Because Riverview wouldn't allow WFDF to build its towers near the WJR site, they had to build it in Carleton. This left a marginal signal to much of Detroit. WFDF serves the Western part of the Metro well as a result, and even Ann Arbor at Night, nearly as strong as WJR, much better than WWJ at Night, and that is more in line with a Sports format. I find it very difficult to believe that they would go to a Conservative Talk format. The WJR format is in disarray since Rush Limbaugh died, and no one has come even close to his influence.

And that's a major disappointment for me because Jason Smith was once upon a time one of my favorite radio sports personalities back when he had a solo show on ESPN a little over ten years ago (AllNite with Jason Smith). Paired with Mike Harmon, I find them both completely unlistenable.
