Re: Potential for major severe weather outbreak tomorrow (Wednesday)
NOAA Weather with Android, I haven't found anything close with Apple. There isn't anything on IOS worth a crap since Apple killed Dark Sky. Their own integration is so unreliable for text warnings, I built my own system to send me and the old lady SMS messages for AWIPS sourced alerts. It works lik...

Re: I guess local TV stations no longer broadcast weather warnings?
I honestly think the NWS and the media outlets dropped the ball. I wouldn't say dropped the ball, the storm looked deceptively tame. I was a few miles to the west of the path and the only clue was hail that looked like the tiniest of sleet pellets and a sudden torrent of rain. The usual signs just ...

Re: I guess local TV stations no longer broadcast weather warnings?
Most stations have a computer system that requires manually triggering the mapping or ticker. This is something every weather team has fought against but is a byproduct of the supplier of all the weather systems. Unfortunately until something large happens and nothing is triggered it won't change h...

Re: Mock Draft Radio
Any discussion on any draft other than the position of the draftees is utterly and completely awful listening experience. It is like a bunch of 7-Eleven counter workers discussing cars at a bar in the 1970s'. "Yeah, that one has a four barrel carb stock with aspirated fluegenatar and an enhanced cou...

Re: WOMC HD WYCD HD
How many times do broadcasters need to learn the lesson that modulation standards backed by licensed technology fail adoption? C-QAM Kahn FM-X …and now this? Surprise, now the auto manufacturers are yanking AM from their radios. These people at C level positions in broadcasting are not too bright.

Re: Bally Sports has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
If I were major league sports team management, I'd be shitting myself on how I'm going to make player payroll.
The pay TV gravy train is over, and I don't think each league will be able to command $30 per month for streaming.

Re: WOMC HD WYCD HD
That would be something if they all bailed on it, what a colossal waste of money and opportunity. Terrestrial radio keeps pissing away chances to remain relevant and instead leaps toward a national radio monoculture in an attempt to combat personality driven streaming and podcasts. Rake around it an...

Re: Family Life Radio WUFL To Transfer To Relevant Radio
Sounds like the switch to Relevant Radio has taken place. I'm hearing their programming on the 94.3 translator right now, which is broadcasting in monaural (good decision). Makes you wonder if FLR broadcasted in monaural if they would have made difference in staying in the market. Females cannot st...

Re: Some drama at Loco 4
With Ashlee and Kim I think its safe to say WDIV has the best looking weather team. When you're wringing out your suit jacket after sitting in the stands at a graduation ceremony that was elected to be held outdoors due to Detroit's "best looking weather team", thank your weather moms. They are not...

Re: 93.1 has one of the worst "country" music playlists I've ever seen
Contemporary country music is perhaps among the worst genres with absolutely zero creativity and zero effort. I find it amazing that anyone that likes country music actually listens to that garbage.

Re: Paul Gross Retiring from WDIV
Paul would likely still be a meteorologist at Local 4 had the New Director down there hit “reply all” discussing Paul’s contract terms. Ha! That would not be the first kerfuffle at WDIV thanks to staff inability to use email. They've inadvertently sent highly confidential information out into the w...

Re: Trouble at Bally Sports
I think streaming has had its day with the likes of Disney & Netflix chopping jobs and cutting costs. Now that the initial surge in subs has ended they can't spend like they used to. Turns out the extra few dollars subscribers can pay to skip ads doesn't come close to covering the ad revenue tradit...

Re: Trouble at Bally Sports
The days of milking pay TV subscribers whether they watched sports or not are drawing to a close. Given how the NHL has turned the game into a medium to display live ads on the boards, I think they're all going to either resort to streaming their own and/or putting it back on broadcast. It was alway...
