Enough with the damn 'whole body deodorant' ads. Any of 'em. “Wanna know a secret? More than just my armpits stink...” Yeah. You stink "EVVVerywhere..." Be certain that these companies are making a mint on tools with low self-esteem who are convinced that using more of what was already an over-price...

That 'all you can eat shrimp' wasn't such a great idea after all?

If you happened to tune into CBS's broadcast of Billy Joel's concert in New York a few weeks ago, that was Sanborn on Sax.

I saw most of the show (almost twice), but must have missed Sanborn. All of the sax I saw was being handled by Joel's regular sax player, Mark Rivera.

Stupifying.


Still makes a great sammy freaky fast.

Sounds like you’ve been here before.

Now what would give anyone that idea?

Katelyn Davis is gone as well.

That’s a shame.

I hope it’s because she found something better out there…. She gave the impression she was a hard worker with a sense of humor and pride in her work.

Ah, geez. Where’s that stank when someone may kinda sorta want it to weigh in?

Tandy's intro keyboard riffs were signature to ELO's breakout hit "Evil Woman" in the mid-70's.

They seemed to have their way with WLS' Optimod back then, too...

What's next? A 5-day suspension because someone sitting next to the kid who farted in class took offense to it?



What's the average salary of a word cop these days?

Or… hire more journalists and pay them a living wage. AI rewrites don’t solve the problem of not having real coverage of local issues. Sure sounds like a solution. Let's all know which stations(s) you buy and/or manage and apply it to. Meanwhile, suggested rewrites to keep a story fresh could be do...

Instead of running the same story, using the exact same verbiage, 17 times in 4 newscasts per day, perhaps they can do with AI what they refuse or are too lazy to do manually - refresh rewrites.

If so: AI - bring it!

Call it Freudian slip or TDS, I found the end of the OJ story published by the LA Times on Apple News yesterday amusing...

All that's missing is the magnifying glass...

Same room as has always been used for in-station reporting when not in studio - just a new name as described by the banner and reporter.

It doubles as being a more honest description.

...and Abitibi (& its successor(s) including DPI), used to provide a fair number of jobs for the Alpena area. No more. So maybe the new owners have buyer's regret, and combined with a local economy down on its luck, have to make cuts - not just because they want to eliminate local news. Sheesh. BTW ...
