Thread: smooth jazz WVMV V98.7 is gone as of 4:30PM TODAY

If I'm reading the calculator right at this page... http://www.bdcast.com/bulletins/HDRadioCalculator/index.php ...WVMV is putting out a 500 watt HD signal. Oak Park and Southfield are "radio hell" from old engineers I know. I heard Ford used to test their car radios, car alarms and other electronics behind the old long gone Mel Farr Ford on Greenfield and 10 Mile under WKQI's tower and when there were 3 or 4...

Earlier this week I met a young woman from one of my plants In Chatham ON. About thirty years old. She was lamenting the demise of V98.7. She loved the music and didn’t like the prospect of never hearing it again. That night I sorted through my CD collection and pulled out a couple. A few days later, when I was back in Chatham I gave them to her. She was delighted.

It's by FCC edict that they run it at much lower power. I believe HDRadio wattage is 1% of the analog wattage, if I remember correctly. Proponents of HDRadio, including the NAB, are lobbying the FCC to boost the limit to 10% of analog power. Quote: As far as the sound quality, It seems ok to me.. The tuning reception, at first, was a challenge, but I got it in great after plugging rabbit ears into the radio. I am in the Southfield area,...

I hope this new station FAILS They should of never killed V98.7! It was a great station. Honestly everyone, flip through your radio, and you'll see how many stations play the same **it! From 96.7 CHYR, 94.3 CKSY, 95.5, 96.3, 98.3, 98.7, 100.3 (some songs), 105.1, and 106.7................. BLACK EYED PEAS, "tonights gunna be a good night" I HATE, and I repeat HATE this CRAP they are playing on the radio! And its...

Wikipedia says Shay is on from 10-3... then Grooves 7-10 EDIT: Pardon my ignorance, I was in the car all day today, I dont recall anyone being on between 3 and 7 _________________ Have you driven a FORD lately? -Yeah I've driven a Ford lately, it broke down after my warranty expired.

This was the problem with 92-3 in NYC. IMO Dom's gotta get on the ball with getting some more high-energy jocks on the station. While he's done a great job with the playlist, he needs to take it a little easier on the rhythmic stuff. He's gotta bring out the "OH SHIT!" factor that he did when he relaunched KQI back in the day. The "OH SHIT!" factor is when you throw in a gold every once in...

> Quote: I haven't heard a commercial yet on the Smooth Jazz HD2 feed or the stream today, but I haven't listened straight through for a long period. Maybe it's commercial free now. Weren't all HD2 stations commercial free for a period of time... maybe they still are? Yes, pixel. And as far as I know, that is an FCC mandate.

Change....has come. It's Thursday.

I remember a couple days after he started at KQI, i heard several dry "DRQ is our bitch" liners, and some BRUTAL impersonations of Lisa Lisa and Jay Towers. Now this Top 40 station would be perfect for that Lisa Lisa DJ. After WOMC got rid of her (and I agree she never belonged on an oldies station), I haven't heard her on another...

I wouldn't fault Dom for those. He's a CHR guy and I'd bet he was going with what he was told to do with those other stations. I would lay more of the blame on those other CC...
