I don't listen to 96.3 as much as I used to, but after hearing a commercial break prompt to leave…read moreYelp reviews, I had to write an update. 96.3 WDVD is our go to station on our Echo when we are working around the house, as long as it is broadcasting online or through iHeart Radio; otherwise, the streaming doesn't work. Late in the evenings and weekends, there are good long music blocks and less talk. The programming changed a few years ago, for which was a surprise, but welcomed. More top 40 pop and less adult contemporary. A little less repetitive too, compared to other stations. It is, however, not my go to station when I need to get pumped up before a workout. 96.3 WDVD used to be my morning show go-to however, it hasn't been for awhile now. Not because of Allyson's departure but for the lack-luster show that followed her exit. A lot of people were upset she was booted, but I think it was a good move by the station. They had a chance to really kick up the morning show since booting the whining annoying lazy cat lady, but it all fell flat and I stopped listening. The station signal doesn't reach as far or as well as it used to, just a couple years ago, and something happened with our phone access to the radio station, so I don't listen for contests anymore. We can't get through on our phone lines, at all, and I don't get signal reception in downtown Ann Arbor on my regular radio. Listening online is delayed more than 3 minutes during the day, so it's not worth trying for the contests and the online streaming commercials are so long and annoying, it's not worth trying to listen at my desk. I end up turning it off after a couple songs. So lots of changes, not all good nor all bad, just flat. It's still Okay station, when there is reception, it's streaming online and when you just need background noise.

If I could give no stars I would. I entered to win a trip to Florida and they called me and told…read moreme I won! I was so excited. They told me I would get papers in the mail after all the other Florida trips were given away. I waited a while and didn't get anything. I emailed them telling them my situation and they told me it should be sent soon. Then they emails me again and told me they misinformed me on the phone and I didn't win. I was entered into a smaller drawing and lost. It was very unprofessional and rude. As for the radio show I feel like their personalities are bland to say the least. Also, the Deal Breakers segment is so fake! I don't believe a word of it. I will never listen to the station again! Horrible!!!

I was happy to learn that I was selected as the grand prize winner of the Clean Air For the…read moreHolidays contest. I remember entering in December and received the good news after the New Year. All of us have been thinking about clean air this past year and ways we can filter out impurities and viruses to keep our indoor spaces safer during the pandemic. The grand prize package that I won includes a Reme Halo home furnace air purifier ($1,000), an Aeroseal ($2,250), Air Duct Cleaning ($495), and Disinfectant ($95). The Reme Halo home furnace air purifier is rated 99.9% effective at filtering COVID-19. I can't wait to have all of this installed as I plan to buy a new house in the next year. A big thanks to WJR, The Inside Outside Guys show, Sharon's Heating and Air Conditioning, and Amistee Air Duct Cleaning & Insulation for sponsoring the contest. I never thought about the importance of home improvement until I became a homeowner and recently helping my mom with getting her bathroom renovated. It can be a stressful experience! The Inside Outside Guys is a good show to listen to for home improvement tips and information on trustworthy local businesses.

The content is good because I am a Detroit area native. I do not have a loud vehicle, and I spend a good amount of time driving on freeways, listening. I would give the show 4 or 5 stars, however, Guy's vocal style, though easygoing, is such that he trails off at the end of making a point all the time. Lloyd and Jamie have good "radio voices". I don't expect him to make a big change this time in his life (I am his age). It is becoming harder to enjoy the show...

Just terrible. Inexcusably bad…read more The CD player broke in my car, forcing me to listen to the radio and I was shocked at what's happened to radio, so I landed on WDET and it's no better. They used to play music, actually had some decent content until they hired somebody who knew better and it went to all talk and canned NPR content (translation: what you heard in the morning was the same thing you'd hear in the evening). Now they've gone back to music but it's the worst music you could imagine. And here's something I've learned about the music on public and college radio: it's all from a playlist, often a more rigid playlist than commercial stations adhere to, and there's a reason none of it is considered "popular." So I did some surfing, turns out the guy who knew better and ruined the station embezzled money, not enough money to make it worth doing but that's where your contriburions went. Now I play the Canadian public station, I can't say I listen as I usually keep it low, it's not much better but if they do something worthy of attention I turn it up.

What irks me is they are crying foul now that the Trump Administration is threatening to cut off their funding, but they NEVER have a good word to say about the administration!! NPR's reporting is so blatantly biased and one-sided!! They don't know what it means to deliver a balanced, wholesome newscast!! If I was President Trump I would cut off their funding too since I have NEVER heard them say a good word about him!! Are there things I don't like about the current administration, of course. But they are doing some good things, as well, but you will NEVER hear about it on this station or it's affiliates!! Time to grow up WDET and stop crying about federal funding cuts that you brought upon yourself!! If you would get back to fair and unbiased news reporting you wouldn't be in this situation!!

I am really surprised at all the negativity towards SiriusXM here! I forgot what life was like…read morebefore SiriusXM! It's so nice to have the vast variety of listening options when driving and especially on a road trip! We have Sirius XM in each of our three vehicles. My favorite Sirius channels are Hair Nation, Ozzy's Boneyard, Turbo, and Liquid Metal. Depending on who was riding in the car with me, I've listened to 40s on 4, 50's on 5, 80s on 8, and the Elvis channel. My husband loves to play the Fox News Channel and it's okay in my opinion. It's nice to see Sirius has numerous Christmas channels (played during the Christmas season only) which I haven't explored yet. I like Eddie Trunk's Hair (Trunk) Nation show on the Hair Nation channel every Monday from 5-P PM CT. Yeah, those who have Yelped about SiriusXM's questionable billing practices are correct. They do increase their subscription prices. Typically the hubs and my friends just cancel their subscription (which may take some time in dealing with their customer service), wait a little while and you will get a deep discount to renew your subscription. I think it was $4.95/month to re-add my stepson's XM to his vehicle. It's a good idea to keep an eye on your Sirius subscription pricing to ensure you are not getting fleeced. Thanks, Sirius, for keeping my guests who travel with me, and me entertained, and for making long trips less onerous and more pleasant!!!

They are rude, sort of like a time share salesman with different prices all over the place and then they keep interrupting you while pushing to upsell. I was very adamant I only wanted reinstated for what I had already paid for and the salesman raised his voice still insisting I buy more years. Been a customer for a long time but they have really fallen down on customer service. Who needs them with so many other options now. Sirius/XM is going to end up just like terrestrial radio. I would give negative stars if it were a option

If I had to choose between FM 98 and HOT 102.7, it would be this one. I'm not sure why though,…read moreconsidering this radio station can't even keep a steady signal throughout the city. Seriously, in some parts of Detroit you can't listen to 102.7. That seems mighty strange to me. Either way, Russ Parr in the morning is pretty entertaining for the most part. His show is carried throughout various cities in the US, so it is not necessarily "Detroit" based in content. You want "interactive" Hip Hop and R&B, then this is a station you would enjoy. Although I must admit I don't understand why they call it "interactive".

WCBN is the University of Michigan's non-commercial freeform radio station that's run by students…read more What they focus on is bringing things on the radio that you normally wouldn't hear on other stations. My favorite night is late Saturday nights, they usually play some excellent hip hop if you catch it at the right time. By "nomally wouldn't hear", I'm not talking about an obscure noise/basement medley/karaoke cover/whatever-else-obscure 24/7 (though maybe sometimes) fest. For instance, just giving it a listen randomly, they were going over some local events (big kid kickball!) inbetween Kraftwerk and Jean Grae. Currently, my good friend Dustin does Freeform on Thursday nights. He knows a lot about music and is a local musician. I've learned a lot about local music and much more through him, and thanks to him I've opened my scope to being more than a hip hop head. Once, he created an entire playlist for me on my birthday -- one of the coolest birthday gifts, ever. I've also taken a walk through the station itself. It's a great place adorned with decades of history on the walls -- Post-Its, scribbin', photos -- along with a well-loved couch and tech stuff like turntables, cassette decks, reel to reels, amps. Those walls are totally made to house sound. If you're curious about a certain DJ, they playlists are posted online. You can also connect through their website -- no need to sit in the car with the top down and an Icee.

Sorry, but the only cities that actually play a little more real music these days are NYC, Chicago, and Miami. There may be a few others but I don't know them. WJLB just plays the same stuff over and over again. Soulja Boy this, Lil' Wayne that and ending with a lil Ne-Yo's newest single at night. It's just sad, really, I'm a music fiend and I'm from Chicago originally and I get around this nation and I can say that Detroit radio is real bad for a music fiend and WJLB is no exception! In fact what I hate the most is when they time release singles off of the SAME album like months apart just to spread the momentum for the album out. So corporate run! It's not about music at all, it's about album sales. And what's this Kid Cudi's "Day & Nite" being "new on the streets" in April - I had that song like back in December of 2008, lol. It's a shame. The same goes for Channel 955, they're probably the worst at this & "Hot" 102.7. In fact the only station I like that actually plays a variety of music and stays true to its genre is 89X!!!! Detroit, stand up I urge you. Stand up and demand better music. Either that, or use Pandora and download mp3's and make your own CDs.
