Cool - thanks for sharing!!!

"Cool", as in the radio station, or "cool" as in "that's great"?

Channels will be listed here as they get announced: https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=network_search&network=Me-TV+Toons WJRT will probably carry it, three months later than everyone else. As This TV is disappearing from many markets (including, apparently, WJRT), maybe MeTV Toons will...

Doing errands this morning I was listening to CKWW in the car- It sounded worse than ever - thin, tinny, shrill. Just a bunch of distorted treble. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten to the bottom of this. I've listened to them for years so I know what it should sound like. Considering that the stat...

As bad as Trump is he is still better than the alternative. It sucks that these are our choices. You may easily regret this opinion. Trump has a rap sheet as thick as the 1985 Manhattan Yellow Pages. Before him, many politicians and leaders had their careers ruined with much, much less. Would you v...

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...

WMYD is must-carry over most Metro Detroit cable systems. No OTA for Bally.

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.

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...

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...

But did you alert the governor?

Damn, I knew I forgot someone.

"Is Don on the phone?" (Google "AT40 dead dog tape".)

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

what were your answers?

You won't get any -- the poster's account has been deleted.

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 ...
