Re: WADL didnt show the CW ACC football game this past saturday

I just checked each of WDIV's subchannels and none of them are airing CW programming. I sense a nasty lawsuit coming out of this (and especially since Nexstar's WJMN abruptly yanked CBS off last year).

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.
