Re: Bands everyone likes but you

I am very picky with my musical tastes but I'll sit through a lot of stuff I don't necessarily like, but these ones will prompt me to turn off the radio:

In no particular order:
Adele
Ed Sheeran
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Kid Rock
Mariah Carey
U2
Guns 'N Roses
The Rolling Stones
Joni Mitchell

Re: Change Your Password

Insane according to whose standards?

Jokes aside, are you suggesting somebody hacked your password and began posting under your user name? What makes you come to this conclusion that passwords were hacked?

Re: Brother Stair Passes

I remember when I was a younger teenager in the 90's who had just stumbled across a shortwave radio, I came across The Overcomer Ministry late at night. At first, I thought this was a robot voice. I also remember listening late at night, and the house was dead silent except for my radio, after Broth...

Re: Lahser Road

I once saw a brand new Lahser street sign at Outer Drive in Detroit a few years ago. It was spelled Lasher. I contacted Detroit through their app and the sign was replaced within a couple days.

DST for me. The more daylight after work ends, the better.

Re: Greg Bowman

I'm not sure that any company can simply "decide" to bring someone out of retirement without the retiree's willingness, but I also agree that he is a welcome, familiar voice. Aside from Tom Jordan, who is missing at WWJ that he may be filling in for?

I saw LOL101 on Twitter a few weeks ago making "gay" comments about media. Repeatedly, in same fashion.

Re: I Am Your Governor...

I used to work in retail. I have on many occasions received phone calls from customers pretending to be somebody else if they thought it would mean they would potentially receive special treatment. Even if this story is true as told, until I see the face of the person on the phone, I don't believe t...

Re: Ken Jennings as Jeopardy! Host

I'm sorry, but I cannot get over Ken Jennings' raspy voice. He doesn't have the voice or the personality for this role. Similar sentiments were conveyed when Drew Carey replaced the late Bob Barker on The Price Is Right back in 2007. Like that show, Jeopardy! is such an institution that I believe s...

Re: Where's Art Bell When You Need Him?

George Noory has turned boring and nutty. The alternative medicine peddling, political conspiracies, poor interviews, and all the nonsense was making C2CAM unlistenable for me. I'm not opposed to a little craziness, that's the essence of the show, but this became too out in left field for me. I used...

Re: Will WJR Soon Drop Talk For All News?

Talk, news, politics, sports, music, etc etc etc. Same tired formats. Radio hasn't seen new programming concepts since television knocked it to a new purpose. I'd like to see radio evolve and recapture growing audiences with new programming concepts, rather than the continuously-recycled, cost-effec...

Re: Frank Beckmann to retire from WJR

I wish him well in retirement. That length of time on the same station is quite an accomplishment, and I know he had many loyal listeners. I stopped listening a long time ago when the politics seemed to move further away from my views and I couldn't relate. Any speculation on if this announcement is...

Also, R.I.P. 98.7 The Breeze, I loved their JAM jingles.
I have HD radio in my car, so I listen to WNIC-HD2. I am pretty sure WNIC's "Sunny Radio" and The Breeze had the identical jingles.
