WDVD July 17, 2016
Today we take a listen to a heritage station in Detroit, WDVD. I recorded this because I haven’t found any airchecks of that station. This comes at a difficult time in my personal life. I was struggling with depression at the time, but was feeling good this day because I had been to my favorite…

WBBM August 8, 2017
It is a new market to the site this week. Unlike a lot of sites, you’re not going to hear much from it here, largely because so much from this market exists. The market we’re talking about is Chicago, and the station is B96, WBBM, the heritage CHR in the market. I can’t remember why…

Two Very Different Waves
Usually when I review two stations, I’m comparing them, as they have a similar format. This time however, the only thing in common is the station name and that they both have an imaging spot that is nothing but waves splashing. I discovered the station on Hawaii’s big island first, as their sister station, 102.7…

WEJZ April 15, 2016
It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve been in Jacksonville, but that’s because we’ve been focusing on one station for several weeks at a time. If you as a reader are getting tired of that, it’ll be at least a month before that happens again, and depending on how you count it, it could…

KJEB October 25, 2024
This week, we finish up our listen to the 95.7 frequency in Seattle. The calls on the station changed in March 2022 when iHeart moved the sports format that had been on KJR-AM to 93.3, with that station taking on the KJR-FM call letters, while 95.7 was renamed KJEB. I heard this station a lot…

KJR July 13, 2015
If you listened to last week’s aircheck, you’ll notice that the audio got extremely distorted towards the end of the clip. I’m not really sure how that happened, but this clip was recorded a week later to see if I could get a clip that didn’t have any of that distortion.

Fresh Listen, KZFN/Moscow, ID
Last week, I wrote a rather pointed commentary about Inland Northwest Broadcasting’s KZFN, Z-Fun 106 Moscow, ID. This week, let’s take a fresh listen to the station. I first heard KZFN on an orchestra trip to the University of Idaho in 2009. At the time, I thought the CHR format had to be big and…

KJR July 6, 2015
Last week, we heard an aircheck of KJR, shortly after it relaunched as 95.7 The Jet. This week, we’ll listen to the station almost a year later, now that it has a full airstaff in place. This in particular is Mat Case in middays.

How Not to Stream Your Station
As I write this, I’m listening to an aircheck of Inland Northwest Broadcasting’s KZFN, Z-Fun 106, from Moscow, ID. This aircheck exists because one of the people I serve on Washington Council of the Blind’s communications committee lives on the Washington side of that small market in Clarkston, some 30 miles away from the station,…

KJR August 14, 2014
I actually did record the format change of 95.7 from KJR with the end of the Bob Rivers show and launch of the Jet, but a longer version of that is available, so I will not be posting that here. Instead, you’ll get an aircheck from a few days later, after I had returned from…
