At various points in the day I listen to WLS, WIND, WLS, WMET or WDRV. Once in while I listen to the WLS FM station.

Agreed on all three scanman! Personally, I think that WLS-FM - particularly when live and local - is one of the best oldies stations anywhere. As for Y103.9 and The Drive, they're fine when WLS-FM is in a loooong spot break or when S. Shannon spins something extra crispy, like "Brown Eyed Girl."
Honorable mention to V 103 when they're playing music.

MYX Milwaukee a great station? Is this a joke?
Sure there's a good live and local morning show, but then:
a 2 hour voicetrack shift by the morning show producer/APD,
then a 4 (live?) hour show from 11-4,
Seacrap...er..crest from 4-7,
then 5 hours of god help us all Delilah on a HOT AC.
Way too much non local programming to be considered quality radio by most standards. Very sad.
Much love to 103.7 KISS-FM

I "bump" Soul 106.3 because they play the best house music& R&B and 87.7 Smooth Jazz. When I am at home or going out to a party WQHT97.1 and WWPR105.1fm. 
Re: Soul 106.3
Where I live, 25 miles NNW of Chicago, Soul 106.3 doesn't exist. At all. Nor does it exist where I work well north of Chicago. I get WJMR 98.3 from Milwaukee more often at my house than Soul 106.3 - and that's despite the presence of 3 other signals on 98.3 that come in now and then! Honestly, they have zero signal in my area and are thus irrelevant in my ranking system.
If Crawford was smart, they'd swap the formats and intellectual property of 106.3 and 92.3. Why? Because, with Joyner and with V103's big ratings, they have a real chance at making some inroads with a decent signal that covers the market (for the most part). The signal on both 106.3's is too spotty and they'll NEVER get big ratings on it. As for Power 92.3, they have never performed all that well. And, their format is shrinking in a PPM world, there's less room than ever before for them to coexist with WGCI.
Just my 0.02, but that's the way I see it.
