How many phone lines do you need to take seven calls?
Ron's hoping to hire some switchboard operators ... if he can find anyone who wants to work.

Perhaps Ron can lure Sarah from Mayberry up to the big city to help handle the expected phone overflow when he switches to a new frequency.

Maybe we will soon be hearing the dulcet tones of our boy booming out from the Golden Shower of the Tower 14 Buildng. The Lame Voice of the Great Lakes.

All this hype from “Ron’s” Twitter page on him moving to another station

Does Martin go with him, when Ron goes to other station, Martin does not seem to follow him when he does not do a show from WPON

Ron is pushing Downriver, which I believe is a clue to the new station. WNZK’s towers are in I believe Huron Township and certainly cover the area. WFDF’s are near Carleton but have somewhat of a null that way. WMKM’s (1440) are in Romulus. These are the three most likely options, in order.

I don’t think 1270 has a dedicated AM studio anymore, and WJR charges too much. I can’t see Luke giving Ron another chance on 1400 (or 1500).
He was pushing the downriver demo for sure last show, not sure from downriver who has been unable to reach Ron since the change to wpon

I suspect Ron's new station will be within the building. But if not, I hope he gets that unnamed female producer - with her international caller base - to join him.

Martin posted Ron is considering a co-host. Of course there's only one real option: Mr. Positive.

So, would a co-host get half of Ron’s toast at his Rams Horn breakfast payoff? Or maybe some of the French fries at one of the Coney advertisers?

I agree.Mr Positive is to most energetic and entertaining personality in the market He hits it out of the park every time he calls in.However,Ron's ego,would never let him work,with someone more talented then him.He needs to work with,someone inferior to him.That is a hard ask.The only person I can think of is Martin.

If true, & not merely an effort on Martin’s part to troll us, it can only mean that one-man operation Ron - who does not work or play well with others - needs help in defraying his show costs and/or securing more sponsors.

I can't imagine anyone foolish enough to share financial responsibilities with Ron on anything. Anyone who's listened to his show knows that most of his advertisers have a very short lifespan, except for the Fenton Hotel and Ram's Horn, who probably pay off in mostly free meals, with a few dollars thrown in for contract purposes.

Martin might be a good choice, to take some pressure off Ron (who says he never feels pressure on the radio, but whose actions say otherwise). When Ron takes a bathroom break, the musical interludes make the show more interesting. And Ron seems open to Martin bringing up topics.

That should be good for a few outbursts of anger on Friday's show.

"At some point early in the season, Rogers had an epiphany. Or maybe, finally, what manager AJ Hinch had been preaching sunk in. Stop trying to be a good hitter and do what you do best at the plate - slug. Would you rather hit .250 with 12 homers or.221 with 21? easy call, and it helped him secure the No. 1 catcher spot in his first season back after Tommy John surgery. He was worth a plus-7 run value behind the plate, ranked in the top 10 percentile in blocking and top 20 percentile in framing. The only negative defensively , and it wasn't all on him, was his throwing, He caught just 10 of 61 runners trying to steal.
First-half grade: C-plus
Second-half grade: B
Final grade: C-plus"

Combrero:

"His farewell could not have gone any better. Not only did he stay healthy all season, but he produced, hitting .310 with a .782 OPS in September. He turned the final home stand of the season into a glorious party. A sure first-ballot Hall of Famer in five years, he leaves the game as one of three players all-time to amass at least 500 home runs, 3,000 hits and hit at least .300. He also leaves the game as one of the most-decorated hitters in history, with a Triple Crown, two MVPs, four batting titles and 12 Al-Star nods. He will remain in the organization as special assistant to president Scott Harris. Still, his departure from the clubhouse truly marks the end of an era in Detroit Tigers baseball.
First-half grade: B
Second-half grade: B
Final grade: B"
