I've been a WDET listener for nearly my entire life. Took it for granted until I moved out of…read morestate and learned that all public radio stations are not created equal, especially when it comes the quality, depth and variety of music that they play. Since returning to the area, I've come to appreciate Craig Fahle's weekday show; its poignant, engaging and informative and has done a lot to keep me up on what's going on in the D. I do miss the awesome weekday music lineup from the late 80's/early 90's but find value in the talk lineup that they have replaced it with. If I've one gripe its that the overnight schedule is nothing but BBC news shows. I'd love to hear some music in that slot.

Just terrible. Inexcusably bad…read more The CD player broke in my car, forcing me to listen to the radio and I was shocked at what's happened to radio, so I landed on WDET and it's no better. They used to play music, actually had some decent content until they hired somebody who knew better and it went to all talk and canned NPR content (translation: what you heard in the morning was the same thing you'd hear in the evening). Now they've gone back to music but it's the worst music you could imagine. And here's something I've learned about the music on public and college radio: it's all from a playlist, often a more rigid playlist than commercial stations adhere to, and there's a reason none of it is considered "popular." So I did some surfing, turns out the guy who knew better and ruined the station embezzled money, not enough money to make it worth doing but that's where your contriburions went. Now I play the Canadian public station, I can't say I listen as I usually keep it low, it's not much better but if they do something worthy of attention I turn it up.

I don't listen to 96.3 as much as I used to, but after hearing a commercial break prompt to leave…read moreYelp reviews, I had to write an update. 96.3 WDVD is our go to station on our Echo when we are working around the house, as long as it is broadcasting online or through iHeart Radio; otherwise, the streaming doesn't work. Late in the evenings and weekends, there are good long music blocks and less talk. The programming changed a few years ago, for which was a surprise, but welcomed. More top 40 pop and less adult contemporary. A little less repetitive too, compared to other stations. It is, however, not my go to station when I need to get pumped up before a workout. 96.3 WDVD used to be my morning show go-to however, it hasn't been for awhile now. Not because of Allyson's departure but for the lack-luster show that followed her exit. A lot of people were upset she was booted, but I think it was a good move by the station. They had a chance to really kick up the morning show since booting the whining annoying lazy cat lady, but it all fell flat and I stopped listening. The station signal doesn't reach as far or as well as it used to, just a couple years ago, and something happened with our phone access to the radio station, so I don't listen for contests anymore. We can't get through on our phone lines, at all, and I don't get signal reception in downtown Ann Arbor on my regular radio. Listening online is delayed more than 3 minutes during the day, so it's not worth trying for the contests and the online streaming commercials are so long and annoying, it's not worth trying to listen at my desk. I end up turning it off after a couple songs. So lots of changes, not all good nor all bad, just flat. It's still Okay station, when there is reception, it's streaming online and when you just need background noise.

If I had to choose between FM 98 and HOT 102.7, it would be this one. I'm not sure why though,…read moreconsidering this radio station can't even keep a steady signal throughout the city. Seriously, in some parts of Detroit you can't listen to 102.7. That seems mighty strange to me. Either way, Russ Parr in the morning is pretty entertaining for the most part. His show is carried throughout various cities in the US, so it is not necessarily "Detroit" based in content. You want "interactive" Hip Hop and R&B, then this is a station you would enjoy. Although I must admit I don't understand why they call it "interactive".

All of us have been thinking about clean air this past year and ways we can filter out impurities and viruses to keep our indoor spaces safer during the pandemic. The grand prize package that I won includes a Reme Halo home furnace air purifier ($1,000), an Aeroseal ($2,250), Air Duct Cleaning ($495), and Disinfectant ($95). The Reme Halo home furnace air purifier is rated 99.9% effective at filtering COVID-19. I can't wait to have all of this installed as I plan to buy a new house in the next year. A big thanks to WJR, The Inside Outside Guys show, Sharon's Heating and Air Conditioning, and Amistee Air Duct Cleaning & Insulation for sponsoring the contest. I never thought about the importance of home improvement until I became a homeowner and recently helping my mom with getting her bathroom renovated. It can be a stressful experience! The Inside Outside Guys is a good show to listen to for home improvement tips and information on trustworthy local businesses.

WRIF fails because it covers everything in a layer of faux-abrasive-tough-guy-posing-as metalhead stylings; but still plays the equivalent to musical diarrhea. Straight from the get-go, WRIF seems tailored for rednecks and NASCAR rallies. Not the cool, REAL kind of rednecks, mind you, who would strap you to a gun rack, dowse you in gasoline, read you the Bible and then flick the match. I love those guys. No, this is more of a rock station for people who enjoy bands like Creed and Puddle of Mudd. Fast food hillbillies who gorge on repetitive rock radio. Consummate middle American consumers, whose knowledge of metal music probably fails to extend past Fred Durst's rantings or Ozzy's "No More Tears". No matter how many "tough guy" nick-names they give their hosts like "Screamin' Scott" or "Moshin' Matt", they can't make up for the fact that they play watered-down garbage passing as metal. This wouldn't offend me nearly as much if they didn't claim they knew the first thing about heavy-effin' metal. Despite what the ignorant tell you, Slayer is not the only metal band, and playing crap like Shinedown, Buckcherry, and Nickelback nearly every hour defines exactly why this station sucks the big one.

Sorry, but the only cities that actually play a little more real music these days are NYC, Chicago, and Miami. There may be a few others but I don't know them. WJLB just plays the same stuff over and over again. Soulja Boy this, Lil' Wayne that and ending with a lil Ne-Yo's newest single at night. It's just sad, really, I'm a music fiend and I'm from Chicago originally and I get around this nation and I can say that Detroit radio is real bad for a music fiend and WJLB is no exception! In fact what I hate the most is when they time release singles off of the SAME album like months apart just to spread the momentum for the album out. So corporate run! It's not about music at all, it's about album sales. And what's this Kid Cudi's "Day & Nite" being "new on the streets" in April - I had that song like back in December of 2008, lol. It's a shame. The same goes for Channel 955, they're probably the worst at this & "Hot" 102.7. In fact the only station I like that actually plays a variety of music and stays true to its genre is 89X!!!!
