Re: WDIV off the air?
I was watching WDIV off-air when the screen went dark. Switched over to xfinity and they were there, since they feed comcast via fiber, not OTA, so not comcast's fault, this time.

WBZ's Dick Summer - RIP
I was a frequent, almost nightly listener to Dick Summer's unique shows on WBZ (1030) through the 1960s.

Re: Your Clock May Not Be Accurate
I'm a stickler for punctuality. Accurate time keeping is important to me. Although it seems to be less important to the world at large. Hotel rooms don't even have a clock anymore. They say guests are embarrassed to have a clock in their room. Last few times I've done a hotel stay, there certainly ...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold
They moved to an area with a population boom at the time- a stone’s throw from Lyon Township (Napier is the boundary). It’s the same as when 2 and 7 moved to Southfield in the 50s. I was always under the impression that 2 &7 (and the MSP Northville post) are where they are at because of a ridge of ...

Re: Ridiculousness
McCaskill is awful. Her voice gets way too high and squeaky when reading a story, for absolutely no reason. It’s almost cartoon or teenage male puberty like. [...] Around the same time this afternoon, McCaskill was giving a report about the man who was assaulted with baseball bats. Her chirpy, gidd...

Re: Sleuthing Digital TV Signal Problems
recently , while watching a network local signal thru our Comcast cable, I have seen digital video signal breaking up. (Pixelating) quite often, No way to tell if the on-air signals were also breaking up or it was in the cable system. I am thinking of adding an antenna and a switch to select air or...

Xfinity voiceover
Current flight of Xfinity spots for internet and mobile has a different female voiceover from recent past.
I had really hoped the scratchy "vocal fry" voice thing had gone away, but alas, no.
Once you notice it, you always notice it. Irritating AF.

Re: ATSC 3.0 is unnecessary; numerous 4K, 1080p and 720p streams already possible using a single RF channel in ATSC 1.0!
I hate the idea of another RF transition, IE ATSC 3.0 I like the idea what this guy has done in Eugene. If I was at the FCC, I would ask TV vendors to provide software patches for older sets. Maybe even setup a software group to help do this. Very very few "older sets" are capable of software or fi...

Re: Johnny In The Morning
I rather liked Johnny and Zito. IIRC Johnny had a background in standup, and brought that to the show (with varying degrees of success).
Spike and Sarah I remember from their brief stint on the lamented (by me at least) The Edge 105.1.

Re: "Washington's Proposed Capital Regulations" Huh?
I doubt it would even impact any of the Michigan banks. Was this on CNBC or Bloomberg? I've seen this PAC ad both on broadcast and on cable. No idea if they've bought time on CNBC or Bloomberg. The irritating and misleading thing about it is that it doesn't attribute these Proposed Capital Regulati...

I agree with Ermani on the ballot thing. I don't ever recall having to declare which ballot I wanted in the past, as there was only one ballot.

LOL! Why am I not surprised that incident occurred on channel 62? Ahmad Bajjey is a space and science aficionado.

"Washington's Proposed Capital Regulations" Huh?
A PAC ad is running lately, ranting about "Washington's Proposed Capital Regulations" I for one have no idea what these "proposed regulations" are about, who is pushing for (or against) them. No reference to any specific House or Senate Bill, none of the usual "call Senator/Congressman x and tell th...
