We drove up to Detroit, Michigan last Saturday to see the Baltimore Orioles take on the Detroit Tigers. I've been an Orioles fan since childhood when we lived in Pennsylvania and could pick up Baltimore stations on television. That was more than 30 years ago and I had yet to see the Orioles play live.
Comerica Park opened in 2000 and is an absolute gem of a stadium.
Baltimore won 5-3!
Comerica is located right across the street from the Fox Theatre which was built in 1928.
WJR (W Jewett Radio & Phonographic Company--the original owners) is a 50,000-watt, class A clear channel station which carries a News/Talk format. They were the flagship station of the Detroit Tigers from 1964 until 2000.
WIOO is a Classic Country station licensed to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They are one of about 40 stations in the Baltimore Orioles Radio Network. Howard Stern's longtime co-host Robin Quivers got her first radio job at WIOO in 1979.
We conclude College Radio Week with two stickers from KFSR, the member-supported station from California State University, Fresno. KFSR went on the air at 90.7 FM in 1982 and carries a variety of block programming with a heavy emphasis on Jazz.
91.9 FM KCSB is a campus and community radio station broadcasting from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Syndicated radio personality and Fox News host Sean Hannity had a weekly show on KCSB which lasted less than a year in the late 1980s. Sports radio host Jim Rome started his career at KCSB while earning his degree in Communications at UCSB.
KUOI (K University Of Idaho) began operating at 89.3 FM in 1969 although their history dates back to 1945 when students used war surplus materials to broadcast a few hours a week. KUOI carries a Freeform format and is licensed to Moscow, Idaho.
WCNI broadcasts from the campus of Connecticut College in New London, CT. They carry a block programmed Freeform format and is run by students as well as residents of the local community. WCNI began as an AM carrier current station before moving to 91.5 FM in 1974. A transmission power upgrade led them to move to 91.1 FM and eventually to their current home at 90.9 FM.
WMUH broadcasts from MUHlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The station began at 640 AM in 1950 before switching to 89.7 FM in 1964. In 1979 they moved to 91.7 FM while increasing their power to 440 watts. WMUH carries a block-programmed Freeform format.
I saw this sticker on a car heading north on Interstate 75 yesterday. WDEO is a Religious station licensed to Ypsilanti, Michigan. In 1998 Domino's Pizza owner Tom Monaghan sold his chain of restaurants and used part of the fortune to buy WWCM which was then a Contemporary Christian station. Monaghan flipped it to WDEO and changed the format to a Catholic-based teaching/talk station.
"Big 105.5 FM" CHUB is a Hot Adult Contemporary station licensed to Red Deer, Alberta. The station moved to the FM dial in 2000 after having been at 700 AM with the call letters CKRD. It's unclear if there's a connection between the CHUB call letters and the "Big" branding or if they just love their fat listeners. Two more obese stickers can be seen here.
