Re: Weather reporting

I suspected it might've been sudden. If there was any lead time on the tornado warning (if even minutes), then the NWS did a good job. I was up late watching some online coverage. The guys there noticed it spin up on radar and it probably was about 2 minutes after that when NWS issued the tornado w...

Re: Stoney

I remember listening to the Sunday Sports Albom back in the day thinking whoever this other guy is, he's so much better than the little scab, Mitch. I listened to Sunday Sports Albom religiously back in the day, and always thought the best weeks were when Mitch was on assignment for the Free Press....

Re: WTF?> WDIV F*cks up NBC news feed on 4.3, again.

Late Night on Friday 1/12, while the snow and ice was flying and before Xfinity went out on me, I channeled past MeTV (298/4.3), and it was simulcasting the Tonight Show, in some bizarre aspect ratio, instead of regular MeTV fare. They just can't get that sh*t right. Yes, at 12:35 I switched over t...

Re: Detroit Lions 2023

So I'm trying to figure this out now. If I'm correct, if Detroit wins, they would get a 2nd round home game against the winner of the Bucs-Eagles game IF the Packers beat the Cowboys. If the Cowboys in, then Detroit would go on the road to Dallas. Correct. The 49ers will play the worst team remaini...

Re: Ken Calvert, R.I.P

I began listening to CSX semi-regularly when he was hired for afternoon drive there. I want to say that was 2000 or 2001? The station started sounding better around that time (it was a very weak sauced classic rocker before then). I was very impressed by how good he sounded in that time slot. Who d...

Re: Pat Sajak retiring

Who will replace Vanna when she retires? Will they be able to get along with Ryan? How about the lovely Maggie Sajak? She makes a promotional appearance on every show. It would not surprise me. I believe Pat is staying on for two more years as a consultant with the show, he can pull some strings.

Re: WJR, boring programming

Help me understand How is a #16 rated station a ‘cash cow’. WJR is sold on emotion, not ratings. As you yourself said, older listeners reminiscing. Older reminiscing advertisers who've been buying Paul W. etc. for years keep them in business. Sports probably brings in the most coin though. Maybe Ma...

How embarrassing that you're clinging to this bullshit and don't have the guts to admit it is because you know Harbaugh has built a powerhouse. Marriotti??

Most people have no clue about railroads.

The WNDU reporter doing their live shot called the lead locomotive the first car.

Trains can run at 110mph out there. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt.
Does Amtrak run at 110mph?? What speed does the Acela line run at?

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

This actually kinda sucks for me, because "Whose Line is it Anyway" is the only show on a "Big 5" network that I watch. Lucky for me, at least I can get WTVG. Yes! I agree. Love me some Whose Line. I saw an interview with Drew Carey where he said that he still gets approached more by people wanting...

Re: Drew Lane interview

Thanks to the plethora of videos surfacing on YouTube, I've found myself turning to classic D&M clips and shows while I work. While I loved the show during its run, what does it say about current morning shows when I would rather listen to clips from a show that's been defunct for a decade? I have ...

Mayim Bialik will not be hosting for the time being, choosing to stand in solidarity with the writers. It’s all Ken Jennings for who knows how long. Even if the strike ended tomorrow, Jeopardy tapes like 6 weeks in advance.

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

I wonder who his replacement will be. Some suggestions, although 99% sure that none of this will happen: *Spike, formerly of Channel 955. *Chuck Gaidica. He was at WOMC in 2011. *Kevin O’Neill. He was there in 1988-1989. *Dr. Don Carpenter *Jim Paolucci *Dave Fuller *Jim Harper Kevin, Paolucci, and...
