Re: Schuerman

I just saw Ron Hilliard doing a news package on a “Custodian of the Year” so he is doing more than just weekend weather.

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

They are not using a green screen for weather graphics, but the weather person stands in front of a monitor and you can see wires coming out of the back. The graphics of a monitor shot with a camera are somewhat blurry, and the contrast is badly adjusted and the whites are blown out. Embarrassing fo...

Re: NBC Nightly News on MeTV

Also saw NBC football coverage on MeTV a little after 7pm.

Where is master control for WDIV-MeTV 4.3?

Was this a case of automation vs. human being or automation vs. automation?

Re: Some drama at Loco 4

Years ago Graham dropped CBS on WJXT-4 their station in Jacksonville Florida to become a top rated, news heavy independent.

Also, could CBS be interested in affiliating with or purchasing WDIV? They don’t seem to be in a hurry to start up their local news on channel 62.

You can now watch the new channel 62 newscast on the air! (well, sort of). The newly hired anchors and reporters are appearing on the 10 o’clock news on co-owned channel 50! I watched the program Wednesday evening, and this is what I saw: Shaina Humphries is anchoring the local content portions of t...

Re: Need some help with a tower array

The transmitter site for WCAR 1090 is in the area, about a mile or mile and a half North of Ford Road, and they have a bunch of towers.

Re: WDET Broadcasting on 101.7 and 102.1

The WDET transmission on 101.7 is also listenable on 101.6 plus causes interference to the WDTK translator on 101.5. WDTK promotes 101.5 as their main frequency. Someone with the time should let WDTK know about this.

Re: 105.5 fm Ave Maria Radio

This translator will not have much coverage on 105.5. There is the CBC French station in Windsor to the Southeast, and a K-Love translator in Rochester Hills to the Northeast. They will be translating WDEO AM 990 in Ypsilanti, which has a sharp null to the East-Northeast to protect CFPL AM 980 in Lo...

Re: Eddie Van Halen dies

101.1 WRIF is also all Van Halen.

Wikipedia is likely to crash with all the disk jockeys across the country looking for stuff to say between the phone calls and Van Halen songs.
