Metro Detroiters aren't all happy about the changes. I've been a fan of local talk for 10 years. And now, we don't have any. I'm very unhappy about that. WDFN, the longest-running sports talk station in Detroit, placed 21st in Arbitron's last ratings period for September, October, November.
Sports talk is a great place to sell beer and pickup trucks.
It's ranked about 17th in the market there. Other than that, I'm keeping my own counsel. But WJR operations chief Steve Stewart says that just because a program comes from another city doesn't mean the program isn't relevant to area listeners. It's all topical, it's all current. And if breaking news happens, we'll be there.
