Excited to have my favorite "alternative rock" station back. Some of the new stuff they're playing…read morejust doesn't fit the alt rock vibe and is pretty lame.

Dave and Chuck The Freak with Lisa Way actually makes me look forward to my hour plus long commute…read moreto work in gridlock traffic prior to the sun even rising....now that is powerful testimony! They have me cracking up the entire way from dumb ass criminal of the day, bitch is trippin, news, sports, Andrew the man expert, organism Rick, that crazy smoking granny who loves White Castle and adult novelties, Leon the sex coach. I love when Mark Steinus from ET calls in...he's a hoot! The listeners write in needing advice and they have some unique issues to boot! (Should I sleep with my friends mom, should I let her dominate me for cash, crazy roommate might be a serial killer, you know everyday stuff) I miss sexy Wednesdays. Then there's those dang Canadian fast food commercials-I'm jealous Poutine with butter chicken...I'm a sucker for fusion food and anything curry and unexpected french fry uses (Bucharest Shwarma, California Burrito at Carnival)! Other than Dave and Chuck..it's nice to have a radio station that plays something other than the same 8 sugar pop. Radiohead, Weezer make me happy. I could use more Ramones, Flaming LIps, Talking Heads, Janes Addiction, and obsecure things like CBC Radio2 plays. Bonus on the weekends they play retro tunage!

Just heard that WRIF is getting rid of Drew & Mike, a fixture in the morning for most of my…read moreradio-listening years! (http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130508/ENT10/305080394/WRIF-no-longer-air-Drew-Mike-morning-show?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE). 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. Drew blows, you suck!!

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.

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.

They have some good music like Wagid's Wednesday night electronic music from 8pm - 10pm!! And some…read morelimited good news programs. What irks me is they are crying foul now that the Trump Administration is threatening to cut off their funding, but they NEVER have a good word to say about the administration!! 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!!
