Aspire is distributed by Comcast and is only on cable, AFAIK. It was started up and owned by Earvin "Magic" Johnson. It's great that they run "In Living Color," a groundbreaking and (mostly) very funny show. When I see on the cable guide that it's on, I pretty much have to watch it. It's also avail...

A spinning wheel on a car always squealed, even on a dirt road.

Aspire ( https://aspire.tv/ ) is one I like to watch, but I have only seen it on cable/directv/etc., so I'm not sure if they do broadcast TV. Their programming is aimed for a black audience and being white I enjoy it also (it's currently my favorite channel). Aspire airs older programs such as (The)...

I'm not sure if all of the McCluskey stations made it to the air. Interesting W209BR 89.7 Columbia Township is not mentioned. If I recall correctly, it was a translator for WAQQ. WJKQ's transmitter was located in a barn behind an old farmhouse, not quite where it was supposed to be at. WJCQ, I can't...

This phenomenon is frequently found on FM receivers where you have two tuned to the same station. The oscillator from one radio mixes with a strong nearby signal and you can hear it all over the dial. But it requires both signals to be quite strong. I've read about this where a neighbor in an apart...

It Is Well With My Soul performed by Crystal Lewis. She really puts herself into this hymn.

Xfinity On Demand has some freebies also. I've been watching The Bernie Mac Show via On Demand, Aspire (M-F 4-6pm and Wed 8-midnight), and also on Bounce (not sure of the schedule for this channel). I have also been watching (The) Mod Squad recorded from Aspire (M-F 9-10am), since I'm at work when t...

I had connected the antenna cable to the USB WinTV-HVR stick about 2 minutes before the strike. I saw the flash of lightning and heard immediate thunder, then thought the strike was really close. I looked at the laptop and saw it wasn't running. After several restarts Windows (8.1) fixed itself. Dur...

I don't know the story behind the West Branch station why they are off the air. Over Memorial weekend a bad thunderstorm went though and lightning struck my 40' tower, causing damage to my laptop and popping a circuit breaker (neighbors witnessed the strike). WURO may have had the same storm knock t...

As a kid I was told to not eat yellow snow...apparently this applies to yellow ice cream too (especially vanilla).

The only HD AM station that sounded good to me was KMOX 1120 (St. Louis, MO). When the HD locked in, the station had a nice rich sound almost as good as AM stereo.

Good channel! We had it at Houghton Lake on WURO TV18 (Roscommon) until they went off the air over Memorial weekend. WURO was still off the air this last weekend. It was also carried on their sister station in West Branch, and that has been off the air for over a year now. Hopefully the stations wil...

WIBM 94.1/1450 in Jackson back when they were oldies, would announce that name of a song to be played later that day. First caller to call in when hearing the song won $$$. One day the AM DJ (I forgot his name), upset that he never got to play the winning song, decided to play it 3 times. He was qui...

Bryce, beautiful dog! I meant to say that in my previous post, sorry about that. Our dog (Molly, actually, my wife's) is a rescue from a puppy mill, where she was abused. Molly is a chihuahua/papillon mix and we have had her for nearly 10 years. She is afraid of men and spreads out her front legs wh...
