Doesn't WIXX come in pretty well in Manistee?

Re: Z93
Probably gonna stay CHR but with a new name and major air staff changes. Long overdue.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
Re: Z93
I have the RadioLand app (which shows signal strength using Longley-Rice models) and of the CHR/Hot AC signals, it shows the following signal strengths:
92.9 WJZQ - 54 dBu
96.3 WKLA - 59 dBu
101.1 WIXX - 51 dBu
102.7 WMOM - 55 dBu
In my experience, WJZQ seems to overperform slightly, while WKLA underperforms by a significant margin (being short-spaced to WSFQ and WLXT doesn't help matters at all). Speaking of WIXX, they are usually there, but WAPL and the higher-power Sturgeon Bay signals (WDKF, WDOR, WPFF, WPVM) are stronger

Re: Z93
Oddly it seems WIXX signal is weaker than it used to be. I used to be able to receive it better 20 miles inland but in manistee it’s hard to get without My FM yagi antenna these days. Wapl comes in better but does occasionally splatter on the car radio.

It’s a battle between 102.7 and 92.9 unless Wisconsins booming in then 92.9 is better. 96.3 is a tad harder to get. Maybe it’s due to the terrain here. Another station that is very weak but can be pulled in is 102.3 wybr. with the yagi I can pull in wsnx 104.5, wkhq 105.9, and wcdy 107.9 most of the time.

Re: Z93
I could be wrong but I think Broadway took over programming. If that's true, 100% guaranteed they're rebranding, reimaging, and taking more than a half assed shot at KHQ. I've said it since I did mornings at KHQ (about 10 years ago), all 92.9 needed was some focused direction and we might be in trouble. That VO in the promo is the same voice we used as a shadow at 95.7 in GR back when it was still Channel (Staci??), they use her at Kiss Toledo. I love her sound. This will be fun to hear! Listening to 92.9 right now I can tell you the music sounds way more focused that what I remember, the current imaging package does NOT match. I wish KHQ would remove the geo block from the stream so I can listen out of state. I love a good CHR battle.

Re: Z93
Does WMOM use that same female V/O artist?
Theirs and the one featured in the tease video sound very similar.

Re: Z93
Close but not the same. It is Corri English who sounds similar. I guess it's kind of flattery they would want to try to come close to the same voice.
Their ratings have tanked 2.3 to 1.9 to 1.2 maybe it's time for a rebranding, but I do not see them cutting into KHQ, especially since that is Trish' baby and if she feels threaten probably will step up their efforts more.
Most of what Trish's stations do is just lazy broadcasting, because they have not felt much threat, but I think a little change up, up there is not a bad thing.
I think it will be similar thought to two markets, Grand Rapids with WSNX and HOT FM. HOT FM will never come to the caliber of WSNX and in Ludington where WKLA won't get close to the listener loyalty WMOM has. I think that's the same idea in TC, the heritage that KHQ has just will be tough to make a dent in.

Re: Z93
Oh wow, you're right, that is Corrie. She sounds so close to Stacie Bartro but it's obvious playing them next to each other. Good call!

Re: Z93
If they keep that far-too-old for the demo morning show and remain CHR, the changes will be a waste of time.

Re: Z93
The post says to listen to that show on February 1st, so I assume they are keeping it.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 3:03 pmIf they keep that far-too-old for the demo morning show and remain CHR, the changes will be a waste of time.
Re: Z93
Speaking of AJ, didn’t he used to be the morning show host on WMOM during its CHR days. Wonder if he would ever end up going back to WMOM since they currently don’t have anyone for the afternoon drive.
