Re: Weekend Radio Shows

Don't know if this would apply to Detroit or not, but I'm kind of partial to Eddies Caravan. Doo-Wop and Soul hits of the 50's and 60's on AM 1600 WAAM out of Ann Arbor. Saturday nights from I Believe 6-8 PM.

Re: Grand Rapids September Ratings

While what you say is true. All of those stations with the exception of LAV has been operating on those same towers for years and 2 of them had years where they were quite dominant in the Grand Rapids ratings. Especially when 101.3 was WCUZ in the 80's and 94.5 as WKLQ in the late 80's into the mid ...

Re: WXMI Fox 17 Job opening for Meteorologist.

I was watching 17 over the weekend and Laura announced she was leaving the station and thanked West Michigan for inviting her into their lives.

Re: Banks to be Required to Track Accounts Greater than $600

Time to start hiding our savings under our mattresses again. Interest rate under the mattress is about the same as the banks pay today.

Anybody home at 1680

Does anybody from this operation actually ever listen to their own radio stations. 1680 has had nothing but dead air for at least a couple of weeks now. This is not the first time this has happened with 1680. Their translator at 102.5 is still on the air with modulation. Is it legal for the translat...

Pirate on 87.9 Grand Rapids

Anybody else hearing what I'm hearing on 87.9 in the Grand Rapids area. Spanish Music/Language station on 87.9. Strong enough to stop on the seek button on the Northeast side of town. I was up in Sand Lake last week and could hear it up there too, but pretty weak by that point.

Re: Detroit Lions 2021

Allowing a team to convert a 4th and 19 from deep in their own territory with just a few seconds left in the game also came back to bite them in the ass.

Re: Super Q - Whitehall in the late 70's.

Very accurate description of the last days of Super Q as I knew it. After that fire it was on to bigger and better things. Thanks for the memories.

Re: Michael Sirianni

I know that Michael hasn't been doing well for quite some time, but reading Steve's post this morning still hit me like a ton of bricks. Michael was the ultimate professional and a really nice guy too. Michael was as close to being a radio star as you could be in Grand Rapids, but you would never kn...

Re: Super Q - Whitehall in the late 70's.

I was long gone before it was ZZR. By that time I was working at GRD. As for John Barry, I worked with John at Super Q in 77-78. Our paths crossed again at WLAV in 1979. I last saw John about 5 years ago at a radio luncheon in GR. He is alive and well, but no longer working in the radio business.

Re: Super Q - Whitehall in the late 70's.

That is correct, Jim Curcuru (aka The Q Man) did mornings for awhile and also worked at MUS. He moved from on air to sales at Super Q and I believe he was involved mostly in sales at MUS also.

Re: Super Q - Whitehall in the late 70's.

Super Q in Whitehall. I know lots about Super Q in Whitehall. I was the program director there from 1974-78. We had a tight sounding little station with lots of talented on air people. Including the aformentioned John Alan who did the evening shift and was also the Chief engineer. Daniel Boone aka D...
