I wonder if we may see an eventual sale of any Beasley Detroit stations or translators.

[Realist]

Wondering how this will affect Dave and Chuck the Freak, as their show was originally syndicated on other Beasley rock stations in Boston and Fort Myers…

They put Dave and Chuck on a classic rock station in Tampa. It's been 98.7 The Shark since 2018.

I've heard the show down there once. That station isn't really tearing it up with a 3.2 rating.

They are on another classic rock station in Boston, which is at 2.1 rating.

Based on that it seems Beasley stations aren't that strong in those markets.

RadioInsight update 5/8

Detroit...

Jonel Jaska exits as morning show producer at Classic Hip Hop “105.1 The Bounce” WMGC and weekend host at Rock 101.1 WRIF. Jaska had been with the company since 2016 after previously spending ten years at iHeartMedia Detroit including time on-air and as Production Director and two years as morning host at WSAQ Port Huron MI. Jaska wrote, “Here’s the thing about working in radio. You’re gonna get fired. Usually not because of performance, but because of “budget”. That’s show biz. Hit me up if ya gotta job to fill.

Classic Hits WROR/Boston does very well.

If it gets to the point that Beasley has to sell any underperforming stations, I’m sure WDMK 105.9 would end up on the selling block. EMF would most likely be in the market to buy for their Air 1 station to be on a full power in Detroit.

They overpaid for 105.9 and that group of translators.

Cumulus evidently didn't want to sell 93.1 to a commercial broadcaster. 93.1 sold for about $3 million less than 105.9.

What do you think the price tag on 105.9 be without translators?

So do you think we can actually see some of the Beasley Detroit properties on the selling block?
