I’m in Lansing currently and tuned into LAV today. It generally came in loud and clear before their tower issues. Now it comes in but nowhere near like it used to

LAV's new tower is 15-20 miles farther to the west than its old site

"Mrs Warmth", whoever she is (Lori Bennett probably), is obviously a Cumulus corporate shill.

High end is ridiculously over emphasized. Bass is largely absent. Someone really likes the sound of cymbals, I guess. Do the people who work at WLAV ever listen to their own station over the air?
It's just an artist concession for all their listeners that blew out their >8kHz hearing ability from sitting too close to the stacks at a Van Halen show...

Exactly why I have Sirius in all my vehicles. Lame same old crap. Try digging into some ALBUMS from the 60's and 70's...wait, I won't listen anyway.
Anyone remember ABC Love Radio and Brother John? Summer 1970ish. Or WXTO or WGVU at 5 Watts? Now that was great 'underground' radio back in the day.

Agree, the digital and audio compression gives the music a much lower-quality sound as compared to most OTA music stations.

WLAV's signal is not strong in Newaygo. From the old site on Pettis it was very good up there.
