are better quality and more “lush”. I am constantly surprised at the great versions ...

WNZK needs to give Crystal the entire morning show 6-10 time slot, It would be good for Miss Mayo and WNZK, They need to market her show, They could get a small amount of ad revenue.

Re: The "personality" of radio stations
IMHO, the personality aspect took a hit when PPM came to Detroit. Seeing listeners tuning out in real time scared the hell outta Management. Reaction? Shut the jocks up. It never recovered. Second place: digital platforms. Took people-power away from making a solid analog station. (Do more with less...

Re: Lone Ranger on WXYZ-AM
I think, but I am not 100% sure. I would have to reference Dick Osgood’s Wxyie Wonderland book.
It ran from 1933-1954 according to a piece that ran on Michigan Radio today.

Re: Turn DOWN your thermostat! Really?!
No, the lawyers aren’t drooling...it’s the accountants. DTE can charge significantly more per kWh providing power to the grid (that goes to “the market”) than directly to their customers in their primary service area. So, if we use less, that “saved power” is put on the grid and sold for more. It’s ...

Re: Crooked Detroit news media give preferential treatment to DMC?
Border: I get it. My point in the second half of my post was the Metro Detroit region. For example, if those reporters from The Detroit Free Press (M.L. Elrick & Jim Schaefer) were covering say the best Coney restaurants in town, instead of investigating Kwame Kilpatrick, what media outlet would hav...
