Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?
Their promo for being station of the year featured Bob Tracey as a Voiceover… he was their VO from maybe 1998-2005… when they were “WXYZ 7” and had the slogan “where 7 stand for news”… For a time in the late-1980s to mid-1990s (perhaps earlier), the announcer would simply say "7" in its promos (suc...

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
On the Canadian side, I believe Cogeco carries WMYD, while Bally is not even cleared for carriage by the CRTC. WMYD's expansion of its sports programming would be a boon to viewers on both sides of the river.Art Van Damme wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 12:10 pmWMYD is must-carry over most Metro Detroit cable systems. No OTA for Bally.

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
Early on Wayne Cablevision also carried CBEFT (perhaps the only Michigan system to do so?), and both Wayne Cablevision and Wyandotte also originally had WOR/WWOR until replacing it with WGN sometime in the late 1980s. Maybe because WGN and the Cubs are more relevant to the midwestern region than WW...

Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire
When I visited the site almost 40 years ago, one of the CMU 24/7 42 hour shift engineers who was staying there told me that WPHN was operating from the tower now and that "those Christian guys sure know how to raise money". They also have a team of experts who were committed to getting it back on t...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
I think WNEM had all night movies. At least on weekends, by the late 1970s. There were times around then that I woke up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons, beginning with NBC's on WNEM (as they started around 7AM or 7:30AM at the time), and I would see the end of the last movie before the fir...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
WCMU programming was removed the instant TV 28 left the airwaves. After the closure of WCMZ, it would have been pointless to continue to carry WCMU's programming, especially if CMU was unwilling to provide a signal via fiber. WCMU's main transmitter is in eastern Mecosta County, practically a half ...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
CJIC 5 (CBC) was the only Canadian signal carried on cable there in the '80s and '90s. CKPR 2 (then CBC) and CHFD 4 (then CTV) from Thunder Bay were carried in some Western U.P. communities in the '70s and '80s. I think only CBMT is carried up there now. CJIC would be sold to the CBC in 2002, becom...

Re: Now, this is weird! (involves 91.3 WGTE)
WGTE should be licensed to Sylvania, OH. Old-timers will understand this reference. Did GTE (the phone company) and Sylvania (the electronics corporation) used to be related to one another? [...] Sylvania made some darn good TVs in the 80s. IIRC WGTE was callsign-speak for "Greater Toledo Education...

Re: Bell Media to sell 45 radio stations.
The CRTC cracked down on 101.1 from Fort Erie over this when it was CHR, and 1220 CHSC was shut down for not ceasing that practice after being warned about it. As I recall, the issue was 101.1 being operated by an American company and originating most (or all) of its programming from the U.S. side ...

Re: Bell Media to sell 45 radio stations.
On a related note, Bell's CTV has also cancelled its noon (except Toronto) and weekend (except Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa) newscasts, and will also be changing W5 from a longtime news magazine to a feature on its nightly national newscasts.

Re: ThisTV now coming to Ch 12.7
This TV used to be old TV shows and movies from the MGM library -- now, it's the same crap you can get anywhere else.
