Comcast vs. Ch 6

The usual agro between broadcast and cable. CBS Channel 6 is running ads complaining about Comcast threatening to drop them. Nothing on CBS Ch 5 about this, so it just may be local, but I guess it's that time of year. Unless it cuts into their cable fees, why don't these stations do spots about DIY ...

Employee's in this day and age are only necessary evils. “Be kind to everyone on the way up; you’ll meet t...

I don't think they can function with where they're at.

I'm almost thinking they should consider merging their Michigan stations into one broadcast. Maybe call it Michigan News

According to public records, former ABC12 anchor, Cheri Hardmon, filed for bankruptcy at least four times and failed to file taxes multiple times, too. She was also sued for not paying rent.
The people who voted for Trump should flock to her then.
