Back when people were doing this, I used to get reports from South Ill. on our AM-580 station as well as many from Finland, all always at our night time power of 500 watts. Never of our 50k daytime power. Now days the internet has done away with most of the hobby.

If they were thinking of a flash cut, it'd be different filings with the FCC. They still could do that--there's no penalty for not seeing through an approved construction permit document.

Interesting info. Sorry but I could not get your link to work.

Looks like they are now broadcasting in 480p hd digital on cable for Mi TV 12. Feeds a little choppy and so is news net(formerly minews 26) but the quality is really good now compared to Its Analog feed.

I noticed this a few days ago. Still needs some work but much better than before.

I am certain he would rather be home than in a hospital bed in freezing cold Grand Rapids.

They probably have heat in the hospital.

I am a fan of that movie and have watched it many times didn't know those people were in it. Thanks, nice find.

CKLW was famous for doing this.

It could be that CKLW did this, but I never noticed it at age 17. CKLW used to piss off the Cleveland broadcasters by being at or near the no. 1 ratings. It came into Cleveland like a strong local signal and everybody had a button on the car radio set to "CK"

How old are you guys? This has been going on since the '60's when DJ's would wrap a file folder label on the turntable capstan to speed up the record. Faster they go, the more they could play. I'm 68 and didn't hear this on the Cleveland stations I grew up with. Your turntable trick would be very a...

Some of the stations in the TC area squeeze the music. It plays faster without changing pitch. Anyone who knows the music will notice the pace has changed, and the song ends early. It is an awful part of processing that ruins the the work of the original artist. If they wanted it that fast they woul...

Thanks for the replies guys. I tried to watch Emergency this morning but it was rolling a lot,twitching and flashing. It wasn't bad yesterday but still not even close to todays cable quality as you see on all the other Spectrum channels.

Whats with WXII? On Spectrum cable in TC they have flashing, lines, and bars in the picture. Also sound is bad, and sounds out of phase. Cosi TV net. has some good shows on but are un-watchable.

I'd like to see a section on towers and tower lighting including AM, FM, and TV all in one place. thank you.

Bill has been doing coverage from the scene, and the occasional fill in at the news desk.

I watch 9-10 news every day. I was bummed to see Larry King hawking some cheap pills as a substitute. We don't get WNEM in TC, would be nice.

Anyone know what type of antennas that those whips sticking out. How did they work, and what was the frequency used. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F5M-QinwmdKc%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5M-QinwmdKc&docid=Bqllx6jZy...

Ok thanks. I'll try it. Where are you guys putting up pictures? I used to use photobucket but they charge to use it now. imgur is popular (Google it) - though I haven't used it myself. imgbb is free, doesn't require an account - I've used that easily, but it's not necessarily a recommend. Again - Go...
