Can anyone explain the difference?

We can't really get it in TC. To the south it's about Big Rapids.

An AC station will play lots of gold from the '80s and '90s like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey. Some, like WNIC, even still play a smattering of '70s titles.
An Adult CHR will play little gold from the '90s and may not even go that far back, and will play more current/recent hits. AC's idea of "current" is essentially anything released during the last five years.
Both formats share artists like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber in common, though an AC station will wait longer to add newer releases and will play them as powers longer. Case in point: Miley Cyrus' "Flowers," released in January of 2023, JUST dropped out of the #1 spot on the AC chart. It's been recurrent at CHR and Hot AC for quite awhile.

B103.9 barely goes to sand lake, 99.1 ends at about Howard City. 102.3 makes it about Rockford but not any south due to the 102.5 translator in GR

WCDY barely makes it to Reed City, in fact. It has a null toward Muskegon County to protect 107.9 WMUS.

Z93 and 105.3 Hot FM both can be heard reasonably well in Reed City. WSNX is iffy.

The stations owned by Up North Radio are among a select few in the lower peninsula that offer no live streaming. The only others that come to mind that offer no streaming are in the Ludington area (WWKR being one such station).

Does 107.1 the Drive make it a little farther south than CDY?

B103.9 can occasionally make it into Allegan County, especially since WVGR dropped HD. It usually peters out by the time you pass the M-57 exit.

107.1 goes to I think to the muskegon river bridge. 100.9 goes to about M-57 usually too

Just did 94.9 and 94.1 and news 98 streams works currently . Wkla AM doesn’t. I’m guessing that the others aren’t reliable either, kinda like there OTA signals lol.

Also wondered why 96.3 doesn’t have an online stream but Wkla am does.
