And to think, The Bounce DEBUT at #1 and was not only the talk of Detroit with every TV and newspaper doing stories about the format, but the entire industry! It has turned out to be one of the biggest tank jobs in the history of radio. Not saying they could have maintained those incredible numbers,...

If they would have done this in 2002 instead of 2021 it might be a story. Other than the brand manager at MWC having a CHR background that could help, my guess is that it’ll be two watered down top 40’s with mediocre content playing the same songs in power over and over. In a two book market against...

Say what you want about Limbaugh, but the revenue Premiere/iheart is going to lose with his passing will be significant.

This best of Rush stuff is going to get old quick and there is not a voice in the format that can pull anywhere close to his numbers.

MWC flipping 96.5 to CHR at this point would be a total waste of time and 15 years too late.

Only five months in market #184? Hope he didn’t sign a one year lease.

Only thing left to wonder is which lame ass, canned, air talent kid; syndicated and broadcasting on 50 radio stations from his/her bathroom in Duluth, Townsquare will add to his/her list of markets and stations they don’t give a shit about. Their instructions will be to just make sure you don’t say ...

I don’t see a problem with RDS being stuck on Justin since every other song they play is actually from Justin.

Morning radio and radio in general in GR in the 90’s was as competitive as any major market. Lots of quality talent and programming. If you were #1 at any point in any day-part or demo you earned it. Lots of shit talking too...hehe.

It’s nice to see you guys wax nostalgic about the good old days of radio, but you are delusional if you think any local air talent would “crush” any major syndicated radio show, or that a “local” (whatever that is nowadays) well run station can kill a heavily syndicated stick. Listening habits and e...

Eventually Reese you’ll come to the realization that radio is dead. They are subtracting not adding. For those that have survived this long, be prepared, It’s just a matter of time before your number is called. Mention radio to any savvy investor and they’ll laugh in your face. The audience/listener...

The 3 music stations Lite, SNX, and Hot are definitely struggling. SNX has lost its identity, Hot never had an identity, and Lite is caught in a bad music cycle in which they don’t “own” any records. Flipping around to all 3 stations and hearing the same Justin Bieber song in a quarter-hour is tirin...

Cumulus Sues Former WDRQ/Detroit Host Krissy T Over New Job At Online Station January 5, 2021 at 5:13 AM (PT) “CUMULUS MEDIA is suing a former host at Country WDRQ (NEW COUNTRY 93.1 FM)/DETROIT and her new employer for violation of her noncompete clause and the terms of a release negotiated by the p...

Some of you act like flipping a radio station is as easy as flipping pancakes. It’s a very costly and risky endeavor. And as we have witnessed over and over again in this market, if done haphazardly it’ll end up being a dog especially when faced with stiff competition. The last actual successful fli...

These gigs are no longer being filled with your traditional air talent. They are being filled with candidates that have strong digital footprints that excel on all social media platforms. If you can’t explain acronyms like DM, FOMO, and what impressions and memes are you need not apply. Hitting post...

Trust me when I say this. The new PD is not coming into Detroit making format tweaks or anything else on his own. There are a lot of “opinions” floating around The Bounce. The days of PD’s actually making calls on his/her own are history, especially in the majors. Although the qualifications for the...
