"This one ended up being, look how awesome we are now..."

I wouldn't use the word "awesome" to describe their ratings and talent, that's for damn sure.

Slightly off topic, but I noticed on LinkedIn that Brooke Allen is no longer a WWJ news anchor. Anyone know what happened?

Nailed it.

If true, how long before his big mouth makes him lose his job again?

In a more recent article, John chronicled the mass exodus of talent from the Cincinnati market. That makes me wonder how the ratings have changed. On a larger scale, it seems that since the pandemic, local stations and their owners have essentially stopped publishing local news ratings during sweeps...

Bye, Felicia!

Whoever does the voiceovers on 105.3 Hot FM is fucking awful. A puker who should've been left in the 90s. The VO work screams the elderly are in charge. Dump the Lori Vennis strategy. It hasn't worked in the past few years, why keep it after she's been canned twice by the company? The sh*tcanned Cu...

Scroll through the posts on their Facebook page this week and see how many times they misspelled "Just Announced." It's sad and laughable at the same time.

The dream cruise is stupid. A bunch of people sitting in chairs watching cars drive down the street.

This comment should be framed and hung up on every wall in Metro Detroit.

I'll happily offer all of my walls. And for the record, this year's Telegraph Cruise was just as stupid.

She'll come in, not do anything spectacular, then be shipped out to Grand Rapids to mess things up. We've read this story before.

Lorna and Pascoe both know the area well and do fine work. Conversely, none of the TV traffic people thrill me. You can throw Jim Daniels from WWJ in that club, too. Is he still mumbling his way through reports on 950?

Seems to me handing him the keys of a venerable station such as WLAV might be a bad idea.

I'd bet on it. I'm sure they haven't learned from the disaster they pushed out the door last month.

WLEN can teach a master class on how to be a successful radio station. They haven't won MAB's Small Market Station of the Year Award multiple times for nothing.

The only thing that surprises me about this is that it took the suits this long to pull the trigger.

Does anyone actually have an answer to the question, or will all of you geography majors continue to flash your diplomas?
