13 has been a mess since Price Communications bought it years ago. It never recovered from the great West Michigan Telecasters days. Revolving door.
I hope Bob Price is roasting in hell.

Re: A 50,000 watt FM station shouldn't be a waist

After all long before Cumulus radio came to MI 107,3 was "The Country Giant" WPLB-FM in Greenville before Bob Goodrich bought it, moved it to Grand Rapids, flipped it to Oldies and then sold it to the chain that eventually was bought by Cumulus. When I worked for Bob at WPRR, he told me that he mad...

Re: WOODTV Meteorologist/Weather Producer (part-time)

My understanding is that the Storm Team 8 office has their five on air talents, a couple of part timers that never see air time, and a couple of interns. Probably one of their part timers got hired full time in another market.

Pepperhead Farms Dismembers parody spot

Does anyone have the old Pepperhead Farms Dismembers parody spots that used to air on morning shows many years ago? I would love to have a copy of them. They were hilarious.

Thanks.

I’m late for this one. Never met Michael but I always enjoyed listening to him on air. I did work with his wife Jackie at WOOD TV. Condolences to her and the family.

Re: Ellen Bacca named first female Chief Meteorologist in West Michigan

The word "chief" is offensive and disrespectful to Native Americans. She should be called the "Main Meteorologist." I had to laugh a little. This reminds me of Turner Broadcasting in the late 80 and into the 90s issued an edict to all divisions that the word “foreign” was not to be used on air. In ...

I haven’t seen Shanna on WZZM in a couple of weeks and the link to her bio on the station website is gone. Any idea what happened to her?
