9&10. Their logo looks like a giant comma.
Gotcha, thanks.

Re: Jack O’Malley back on the radio

He was the O. M. of WTCM am/fm. Alpena's total budget is equal to the coffee budget in Traverse City. Mid-day is a better shift for sure. WATZ is not run as a dime store operation. The studio is very nice property on Thunder Bay, well manicured lawn and garden. Both studios have been remodeled incl...

Re: Holy shit, 9&10 has a new logo.

The "10" catches my eye first, a few moments later I notice the"9". I don't like it very well but I suppose we will get used to it.

1954, It seems odd to me that WPBN didn't use WMBV-TV (and later, WFRV and WLUK) for at least an alternate NBC feed.
There may have been a time shift problem due to Wisconsin being on central time zone.

Re: WWTV at low power?

There's a banner on 9and10news.com stating that a new antenna has been ordered and will arrive mid-June. The banner on the brewvine web site now states new antenna will be installed week of July 4th... Above is "The Most Accurate And Reliable Forecast" (latest guess) from their site... [/quote] So ...

Re: WWTV at low power?

My off air picture here in T.C. has been bad for over two weeks. Now I get my signal from the repeater site ch. 25 here and it is full of pixels and tearing of the picture. One of the engineers in Cadillac tells me the T.C. repeater uses an off air pickup for ch.25, so the trouble passed on to my fe...

Re: A little late, but...

WTCM always states they're legal ID call letters at the top of the hour. I would presume the other stations also do that as it is required by the FCC, but there is always one that lets it slide out there.

7&4 problems

What's going on with 7&4. They had trouble over the weekend and still not fixed several days later. They have lost local spots and syndicated shows.
The news seems to be shortened and has "filler" programs like Spotlight America instead.

Buy an antenna.
That is what I use. The air doesn't care and is still free.
