Ann Delisi did a shout-out to Hal on her show this past weekend.

In his day, Hal always had the station sounding great. Word among other engineers is that he had some wicked matrix processing going on, of which I do not know make, model or details. At the height of Detroit's stupid loudness wars, he had WCZY spending bank to make incremental improvements, and all WDTX/WDFX could do is crank up the composite clipper, as if to say "see, we're loudest".

IIRC, Ann Delisi had the last 'music program' on WJR- it was on Sunday nights and it was titled something like "behind the music" - like Bob Dylan's XM Theme Time Radio, it had a topic, like songs about "whilstling" - I enjoyed her WJR show quite a bit, and it was when WJR still had their superior stereo sound.

Her shows and Jay Butler's are pretty much the only shows I try to catch on terrestrial radio.

WDVD’s audio is still horrid….. too much bass for how my stereo in the vehicle is set.

Their RDS info is usually useless or stuck on something other than what the song really is, which is okay except that it’s part of modern radio.

Most of the time I’m not watching it while driving but what’s the point of having it if it’s not correct?

Maybe something did die In a rack somewhere…. But….. who knows.

Sounds fine to me.
Agree about the RDS both cumulus stations are useless when it comes to that.

Wanna hear actual horrid audio try 93.9 or any station Tim Roberts programs.
Talk about muffled muddy garbage.
