Re: Democrats take back control of the house

there should never be ties, either add a 111th member, or have the Lt. Governor break ties like they can in the state senate. Therein lies the issue with this legal gerrymandering law. It focuses more on being fair to the political parties at the expense of actually representing the citizens in the...

Re: News Nation is a Joke

If I need to explain it to you, you might be working too hard to justify why the skit might tarnish NewsNation’s “sterling” image Yes, no doubt everyone who watched that skit had the reaction "Oh man they really burned NewsNation!" What exactly was the burn? That the NewsNation anchor didn't know w...

You know it’s bad when Saturday Night Live equates your national “news” network with a Beavis and Butthead skit… https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/4/14/news-nation-get-the-snl-treatment Nexstar is throwing a lot of money and has very little to show for it.

Re: NPR Senior Editor Blasts Lack of ‘Viewpoint Diversity’ After Leftward Lurch: ‘Open-Minded Spirit No Longer Exists’

I completely agree with this article. I used to be one of the 26% and while I found they skewed left, I thought they made an attempt to just present the facts with as little bias as possible. I noticed them getting increasingly liberal beginning in the run up to the 2016 election. I went from a fre...

Does anyone really believe that WLAV will ever make the top five once again
and with a 5% share or better?
As long as they keep playing the exact same playlist they've had for the last 30 years featuring the same lame overplayed butt rock - no, they will continue to drop into irrelevancy.

Re: Catholic Radio in West Michigan

I really wish Catholic radio offered more in terms of variety than "blah blah blah blah Abortion is evil blah blah blah blah Evil LGBTQ+ agenda blah blah blah blah Pope Francis is too woke" etc. Unfortunately EWTN embraces Church Lady radio and too often gets stuck in culture war mode. Church Ladie...

Re: Whitecaps baseball back on the airwaves

So, that means the audience draw will be consistent with 1340's other programming. :) :rollin :rollin Well hold on, if they normally have 4 listeners, and Whitecaps brings in 4 more - you've doubled the audience!

Re: Whitecaps baseball back on the airwaves

So, two questions remain: why the move back to terrestrial radio, and any other stations carrying the games? (leading into commercial breaks between innings, the announcers still refer to it as the "Whitecaps Baseball Network"). Probably because it's still easier to convince local businesses to adv...

It has to be brokered. I can't think of a minor league team that isn't, unless maybe if it airs on a non-com.
Agreed, they have to be buying the time. Only a deviant would listen to minor league baseball on the radio.
