106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here

[Mega Hertz]

You gonna take credit for them taking your song idea, MW?

I don't know how to feel about that song. I used to love it, but (and I'm channeling my inner Cowboy here), my dad wanted it played at his funeral, and he died 5 years ago (March 24, 2014) tomorrow. So it's a hard listen.

Also, in response to the trolling posts and how this board is run, MW personally funds this board and runs it at a loss for fun. He doesn't get nearly enough kudos for giving us a place to vent our frustrations and praises. So thanks again MW.

Off to spin some Sammy Van Halen

I’m going to Channel my inner Cowboy also, My Father would say what the f**k is that shit you have on the radio, Seriously my Dad’s been gone 10 years, March 7th the day my latest Grandson was born, Steven J. 9lbs. 4 oz. My Daughter Monica’s 3rd boy. And Mega your father is always with you because you’re his son he will always look down on you and keep you in line, My Father is always with me. Good Day Mega!

MW has mentioned earlier that their fake Wheels playlist was similar to Tampa’s 98.7 The Shark. Having just came back from 2 weeks in Florida and listening to the Shark, I disagree. The Shark is better and harder. Beasley shows that they are different from IHeart and Cumulus in regards to their playlist

I'll be damned.

Wheels played Right Now this evening. Nice touch!

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. Tomorrow will be a steak dinner in his honor. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.

Why did WLLZ play “Don’t You” (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds this morning, What next WLLZ “Tainted Love” by Soft Cell why not everyone else plays it. WLLZ 106.7 “The radio train wreck of 2019”.

I have been trying to give the station a listen all month, and I have been checking out their recently played list to see what types of songs make up the core of their new playlist. Over all I am not impressed and 106.7 is just another preset I cycle through when trying to find something to listen too. I never stay on the station past a few songs. For having about 40 years of music too choose from I do seem to hear a lot of the same songs and bands over and over. It does feel like 100 song heavy playlist with 200 once in awhile songs they mix in.

If they truly want to be "The Next Generation of Classic Rock" They need to move away from the 70's and early 80's early Heavy Metal and Arena Rock. Concentrate on Hair Metal, Grunge, and Post Grunge.

So.
About that "new station to hate on now that FAULT is gone"...
Is this it?

It is! Along with the rest of The Detroit FM Dial, Stream or dig out your CD collection, In fact I just purchased 2 CD Players online today.

That Simple Minds song tested in at WCSX. How, I'm not sure, but it became a teritary.

Of course, on this day in 1984, the kids in Breakfast Club met for detention. Maybe that has anything to do with it?

I think part of the problem is, WCSX became what I used to dub as "Riff's Dumpster". If WRIF played it in the 80s, then WCSX played it. In the 80s, WRIF played plenty of stuff like Huey Lewis, Billy Joel and Don Henley. Aside from speaking to those that programmed the station then, I still have lots of those old stickers from the 80s (my 1987 Norris Division Champion Detroit Red Wings sticker is my favorite).

I'm still riding high on hearing Sammy VH (that wasn't Why Can't This Be Love) last night.
