Lazaro Vega Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 From Michigan Improv: (begin forwarded message) A great radio program has been lost for those who live in the S.E. MI. area. W. Kim Heron's Sunday night program on WDET has been canceled. Station management has decided that it needs to promote its news and information. I hope that the mich improv list would go to wdetfm.org and send an email to the management to register a complaint. Kim's program will really be missed, he did a outstanding service by promoting creative music in the area and by allowing musicians a performance outlet with his live in the studio programs. This was a great outreach service that WDET has now abandoned. I encourage the readers of this list to register a complaint. Go to wdetfm.org, click on the Contact Us menu. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 The thing I don't get about this move by WDET, is why are they shifting everything to news when Michigan Radio's signal is right next to them on the dial and already has all these same programs (at pretty much the same times)? It seems completely wasteful. Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Could be wrong, but I predict it will ultimately backfire on them--esp. given what Jim says in the post directly above. I'll also be curious to see how WBEZ's dual news/info/talk signal works out in the long run. Quote
wigwise Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 I'm sure they'll find out the impact come fund raising time. Quote
