Aside from The Ticket occasionally, listening to the Detroit idiocy stations are like walking through a dead mall.

Agreed.
Well said.
Yeah, the last days of Summit Place and Livonia Malls were very sad.

Any idea of the total revenue Audacy generates annually in Detroit?
Audacy Detroit generates a ton of revenue, and is one of the top performers in the company. Their stations are all top-rated and the most listened to, by and large. Its declining national ad revenue and corporate stumbles causing the issues. Folks are thrilled locally with performance. Its Audacy thats hanging over their heads.
How much is the land which 1270 sits worth? It's not exactly a booming area. I don't see them selling it cheap, even with the station essentially a clearing for sports betting talk (which is practically unlistenable if you aren't a die hard gambler).
Partly, I was trying to get some of you riled up, like you're always trying to do to me, by suggesting that it should go to religion or foreign language.
Foreign language programming would probably be the best use of 1270, in my opinion.
A downright shame, considering that it was a legacy station that gave the world The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet, and later on was one of Detroit's most influential Top 40 stations.

what does a ton equate to in dollars?

WWJ is among the top billing AM stations in the country. Inside Radio says 2022 revenue was 13.6 million dollars.

The local Audacy stations collectively generate $55 million to $60 million of annual revenue.
97.1, 99.5, 104.3 and 950 are all strong billers. Audacy owns 3 of the top 5 billing FM stations locally.
Would be nice if WOMC could fix its audio glitch issues. Sounded good during the 3PM hour yesterday but then the audio glitches reemerged in a major way in the 4PM hour.

I have noticed that Audacy is now producing the Fly on the Wall SNL podcast with David Spade and Dana Carvey. Previously it was produced by Cadence 13. Note: I just looked it up. Audacy is the parent company of Cadence 13.
