It's no secret that Dayna Polehanki is stupid. But maybe someone should tell her that the gimmick of heel wrestlers is to insult the local audience.
She called him a jabroni. Her comment was firmly tongue-in-cheek.

If you're gonna have a hit, you gotta make it fit. So they cut it down to 3:05.

Re: Christmas Is Here

I'm guessing you are correct that the change happened after Christmas 2001. Good time to change your ID after doing Christmas for a couple of months. Anecdotal at best, but this old version of their Wikipedia article from 2007 seems to imply that the name change was done simultaneously with the cha...

Re: Christmas Is Here

People complain about low rating stations that do nothing to improve their ratings, then they complain about stations that change to improve their ratings! It's a good move for them, but it's a polarizing one, obviously. I think the biggest criticism I have of Christmas stations is that their playl...

I’m going to throw one out there that has some baggage but I always liked his work on football and baseball… Thom Brennaman Some baggage... the word "some" is doing a lot of work there.

Re: Fox 17 morning news expanding

Everyone: "Duurr, I wish stations would air more local content" Fox 17: "OK, here you go " It's not more local content, though. It's the same amount of local content, stretched to fill more time. Sprinkle in a sponsored segment from Service Professor, and you've got yourself 7 hours of microwaved s...

Starting with iCarly, Jerry O'Connell always came across like an odd fit on everything I seen him in. Like who ran the casting call?
Are you getting him confused with Jerry Trainor?

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

What a disgraceful move to let go of Luke Stier and Madeline Odle. And, as mentioned, Amy Fox's name might have been on the memo, but it was written at Stanton Tang's direction.

I didn't think Nexstar could find a way to mess things up worse than they already were, but lo and behold...

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

The memo did not say to run disparaging stories or to avoid further pride month-related stories altogether. It did state a faction of the viewing audience was uneasy with the volume of such reports that had already aired. There are two issues here: The first is the directive to show "both sides" of...

Re: WOMC playing 2000s songs

And we need to get some modern Elton John on there. "Something About The Way You Look Tonight" from 1997 is the highest selling single of all time in both the US and UK. I know this comment's a few months old, but Something About The Way You Look Tonight didn't chart #1 because it was Elton John's ...
