Hi! I have a question about Greater Media...and Detroit. But there's no Detroit board, hmm...

Hi! I have a question about Greater Media...and Detroit. But there's no Detroit board, hmm...

Hey. :) I'm from Philadelphia and one of the frequent topics on our board is Greater Media's tendency to overlap songs between their three Philadelphia stations: heritage rocker WMMR, classic rocker WMGK, and variety hits WBEN. Most of the overlap issues are between WMMR and WMGK. I see that in Detroit GM also has three stations: WMGC for adult contemporary, WRIF for rock, and WCSX for classic rock. So, how's the programming on those GM properties? Do a lot of the same songs surface on all three stations? I'm just trying to see if what they're doing in Philadelphia is strategy or a lack thereof. Part of me thinks its clumsy programming and part of me thinks that they're trying to end up with three presets in a row on the average listener's radio.

What do you guys think? I'm really sorry to post a Detroit question on a Wisconsin board...but, there is no Detroit board. Not even a Michigan one. If you have a suggestion as to where I should post this, let me know. Hope I'm not buggin' you guys. :)

Damn wish you had asked a few days earlier. I was in Detroit over the weekend.

You might have better luck here.....
