Thanks for that addition. I absolutely second The Razor as a great option. They are usually very easy to hear. The Drive is the norm on 96.9 in all of this area as opposed to LAV (but also not bad); it's extremely potent. And The Q on 94.5 does usually come in well as it's a shoreline station too, t...

You could check out my pages for radio in that area (though the actual page for Silver Lake Dunes won't be online for another week or two yet though all the content is done). There are audio bandscans from both locations that are 1+ hour each with all the usual stations. Hart: http://www.chriskadlec...

does WBBN have any new applications? I assume you mean BBN. I heard WBBN via Es from down south a few days ago. I don't believe any of the big national religious outlets have applications, approvals, or anything from the recent window. They are all small local outlets, though some may be using diff...

This is somewhat old news, but also recent for those not paying close attention. WMPA in Grand Haven switched to Strong Tower Radio on Friday. They mention on their Facebook: ""The fingerprint of God" was on the transfer of the Grand Haven rock station to Strong Tower Radio Tuesday afternoon at 4 p....

I feel like this is to ensure full reception of Smile FM on 102.5. I can imagine there were a few times in the recent past where 102.5 Muskegon was accidentally airing WCSG via its 88.3 Kalamazoo signal It's possible, but keep in mind that Smile on 102.5 is currently getting its programming not fro...

As long as the FCC refuses to expand the FM band and or change the rules concerning second and third adjacents, like Mexico, Central, and South America have done, to move the vast majority of AM stations to FM, we'll see these things happen. If you add up all the 70 dBu translator or Class A servic...

Smile FM really needs to calm the hell down with buying up stations and putting signals on the air. I was always rather critical of them for that practice early on some years back because it's no different from K-Love and other such outlets crowding out diverse content and just replacing it with Jes...

- Sunny 97.3 Reed City: really creepy old-timey hymnal music was playing last Sunday morning on what seemed like an endless loop. Later in the day Sunday, I heard nothing but loud fuzz (akin to a audio on a snowy channel during the analog TV era) every time I stopped by over a span of ten hours. 97...

Wrvm knocks out MOM-FM in Manistee. Almost every morning it’s wrvm blasting in during the summer and sometimes all day. Sure hope they can get a simulcast here soon. Miss listening to them in the morning on the drive in to work. WRVM is a pretty big nuisance here in Fremont as well, both before and...

Yup, no RDS or HD/IBOC in their local coverage area since lightning fried their transmitter. They came on after a few days without the extras. It's easy to hear WPPN and WFON here in Fremont on their adjacents nowadays. I'm liking it. No reason for WOOD to bother with HD for a lousy talk radio stati...

WYBR has a good signal overall compared to others in the Big Rapids area. Here in Fremont, just 25 miles away, 100.9 is spotty - with a bit of elevation (like the 2nd or 3rd floor of a house), it's a strong signal, but at street level on the car radio, it's harder. 100.9 Muskegon on some days eats a...

99.1 flipped to Nash Icon (parallel low-power 97.5 on the Montague water tower) yesterday. Since Nash Icon is still at really low power to the point I can just barely even compare the two 20 miles from its tower, 99.1 fills in a void in 97.5's poor coverage area and gives Muskegon and Grand Haven a ...

I noticed last night here in Fremont that The Ticket (Muskegon) has come on the air on 99.1 finally. I'm not sure if "finally" is the right word, because I was overjoyed when their CP expired this past January, meaning the window for them to go on the air had CLOSED. Yet here they are, signing on in...

Generally got about 60 stations out of the Es event. And this is about the 15th Es event that has wandered through Michigan this season. Last Friday and Saturday were big Es openings for the UP. I was up there on both days and Friday afternoon hit pretty hard and then Saturday afternoon to southern ...

Blah blah blah... Everyone always speculates on who should move what where and who should buy what station. It's all some ideal world based on how radio should be and what WE all want. The station will broadcast religious programming... because that's the reality of the industry. :horns Would you ac...
