Julia is the new morning host. Some tweaks to format elements are afoot, too.
Station is now positioning itself as "Detroit's Alternative Rock."

LOL.
98.7 definitely has an obsession with My Chemical Romance. I actually like the current song.
I predict Holly Hutton of WYCD will be the new midday host.

Holy crap have they crammed a shit ton of commercials into the 6a hour.
Same shitty music as usual so far, according to the music log.

That's lame. Only one voice of local origin on 98.7. Pathetic. Fuck Audacy.

Does Kelly Walker, of WRIF and 105.1 The Edge fame, still do radio in a market somewhere or is she still around the Detroit area? She'd be a great local host for an Alternative station like Alt 98.7.

Not sure. Found a couple airchecks of her work from the 90s recently. Very talented back then.

Alt 103.7 only has local jock Camfield 10-3p. Only other voice Kenney in the evenings.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
We didn't have one for two years. We wanted Julia solo, we got it. Camfield is great. I streamed him from Dallas. Very engaging talent. It sucks he isn't live here, but I'll take it. And they changed the positioner. I'll take that, too. I give i5 a B+ early.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 10:28 amThat's lame. Only one voice of local origin on 98.7. Pathetic. Fuck Audacy.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
If he just voice tracks and is on mic for a few minutes an hour, not sure how much value he'll add.
Julia in mornings is nice, but I was "treated" to probably 17 minutes of commercials in less than 60 minutes of listening. I turned off the radio as commercials were still playing.
All around, a weak effort. The corporate goon who is officially named in PD ran a disastrous station (Go 96.3) in Minneapolis.
The playlist every third or fourth song is a tune-out song I cannot tolerate. I hate AJR, I hate Panic at the Disco, and I hate the sleepy songs from Green Day.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
Fair insight. I will mostly disagree. Nearly two years ago, we had Laz-low ratings, two minutes promise, current heavy product and zero local presence.
Today, LazBlow is gone, we have at least one local jock, more gold heavy and the two minute promise is gone. I will at least credit them for going in the right direction.

Right direction - yes. The music changes happened a year ago, though, and the music still leaves a lot to be desired. These are baby steps.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7
I'll meet you on that. I feel like they HAVE to push that current product. I have to believe there are better options for currents. Plus, I heard MCR twice inside of an hour and a half.
Do they do any music testing? I would love to be on the panel!
