TC's 106.7-FM Format Change: 24/7 Sports Talk

Hot on the heels of WCCW-AM Sports Talk 1310's announcement that it's launching FOX Sports Radio on August 30, Charlie Ferguson, general manager of Northern Broadcast, Inc. tells The Ticker that NBI has landed the ESPN Radio sports network and, also on August 30, will begin broadcasting 24/7 sports talk across northern Michigan via two wide-reaching NBI FM stations: 106.7 WSRT-FM in Honor/Traverse City and 105.5 WSRJ-FM in Gaylord/Petoskey.

Have not listened and have no intentions of tuning in to this station anymore! Miss talk radio.

I can't believe you did this! There's more then 20 sports channels on XM and am is filled with sport channel... Please, please switch back I miss Dave Ramsey!

So Sad!!! I LOVED Stephanie Miller, Michael Smerconish and Dave Ramsey. I can't stand sports and want nothing to do with them. In the north it's hard to get any AM channels so YOU was the only option we had for talk radio. And I certainly did not want to listen to Rush or Sean. When will you be changing back!!! I will not listen until you do.

I too, will no longer listen to this station. I listened daily when Dave Ramsey was on. I think this was a bad idea. We have way to much on sports already.

Shelly McDonald on September 25, 2012 9:12am

Ramsey was the best thing you had going. Just wanted you to know you've lost a me.

Abby on September 17, 2012 2:38pm

Very disappointed in the change. I do not watch sports let alone listen to them. This was the only station I consistently listened to and looked forward to listening to on a daily basis.

Jeanne on September 17, 2012 9:42am

Bad, Bad idea to switch to all sports. People can watch that on tv. Didn't like Stephanie Miller, wasn't suitable for northern Michigan, too Hollywood. Talk radio gives us a chance to speak. It was the only station I listened to in my travels, including weedends. Not anymore. Change it back to YOU FM.

This is a foolish change. You had the best radio station going in northern Michigan with all the talk commentary, the notoriety of Dame Ramsey, and the left and right wing view points. I really enjoyed Ramsey and Smerconish, but this change has totally wrecked a really great thing, a place where people can listen to differing viewpoints and decide for themselves. Thanks for taking away such a great thing. Disgruntled in Petoskey

NO, NO, NO!!!! You simply HAVE to switch back!!! I had your station pre-set because I could get left wing, right wing, common sense, and DAVE RAMSEY!! Please, please, please return to the old format!!!

No longer a listener to your station as really miss Dennis Miller. You can listen to sports anywhere, but Dennis is the best!
