Re: 1090 AM
What's on 1090 these days? I've heard rumors of brokered rap music, and syndicated uniblab sports, but I've never checked it out.
1090 was a cash machine when Walter Wolpin owned it. Now that WJR is basically a pay to play station, the days of these suburban AMs making money that way are gone.

DUE TO A TRANSMITTER FIRE, WCAR IS TEMPORARILY SILENT. THE LICENSEE EXPECTS THE STATION TO RETURN TO THE AIR IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS.

Re: 1090 AM
I imagine the term "deferred maintenance" comes into play here. Just an educated guess.

Re: 1090 AM
I live less than 2 miles from this station. Its just a nuisance to the airwaves here, and for no good programming. I’m glad it’s off.

Re: 1090 AM
I agree, and it's a shame. It was a unique community radio station for a very long time. A unique facility too, in that it actually increases power at night. Nowadays, it likely can't overcome the noise floor at night. In the 70s and 80s it was quite listenable in most of Oakland and Macomb on night pattern.ZenithCKLW wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:47 pm I live less than 2 miles from this station.

For the record, it's been Fox Sports Radio for a few months now.

Re: 1090 AM
no matter what their programming was, you'd call it a nuisance, and those towers were there (95% certainty) before you moved to your place of residenceZenithCKLW wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:47 pm I live less than 2 miles from this station.

There are the towers in question. As I snapped this picture, I had 1090 in my work van and got solid static.

Re: 1090 AM
maybe you were by a power source that caused every station to have static

Re: 1090 AM
I grew up in the 80s and 90s with those towers visible from the house. The house I bought since then is within 2 miles of the towers. What's your point?billmich88888 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 9:42 amno matter what their programming was, you'd call it a nuisance, and those towers were there (95% certainty) before you moved to your place of residenceZenithCKLW wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:47 pm I live less than 2 miles from this station.

Yeah, except for no. Every other station came in a-okay. As was asked before, what's your point?billmich88888 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 8:20 am maybe you were by a power source that caused every station to have static
