Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
Ohio MediaWatch,
I'm in Highland Heights and tried getting the station on several radios with no success. I wonder if they'll create a website.
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
Thanks for the props, Vince!
Raptor-chan, this is being simulcast on regular analog 99.1 FM, known as a "translator" in the biz. Only 250 watts but fairly high above ground on the WMJI tower. Your signal mileage may vary depending on your distance from Parma.
Confirmed just now that tonight, they are running the CC national "Premium Choice" alternative rock "Alt Project" playlist. Compare yourself via iHeartRadio, where CC has conveniently put it up on the Cleveland page next to the 99X feed.
We don't know if they plan to change that use of Premium Choice...our guess is "mostly no, if not entirely".

Ted.....I guess its ok to kill them just not keep them ...oh...ok I get it ..DO as I say not as I do ...close critters in fence so you and your friends can shoot them.Soooo when they come looking to close you down ,and they will Please call on your friends in the exotic industry to help because you know we will come running....Oh wait you burnt that bridge
Re: “Ted Nugent Weighs in on Ohio Animal Issues; Kasich to Sign Executive Order”
I think that ol' Ted here fails to understand that the animals in question were and are NOT wild. They were captive bred and born animals raised by humans. They were NOT taken from the wild. GET IT? Good Lord! Ted... I use to like you... but now...WAAAAY down on my list of priorities to support what you do. I like how you think it is OKAY" for you to go and KILL a WILD animal.. but you think it is not okay for me to keep one in safety and out of harms way from PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
Re: “Ted Nugent Weighs in on Ohio Animal Issues; Kasich to Sign Executive Order”
Animals are Private Property! God gave us all the right to be stewards of the animals. HE did not grant privileges to a select few to profiteer from them. You, Walt Disney, Michael Jackson, Jack Hanna, are all selfish, no good for nothing traitors. You tread on my Constitution, you tread on GOD! You are just another fart in a frying pan traitor, who wants to profiteer from the Tea Party, Americans, and any no good commie with a buck.
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
So this is only available on HD radio? They couldn't make it available for those of us who can't afford one (I'm saving up to move to Florida)? Way to go Clear Channel. Any word on a website by chance?
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
So this station is only available to those with HD radios? Way to go Clear Channel. Not all of us can afford one of those receivers. Anyone know if there's a website for this station?
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
@Bma...I know CleOh radio is SUCH crap...My terrestrial radio listening is almost zero, I stream literally HOURS a day via Pandora, Yahoo and Slacker ect. Local stations would KILL for that kind of loyalty, question is can they deliver on a product that we expect/demand/deserve?
Doubt it...But I for one will give them an honest try...
Re: “All the Downtown Cleveland Cops Are Now Only Policing the Casino”
At Presque Isle Downs in Erie, PA State Police provide security with an actual Police Station within the Casino. It works out great for everyone - no safety issues get short-changed, no off-duty officers working beyond their shift, no officers pulled from one area to augment another, and the HEAT is right there, right NOW.

Re: “WRUW Does NOT Hate Hippies!”
Good grief...Wait till next year then or tell them to kiss off....
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
New, old, whatever...
Cleveland radio in regards to alternative music is atrocious. 100.7 is talk radio 95% of the time I'm in the car. I'd rather have the option than nothing at all, even if it is mislabeled as "new alternative".
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
@Anastasia...Nice job over there getting this out to the masses!!!!I saw the press release when I dug around online a bit....
And it sounds pretty good! Hope they keep the momentum going forward....
Re: “We Get Mail”
Rabble Rabble Rabble!!!
The one thing I hate about the internet is that Scene is the only website I can get news from. If I don't get the information I want, I'm stuck here in internet limbo. If only there were other news sources available to me. But alas, them interwebs are just so small and I'm stuck here reading about the happenings of an unhappening town...Whatever will I do?
Re: “Clear Channel Launches New Modern Rock FM Station in Cleveland”
The Clear Channel press release used the word “new” five times (including the headline), calling itself a "new rock alternative." That Black Keys track was just about the newest thing it played in its first hour, coming from the band’s most recent album, El Camino, released this past December.
The rest of the station’s first hour playlist featured U2’s “Mysterious ways” (1991), Stone Temple Pilots’ “Wicked Garden” (1992), Smashing Pumpkins’ “Cherub Rock” (1993), and Live’s “I Alone” (1994). It also included tracks only a little more than a decade old like Alien Ant Farm’s “Smooth Criminal,” Rage Against the Machine’s “Sleep Now in the Fire,” Fuel’s “Hemorrhage,” and POD’s Alive.” Newer tracks included Fun’s “We Are Young” and Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” currently being played to death at Top 40 radio and so a little hard to dub “alternative.”
The station’s press release also touted the “best new rock alternative music” it’ll be playing: “The Black Keys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Nirvana, and Green Day. It added that the playlist will also include “artists such as Muse, Jimmy Eat World, Young The Giant, Harvey Danger, Gotye, Imagine Dragons and Airborne Toxic Event,” the majority of them newer (although Harvey Danger and Jimmy Eat World will both soon be celebrating their 20th anniversaries) but also mostly affiliated with what remains of major labels – hence hardly “alternative.”

Guess it's only a matter of time now before STO's Katie Witham starts doing the horizontal mambo with a player. Question is...who? LOL
Re: “All the Downtown Cleveland Cops Are Now Only Policing the Casino”
How is working off-duty for the casino "double-dipping"? I get it that it sucks that "all" of the downtown units are concentrating on this newly opened, high visibility venue, but this isn't a reason to bust on the guys & girls on the street...
Re: “Old Lakewood McDonald's to Become Nature's Bin Addition”
I leave Lakewood for a few years (ok 35) and they tear down The Detroit Theater for a Mc Donalds! Next they will be putting Mc Donalds in hospitals. Oh wait, there is one where I work, across from the heart hospital at Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis.
Re: “All the Downtown Cleveland Cops Are Now Only Policing the Casino”
Isn't it blatantly obvious that patrols and attention of this magnitude
Would be expected at least in the short term. I'm sure after the department has an idea of what to expect and the hubbub dies down around the casino's opening less police will be instructed to strictly "protect the casino" . And like every city with minimal budgets and dealing with the squeeze the recession has put on all social services, even police, isn't it a little cynical to pick on officers looking for extra cash working security? Pretty lame attempt at lampooning the easiest target of all, city police. congratulations on one thin though, you've just managed to get me to defend cops!
