And still, technically NONE (except for WCMV) of them will reach Manistee. Unless you have a really good antenna

I can't, for the life of me, think of a single reason why anyone would want to purposefully insert themselves into the economic quagmire that is Manistee. Hell, even Duluth would be less cold and inhospitable. I've lived in Manistee 5 years now. Not the most ideal place, but not terrible. I've been...

Correct. Appears to be owned by the same as Eagle in Gaylord. But not simulcast with Gaylord.

Main mailing address is Gaylord.

I'll try to re-post Cheboygan from early-mid 90s. At the time was TCI. I usually mix something up or forget something each time I do this from memory.

I don't know where the new guy is from. It is reported that he went to CMU as his college education.

Well CMU is fairly typical of those in the Tri-Cities and Northern MI markets.

I think many stations will end up attempting to up power (mainly to improve signal in the outer reaches of their markets)

I wish that would happen in the Northern MI market to cover what was lost. But sadly, not exactly going to help certain areas. And the translators are still crap.

I was going to say 'asinine' but then I'd be pointing fingers

Good Lord... this thread is insane...

CMU has something weird with the signals on WCMW and WCMV. I live in Manistee, which isn't fair from WCMW tower. I can't get the signal from WCMW. However, I can get WCMV with nearly 50% strength. Drive 17 miles to my Uncle's house in Wellston. He picks up WCMW with a near 80% signal, can't get WCMV...

Did WGTU use WZZM's feed for a time? Or did they pull from WJRT?

Agreed. Maybe I should revisit KLT. It's been a while since I've tuned it. Nothing against Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, or Foghat but I don't wanna keep hearing that. I think they should delve into more 80's hair bands as that is kinda the "new" classic rock. Then what do we call the "old" classic rock?

As an example of a station that was entirely sat-fed with "Coast FM" branding, 97.7 WMLQ in Manistee, after that was made a simulcast of 98.7 WLDN Ludington, moved "Coast FM" to 101.5 WMTE in Manistee. While it is still mostly sat-fed, there is now a local morning show during the week from 6 AM - 9 ...

The * channels were premium channels which we didn't pay for, but I remember a trick for mostly getting rid of the scrambling - put our TV on channel 4 instead of channel 3, and while that put all the channel numbers off by 1 on the converter box, with perfect fine-tuning on the converter box and o...

Yes, they still have transmitters there. It's like a time capsule without the camera equipment and news set. Desks and studio are still there. The studios were used there until 1972 when they were consolidated over to TC. I was just surprised someone was actually there. I have never seen a car ther...
