Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)
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...

Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire
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.

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
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...

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive
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...

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....

Re: Who the heck is Marc Ryan on 97.1 The Ticket?
Looks like it's expected that he'll be a fill-in wherever needed, per this presser:
https://www.michiganmedia.com/2024/03/2 ... o-wxyt-fm/
Marc with a C, I'm seeing. Not that the difference between the C versus K can be heard on radio.
Cheers!

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.
