Re: Does anyone have a polka show in Detroit?
Wyandotte Connex channel 15 still runs an old polka show a couple times a day. Newest episodes of that show appear to be from about 2005.

WXYZ preempts part of MLB playoff game
According to someone on the 506 Sports Discord, WXYZ did not air the 3 PM hour of ABC's MLB playoff game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Saint Louis Cardinals, preempting it for a couple of infomercials. I am shocked WXYZ decided to do this, but if this was for make-goods reasons I wouldn't be...

Re: Metro Detroit cable lineups, April/May 1994
No Flint channels, other than WFUM, on the cable system in Fenton?!! That surprises me. Also surprised to see WTVG and WTOL unavailable on cable in Monroe. "Lineups are incomplete in order to fit into the sizes of the TV Books, so some certain cable networks, as well as out-of-market stations, have...

WBKB adds NBC
As of yesterday, WBKB's 11.2 subchannel switched from Fox/MNTV to NBC, with Fox/MNTV moving to a newly-created 11.4 subchannel. Not only does this give Alpena a complete set of network affiliates, but this also gives NBC the distinction of being the first network in television history to gain affili...

Re: WJMN dumping CBS?
Another theory: CBS was fed up with the excessive airtime of commercials for the numerous regular/Native American casinos across the UP and northern Wisconsin, on top of the numerous online casino and sports betting ads that also air on every other station in Michigan, during local time during CBS S...

Re: WJMN dumping CBS?
Two things baffle me about this: 1., by how sudden this situation is, and 2., why didn't WZMQ put CBS on the main channel and instead continue running Me TV on 19.1.

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?
When they bring back news, is it going to be just evening (6 and 11 pm), or will they also have morning news as well? They could do both. I believe they might start out with just 6 and 11. Some additional proof: 62 cut out one of the Family Feud airings at noon (to make room for 25 Words or Less, d...
