Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - schuyler16 - 03-03-2010

My guess is it's either where Free Beers family lives or where the Doobie Brothers live


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - certainlycertainly - 03-03-2010

Maybe one of the towns in MI that the guys make fun of all the time?


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - schuyler16 - 03-04-2010

if it is I hope its Borkulo(not sure how its spelled)!


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - LimpBagel - 03-04-2010

It's Phoenix.....................right? :thumbup:


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - certainlycertainly - 03-04-2010

When they briefly mentioned it a while ago, they said it's not exciting because its a big market, it would actually be one of their smallest. That leads me to think they must have some odd connection to the city.

Borculo.

I don't even think they're big enough to have their own station. Their biggest claim to fame is the restaruant that used to get hit by cars multiple times a year, prior to the road being rebuilt in front of it.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - Biff - 03-04-2010

I'm pretty certain that WGRD reaches both Orangeville and Borculo.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - certainlycertainly - 03-04-2010

There was that whole segment when the guys talked about it and they said "we asked the PD if he had actually heard our show and what we've said about the town" which leads me to believe its gotta be a place they insulted a lot.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - Ashleyme - 03-04-2010

They said it's about content, so it's probably a Christian station

Yeah. I would tend to agree with Ashley.

[spoiler]NOT!! Wink[/spoiler]


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - Ashleyme - 03-04-2010

Well that was a joke and obviously not true, but maybe a political talk station or country station or something. My guess is it's about format.

You can hear it pretty loud and clear in Borculo.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - Ashleyme - 03-04-2010

Nope, there it is on the site under "station finder" Wasilla, AK KMBQ 1430AM 6pm-11pm

Awesome haha


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - LimpBagel - 03-05-2010

Wow, you've got to be kidding me.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - landmammaldolphin - 03-05-2010

:clap: That is some funny chit right there!!!!


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - certainlycertainly - 03-05-2010

Amazing.

10,000 population too; should be a huge boost to the ratings.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - potthole - 03-05-2010

Guess PD of that station isn't a Palin fan either...


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - Titan! - 03-05-2010

AM ? Do people actually listen to AM radio ?


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - potthole - 03-05-2010

I do occasionally for sports broadcasts. Less and less now that there are a couple of FM sports stations in town, but if trying to find a UM football game, it's to AM I go.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - certainlycertainly - 03-06-2010

This has some great potential for the 10 days they'll be on before getting kicked off. An internview with Levi could be the perfect storm of stupid.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - upperdeckercourt - 03-06-2010

Seems like a bit of a blunder to be so secretive about it on the air, but list it on the website. I won't complain though, I've been curious about this since it was brought up.

They probably assume that there aren't many people who would think to look on the website for the new affiliate if they don't mention it on the radio.

It's Alaska, they don't have FM radio up there. They just got cassette tapes a week ago


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - zdunklee - 03-06-2010

Just in case no one noticed...Wasilla is the town that Palin was mayor of before she was Governor, this might get interesting. Also this being an AM station means that most likely it can be heard in Anchorage as well because it is only 45 miles away, with not much blocking any of the signal, and has a population of almost 300,000.


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - plumpenut - 03-06-2010

yeah and it wont be aired until way after it was on live so I dont really see this as being that big a deal. They are 4 hrs behind the east coast and they wont be airing until 6pm so that is 17 hrs after the fact


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - 0rz0ski - 03-07-2010

I totally did not realize that AK = Alaska and not Arkansas. But then again, I also have the directional ability of a rock.

hey it takes all types Big Grin


Re: Mystery Affiliate joining on Monday - certainlycertainly - 03-07-2010

What's the over/under on how long before they completely insult Palin resulting in some form of meeting from management?

Last week I used AK as the abbreviation for Arkansas. You are not alone.
