Re: Bajjey Gone

You seem to be obsessed over Sinklair. Get over it. You will live a happier life. I’m just glad none of you are Flint police detectives!

Re: Bajjey Gone

It was a nice send off tonight for Ahmad. He’s one of the nicest guys on and off the screen. It’s too bad Flunt is losing talent like him and Brad, but bigger and better opportunities call.

Re: Bajjey Gone

Tonight is Ahmad’s last day at WEYI. He’s still not saying where he’s going to…. But the rumor remains it’s CBS 62 in Detroit…

Re: No Local News ON ABC12 First At 4

Another reason why Allen Media isn’t investing in its stations… Byron is rumored to want to purchase the now shuttered Black News Channel

Re: Again, Mid-Michigan Now for the win!

WEYI-WSMH is #3 & 4 — by a large margin. It’s not even close. While 25/66 may have some newscast story wins, what they don’t have is ratings or revenue. It does seem lately that WJRT is in a race to the bottom. Their lack of leadership and vision is killing them. The answer seems to be pretty clear,...

Re: No Local News ON ABC12 First At 4

It’s all about reducing programming costs. Bryon Allen has lots of low budget/low cost programs that are cheaper for WJRT to air than it would be to purchase new shows. Sinclair has programming like The National Desk it can use to fill. Gray is building its own movie and production facility in Georg...

Re: No Local News ON ABC12 First At 4

Be careful whitebalance… or Soundchaser will start calling you “Stinkliar” for daring to criticize ABC12. The problem that WJRT has is exacerbated by decisions made more than a decade ago. When Oprah left, 12’s managers decided to launch a new 4pm newscast. It wasn’t a bad idea. Costs to produce loc...

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing

Soundchaser: You don’t seem to disagree with my observations about how bad our local stations have become. If that makes me the new Sinklair in your mind, so be it. Fact is so many ABC12ers have left the station recently because of Denise, Skip, and others. If you want to confirm that, just ask arou...

Re: Ripping off Tigers fans

The price is either $20 per month or $190 for the year. Given that all three Detroit-area teams aren’t winners, it just doesn’t seem worth it. This is another example of how the Sinclair Broadcast Group is a terrible company. They overpaid for the FSN Regionals and when the company initially lost mo...

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing

Sounds like Sinklair may have a point. Not sure how you’re expected to effectively cover the community you serve or participate in community events if you live in another market an hour plus away. Even so, getting out of ABC12 is a good career move these days.

Re: Mid-Michigan Now smokes ABC12 and WNEM coverage of downtown Holly Fire.

ABC12 has so many spelling and grammatical errors on its website that it’s hard to read. On the Holly story, Rachael’s story on Holly residents “devested” after massive fire destroys memory filled businesses. Use the CMS’s spellcheck! https://www.abc12.com/news/top-stories/holly-residents-devested-a...

Re: Coverage of Jan. 6 Hearings

SJL/Lilly was a disaster. 12 still hasn’t recovered from the loss of Harris (Bill and Chris), Feick, Toldo, Profitt, and many others.
