Re: 97.1
Funny you mention that. I haven't been doing much weekend listening lately, but no, I haven't heard Leach in quite a while. Riger is now paired with Wojo in early evenings.
Speaking of, how much does it suck to get preempted by a Tigers game from 2009?

Swear I thought it was a game from the early 60s! Where in the hell did they pull that audio from!?

Yeah, Leach and Brian Chapman just sorta disappeared. Not complaining mind you.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 8:53 am Funny you mention that. I haven't been doing much weekend listening lately, but no, I haven't heard Leach in quite a while. Riger is now paired with Wojo in early evenings.

Re: 97.1
Leach is on YouTube doing some kind of video podcast called the Taskforce. Fithian and Chapman are also doing a YouTube video podcast themselves called the 5th chapter.
Surprised 97.1 has had no local programming since Thursday. This never happened before during a holiday weekend. Maybe just the day of the holiday but you could usually count on Caputo being there Sunday morning. This station is really slashing costs.

Re: 97.1
What I expect is Entercom to fire 75% of it's air talent in Detroit across the board, including WWJ, which will start broadcasting national news in all dayparts except mornings and afternoons, with part timers cutting in for Traffic and Weather. Expect 97.1 to air national syndication 10am - 2pm and then 6pm to 6am everyday. They are also not going to renew the Wings or Tigers. That company is a joke............and this was likely going to happen without any influence from the Pandemic.

I have cassettes from that era that probably sounded better than that.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 9:02 amMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 8:59 am Yesterday afternoon, the station was airing an Ernie Harwell-era broadcast from the 80's with horrendously poor audio quality.

Re: 97.1
This thread got me curious, so I tuned in to 97.1 while out for lunch. The network host announced that at 1:20 they would discuss the top five late night hosts. Then he started an interview with an NFL reporter by talking about a "controversial" photo of the reporter with seltzer and a beer or something like that.
I quickly shut off the radio before I started feeling the effects of a lobotomy.

It sounded like it was recorded from a transistor radio on a lousy Memorex tape then EQ'd with no low frequencies and everything above 1k goosed!

Re: 97.1
While I wouldn't rely on the 97.1 The Ticket's website for answers to any of your questions it does appear that what they are showing as their "Daily Schedule" might be somewhat accurate. They are showing these old baseball games on their schedule if this means anything.

Re: 97.1
The schedule also said Pat Caputo would be on today and he wasn't.
Re: 97.1
I disagree with you there. I think that station has handled this whole pandemic situation very very well. Can't be easy with no current sports going on. It's not the station, it's the station owner. Never underestimate Entercom's ability to fuck up something good.
