Re: The History of FM Radio
When I was a kid, my dad introduced me to shortwave listening, via a 2 band GE table-top radio. He also had a Granco FM radio, one of the few available at the time, because he knew the "Good Music" he liked was on WLDM and WWJ-FM, plus, "no static at all." I had discovered that WXYZ-FM simulcast 127...

Re: AMP 98.7 flipping!
The few times I've listened to 98.7, I at least didn't hear Imagine Dragons' "Thunder," which on Fault 106.7 seemed to be in a 4x/hour rotation. However, could not avoid Portugal.The Man's "Feel It Still," another 106.7 staple. SXM's alt offerings are far more varied.

Re: Linux: who here uses it?
Apple OS is built on and a proprietary form of Linux. My Chromebook is essentially Linux. Android is Linux based as well. macOS and Darwin kernel is not at all a form of Linux, precedes it by a few years. It is derived from BSD Unix and the Mach kernel, on which Jobs based his NeXTSTEP OS, which th...

Re: Linux: who here uses it?
At the Monday (2/22) press conference with the JPL Mars Perseverance team, the Imaging leader said that a Linux-based computer is being used on the rover, and the image encodes/decodes are done with FFMPEG. First time that open source OS and imaging software have been used for a NASA planetary missi...

Re: Loss of Limbaugh, Retirement Of Beckman And Others, May Force Changes At WJR
I think that this wind turbine freeze and rolling blackouts in Texas are just the beginning of the disasters the Left will create... Do you actually understand what you've said here (parroting the brainiacs on Fox)?? This disaster occurred and was enabled by policies enacted under the owned-by-the-...

Re: Minor format change at WWJ 950
Slightly off-topic - a WWJ blooper:
There was a report today concerning someone accused in a firebombing case.
The newsreader (Brooke Allen maybe), called the device a "Mazel-Tov" cocktail.
Oy vey!

Re: All of SE Michigan except Midland & Bay
"Metro Detroit and downriver" Wow Local 4! I never knew that the name of my beloved downriver region should be lowercase, and here I thought it was a proper noun! Thanks for the grammar lesson! There’s no civic entity or compass point named "Downriver," so, even though it’s a quite foreign zone to ...

Re: WDET / New Transmitter/ Jesus Christ Superstar
Lots of speculative "diagnosis" and "solutions" from armchair engineers here, who have no idea what the actual situation is that might warrant replacement of a transmitter and/or peripheral equipment. How do any of you know if there's "nothing to stop them" from repairs or mods. Gear these days has ...

Every spot for every.single.one of the "sports book" gambling apps. Fanduel, Draft Kings, Twin Spires, Fox Sports, BetMGM, BetRivers, Barstool, William Hill and others yet to be heard from. I'm sure local TV is rejoicing over their massive buys, replacing revenue from the now gone political spots. W...
