Doom and gloom Mike doesn't seem to be tanking The Ticket. Just the opposite it seems.

98.7 The Breeze is slooowly sinking to the bottom of the pack (with a 2.8 share). Run Christmas music from November 1st to December 25th. Then flip the format by 01/01/2021, Tim. The Breeze is too MELLOW/boring for today's P25-54 audience. Doesn't help that they only have 4 "live" DJs now (Chadd & Kristi Thomas, Kim Adams, and Sandy Kovach). When you run a station on the CHEAP, you get cheap results. Maybe go with a "Motown Memories" format (60's-70's) for The Breeze, and update WOMC to an 80's, 90's and 00's format?

If the format is too mellow for the 25-54 year olds, why would you want a 60’s and 70’s Motown format with a slightly older demo. Really doesn’t make sense in what you’re suggesting.

Maybe not. Have no idea. Don't care.
He's unlistenable IMHO.
However, Tigers PBP came back in August and they don't suck at the moment.
That's my theory on the ratings pop we saw.

Happy to see WLLZ still way behind.
Nothing says "The new generation classic rock!" like The Doors and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Good to see WDMK doing well. Good mix of new and classic. My new favorite They have it just right.

The Breeze is not too mellow. It's the poor song selection with lack of proper talent and imaging.
There's a reason this format is in the top 5 in every market it's in, besides us. Their song selections are not garbage like ours is.

Most of the playlist is fine, but things like "Rock Witcha" by Bobby Brown are not AC Standards and throw the sound off completely.

If they don't know what they are doing, they need to hire someone that does. Do they even have a PD?
Heck, I'll gladly program it for free.

They really are sounding damn good. I’ll have to take one of the shit Canadian stations off the presets in the truck and put on 105.9 Kiss FM.

Is WDFN the only signal that hasn’t seen a drop in share since going to the Black Information Network?

Bingo! Just look at their ratings when the Tigers play and especially when they're competitive.

Tigers playing 500 ball is good for ratings numbers. On another topic, in Milwaukee, #1 is an AM station, as is #5, why isn't AM like that in Detroit (well WWJ is in a 3 way tie, but WJR is nowhere near the double digits that they once had)
