As of May 17th, my #1 preset will be something else, and I'll take my 4 hours a day listening habit elsewhere -- probably SiriusXM, online or to my iPod. Big time epic fail, Greater Media Detroit.

In a way, WRIF is more painful musically than even 955. This is because when you turn on 955 you…read moreknow you are turning on the equivalent to musical diarrhea. 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.

WCBN is the University of Michigan's non-commercial freeform radio station that's run by students…read more What they focus on is bringing things on the radio that you normally wouldn't hear on other stations. My favorite night is late Saturday nights, they usually play some excellent hip hop if you catch it at the right time. By "nomally wouldn't hear", I'm not talking about an obscure noise/basement medley/karaoke cover/whatever-else-obscure 24/7 (though maybe sometimes) fest. For instance, just giving it a listen randomly, they were going over some local events (big kid kickball!) inbetween Kraftwerk and Jean Grae. Currently, my good friend Dustin does Freeform on Thursday nights. He knows a lot about music and is a local musician. I've learned a lot about local music and much more through him, and thanks to him I've opened my scope to being more than a hip hop head. Once, he created an entire playlist for me on my birthday -- one of the coolest birthday gifts, ever. I've also taken a walk through the station itself. It's a great place adorned with decades of history on the walls -- Post-Its, scribbin', photos -- along with a well-loved couch and tech stuff like turntables, cassette decks, reel to reels, amps. Those walls are totally made to house sound. If you're curious about a certain DJ, they playlists are posted online. You can also connect through their website -- no need to sit in the car with the top down and an Icee.

(Which isn't really a dial anymore.) I'm a bit surprised at the level of hate this station is getting in the scant few reviews it has on Yelp. Doesn't just about every city have a modern oldies station like this? Lots and lots of 80s, some 70s, a bit of 90s. When I was a kid they played mostly 50s and 60s top 40 but the march of time goes on. Sure they play the same songs over and over again but don't most stations? Hey, if it ain't broke... I think that's why we have more than one radio station to choose from. The morning show people are pretty insufferable but again, I think that's pretty par for the course and I'm quick to hit buttons as soon as I'm not liking what I'm hearing. It's no CBC - my favorite radio station- or no WDET but it's not supposed to be. It beats the hell out of WNIC; I'll say that much. I'll probably never listen to WOMC again if I ever get to the point of driving vehicles that have Bluetooth hookups to play music from off my phone or even Sirius radio but for now it fills a spot and I'd actually probably look back and miss it a little after a long period of it's absence... that beep, beep, yeah! jingle and whatnot.

Station is completely overrated and third rate radio station. Absolutely Nothing is valuable about…read morethis station. As a Long Islander, stopped listening after a week into March this year, extremely repetitive on most songs every 5+ hour gap. I do NOT recommend this station to anyone, including in Detroit Metro Area. If you want the best classic hits, listen to LONG ISLAND Radio Stations like 102.3 WBAB (Babylon) and 103.1 WBZO MAX FM (Bay Shore). GET THE APPS FOR THOSE RADIO STATIONS RIGHT NOW! BOTH of these radio stations play much much more variety of classic hits compared to fracturing WOMC. I feel like no one is willing to give it listen anymore. GO BANKRUPT WOMC AND DIE FOREVER! When I come to Michigan one day, I will play either of the following 3 radio stations: 100.3 WNIC (DETROIT'S MOST LISTENED TO), 102.3 WBAB, or 103.1 WBZO MAX FM. WNIC deserves a complete 5/5 because of CHELSEA!!! I LOVE CHELSEA!!! (I wish I could get on Zoom with her or just say hi to her from Facebook live ) While the WNIC hosts and Michigan residents may not be comfortable hearing Long Island-Based commercials and promos, I once again EXTREMELY STRONGLY RECOMMEND WBAB and WBZO if you want the BEST classic rock and hits! #LongIslandPride

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.

NPR's reporting is so blatantly biased and one-sided!! They don't know what it means to deliver a balanced, wholesome newscast!! If I was President Trump I would cut off their funding too since I have NEVER heard them say a good word about him!! Are there things I don't like about the current administration, of course. But they are doing some good things, as well, but you will NEVER hear about it on this station or it's affiliates!! Time to grow up WDET and stop crying about federal funding cuts that you brought upon yourself!! If you would get back to fair and unbiased news reporting you wouldn't be in this situation!!

AMP is one of the newest players on the Detroit radio circuit. I am generally a big fan. The…read morestation tends to play dance, club and hip-hop music a lot and that's the kind of music I want to listen to in the car. The music is generally Top 40 with a tendency to play the more dance oriented type music. My only problem is that the songs are fairly repetitious and if there is a certain song that is out that I don't like, it's easy to hear that repeatedly. Also, AMP has the same problem as many Detroit stations: too much Eminem. Otherwise, I flip to the AMP quite often to get me through my drive and through my day. I can't ask for much else from a radio station.

One day I turned on the radio without the DVD and I heard what sounded like a real radio station. I absolutely love Southfield High School's station. THEY GET IT! No commercials because they station is funded through the state. No annoying DJ's blasting a bunch of empty rhetoric on topics they know absolutely nothing about. No IRRITATING shout outs to the best baby daddy's and baby mama's . It is oh so refreshing to hear a variety of music without having to cringe at the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, they play all sorts of music and including hip hop, "real" hip hop. You know anything before the bling era. I have two favorite stations and this is one!
