Dear John was a pleasure of a show. I’m surprised more early 90s sitcoms haven’t caught on elsewhere. I think they still play the reruns on AntennaTV Some quick research uncovered for me that indeed Nexstar's diginets carry the Dear John reruns. AntennaTV (WDIV 20-2 RF32 in the Detroit market; WXMI...

Is CMU committed to putting WCML and WCML-FM back on the air soon? Seems like they could do what WPHN has, at least for the FM. It sounds like the antennas weren't damaged. Still haven't heard about the damage to the actual towers.... Hello Ben Zonia and All, MAB (Michigan Association of Broadcaste...

FYI: MAB (Michigan Association of Broadcasters) posted this news item regarding the intended transaction as one of their Friday articles: https://www.michiganmedia.com/2024/05/10/goodrich-sells-wprr-am-grand-rapids/ Really not much more said than what can be read in the applications.

Same topic--with new FCC filings today. The WPRR AM 1680 and associated Translator W273DD FM 102.5 existing authorizations are the subject of an Assignment from Goodrich Radio to Ghettothropic, LLC (owned 51% by Tyrone Bynum and 49% Portia Bynum).

The outage Tuesday morning (April 30) was under 3 hours, per what WOOD TV surmised from Facebook posts: https://www.woodtv.com/news/grand-rapids/cut-fiber-optic-cable-forces-wgvu-off-the-air/ My TV Live Bandscan history shows it in red, as apparently there was undecodable content (or no content) bei...

Uh, hold on folks, TVNewsCheck reports that WJMN is being sold to Sullivan's Landing LLC, not Morgan Murphy [ unless THIS is a shell company of Morgan Murphy] WJMN-TV Escanaba, MI — PRICE: $1,500,000 BUYER: Sullivans Landing LLC (Ralph Oakley, sole member/manager) SELLER: Nexstar Media Group (Perry...

One of the conditions of the FCC's approval was that the station may only air programming from Nexstar 15% of the time, this includes affiliation with CW, NewsNation, and all programming sources provided, produced, procured, or owned by Nexstar. And this applies to multicast streams too. Which mean...

Marquette's likely next. ABC 10's newscasts are the weakest of the four TV news operations there. Some of the on-air talent is indescribably bad. The fact Marquette now has 4 separately run TV newsrooms is crazy to begin with. For years, TV 6 was the only choice (channel 3 would simulcast WFRV's ne...

Hello All, I just happened to notice this FCC filing this morning: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/views/public/assignmentDraftCopy?displayType=html&appKey=25076ff38e9afacf018e9b0b32ba004f&id=25076ff38e9afacf018e9b0b32ba004f&goBack=N Pending FCC approval, Nexstar is selling WJMN RF32 vir...

Splouge, I agree...and the POSSIBLE reason it's now doomed, 4 letters..W P I X "PIX11" in NYC ... Hi All, I personally agree with the assessment that the FCC action regarding how WPIX is owned by Mission but as the sidecar to Nexstar is what has kept the FCC from approving the WADL sale to Mission....

I had missed this presser late last month, but it entirely confirms that Amanda & Blake are the go-forward duo for the weeknight WOOD TV 8 News at 7pm:

Looks like it's expected that he'll be a fill-in wherever needed, per this presser:

Marc with a C, I'm seeing. Not that the difference between the C versus K can be heard on radio.

WPHN 90.5 is back on the air with an STA. The signal seems weaker, but is still coming in adequately 35 miles away. Don't know the details of the STA, location, ERP, or HAAT. The Engineering STA for WPHN 90.5 was filed today: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/draftCopy.html?disp...

Temps are in the low 70s in west Michigan, where a winter weather advisory was just issued for tomorrow! LOL ... Not to distract everyone too much, but I'll share that I was texted at work by my 10 year old at home in Northern Kent County asking me if I could advise where in the garage there is a g...

Hi smallwonder, MW & All, Currently 41.x WOTV on RF17 provides: 41.1 ABC [HD 720p] 41.2 dabl 41.3 CHARGE! 41.4 Local weather radar and NOAA weather radio dabl is also available in market on 64.6 WLLA on RF22.
