I wish they had some sports news on the 6:00 newscast like the old days.

Colette Boyd is constantly moving her hands too. It gets to be very distracting.

Re: Broadcasting burnout
Yep, their digital desk or some type of branding like that. WNEM is having Christina Burkhart launch their live streaming one-person desk. Mid-Michigan NOT Now! recently launched their desk and just hired a Lansing reporter named Kyle Makin to anchor their live desk. Because adding on a self-direct...

Re: Michigan cord cutting accelerates; cable customers fall 13% in 2023
AT&T's sales whores have descended upon Costco, harassing store customers, in an effort to compel them to sign up for AT&T Fiber and/or AT&T Wireless. I endured one such encounter yesterday as I was walking down the main aisle. I hate it when Costco lets these sales reps into its stores. It's one r...

Re: Former TV5er Blasts Media
I've noticed that TV5 doesn't even send a reporter to Lansing anymore. They just rely on reports from a local Lansing station instead.

WLUN 100.9 Changing Formats?
There's some scuttlebutt on Facebook that 100.9 WLUN is being sold and changing format away from sports. This is the radio station owned by the Great Lakes Loons and an affiliate of ESPN. Has anyone else heard this?

Re: Scot Johnson Out
I wonder if Scot got tired of the lack of support for sports at TV5. Other than Friday Night Lights and the 11:00 news, they offer very little in sports coverage. I think I once heard that their GM is of the opinion that people can catch the scores on the internet. Using that logic, we can also get ...

Re: Local news expansion
Lansing can't support a 4PM newscast why it is only 30 minutes and couldn't support 2 & half hours of news 4PM to 6:30PM. I believe that WWMT will start up a 4PM newscast in the fall Dr. Phil moves to sister station CW7 which already airs Dr. Phil at 10AM to 11AM. Or maybe they pair Kelly Clarkson ...

Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk
At one time before Fox sold the reginal sports networks, the Illitch family was looking to start their own sports channel for the Detroit/Michigan market. I believe historically Fox Sports Detroit has pulled in decent ratings.

Re: Sports journalism recruiting
On the 6:00 TV5 news tonight they had a story about tomorrow night's Spirit game but were showing Firebirds highlights in the background. The only connection was they were playing the Spirit in the highlights.

Re: Sports journalism recruiting
No sports again last night at 11:00 on TV5. Saturday and Sunday are the busiest sports days of the week.
