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...

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

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:

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. The Engineering STA for WPHN 90.5 was filed today: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/draftCopy.html?disp...

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.

WZMQ CBS 19 is teasing a new addition to their roster.
Turns out they've hired longtime U.P. sportscaster Mike Ludlum, and also U.P. veteran TV salesperson Mark Nebel:

Re: recommendation wanted - BASIC cheap FM radio antenna for stereo receiver

Are there any stores still left in the Grand Rapids area that sell these 75/300 ohm adapters, where I can buy them in person? I miss Radio Shack! lol -- I know I can order them super cheap online, but it'd be nice to have a local source where I can purchase and have them immediately, not wait days ...

Re: WADL didnt show the CW ACC football game this past saturday

We have something weird over this way. WLAJ (ABC) and WLNS (CBS) do something of a time share. WLNS runs their news on WLAJ, and WLAJ 53.2 has some kind of alternate CW. Strange stuff. The insight I can offer on the Lansing market's CW situation: * It's a single broadcast stream (on RF14) that prov...
