Ed was CE at WJR, but Hal Buttermore was CE at 96.3. Ann Delisi did a shout-out to Hal on her show this past weekend. In his day, Hal always had the station sounding great. Word among other engineers is that he had some wicked matrix processing going on, of which I do not know make, model or detail...

Specs Howard did a good job teaching the skills to people who had the talent. But they also did some dodgy shit, including publishing the names of people who were hired in the industry but didn't attend Specs Howard, as successful graduates. Do tell! What are the details here? Happened late 80's th...

Maybe not get in any trouble that the police have to be called..

We can work on that after black people no longer get the police called on them for such egregious offenses such as, walking.

If that isn't enough digital sloth in the trough, I'd read that they're looking for a way to put DRM audio on HDTV signals, most likely in the version 3.0 ? They have it. The DRM can require connection to the internet, which means that the TV stations will be pimping out viewer metadata and subscri...

All of this is a result of the Department of Education starting to come down on highly specialized certificate schools. The nature of the beast is that very few of the graduates will ever find work in broadcasting, and that reflects poorly when it comes to permit the school for accepting grants and ...

Let me see if I copy this correctly. Whitmer is a witch if she closes things down, but she's also a witch when she opens things up and cases explode?

You copied correctly.

So aside from fall into a hole, what exactly is she supposed to have done that would be seen as appropriate?

No station is going to want to pay someone to keep a thirty year old transmitter running, even if they can find parts or someone talented and motivated enough to make what's available work. It might happen if the station is on the ropes, but then it is probably just prolonging the inevitable dirt na...

Here's another problem with that: Steve KNOWS the music. The guy had some great breaks about the artist, the song, some kind of background about it. He's exactly what you would want from a jock. However, that doesn't seem to be the order of the day anymore. Plug your contest, tell some dumb "news" ...

So you’re saying lack of skill won’t matter they’ll just eat it up? I don't think for a moment that Trump isn't skilled enough to pull off a radio show. He's a showman with no problem being in the spotlight with a microphone in front of his face. I believe he'd be the ultra-conservative equivalent ...

I'd vote for Mark Steyn or Laura Ingraham, who hasn't done a regular daily radio show for awhile. My choice is to move Mark Levin to noon. Laura gave up her radio show to focus her full attention on her TV show. I doubt if Mark Steyn would do that job full time. Rush came across the air in a strong...

Yesterday WDIV bumped jeopardy For the State Of The City Address. However it was broadcasted at 3:30, between an infomercial and NBC's Early News. Channel 4 used to simply skip the episode every time something like this happen, but since Alec Trebek died Jeopardy has got more attention. I remember ...

The left has politicized meteorology to the point the models selected by these ham-and-eggers are based on Goreist ideas and not what they should have learned in class. To hell with them! I'll do better with my Farmer's Almanac and a look out the window. I own salt, shovels, and sweaters so whateve...

WDIV needs to bring Chuck back out of retirement........

Chuck's forecasts were largely written by Paul Gross.

I say bring PASS back. $9.95 a month to watch all of our teams stink it up! That is probably the quality level you’re going to see. Sinclair is already running the network with the same attention to pennies as Post-Newsweek did when Pass was at its mid-90’s zenith. Covid hasn’t helped, and I suspec...
