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.

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

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.

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.

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!
