Don't tell FOX 2... Dunbar could be a genuine horse's ass at times, especially at that point when he knew he was leaving for better things in other markets and would never return to Detroit. Regardless of that, he was and probably remains, a great on-air talent. But that guy on Fox 2, he's special....

Then we have Fox making DJ 's into morning news anchors. https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/personality/doug-dunbar/ Started on air at a class A FM in Monroe, then to WCZY. Landed in DFW quite a long time ago. Was that intentional or accidental on your part? Intentional, I just left off the "not the first...

I usually avoid terrestrial radio because the programming is so depressingly awful, but tuned in to WRIF out of curiosity. Good grief, how can the audio be this variable? I don't think it is a matter of someone mucking with processing settings, the source material is just fubar. Commercial levels ar...

Lauren Podell was the co-winner, not Ms. Baracy. Good grief, I forgot about that mess. I think that is correct, now that you mention it. Baracy was the chief meteorologist at the #1 news station in a significant TV market. She might be better at this than you think. There are plenty of on-air weath...

Very fitting that the WWJ-TV calls are being used on an also-ran of a station today given how crappy channel 4 was during the 70s.

They're working on replicating that.

Ashlee is a great hire for WDIV. Hopefully she lands weekday mornings. I am unfamiliar with Ron but he sounds promising. From the guy who complains that WDIV can't create decent forecasts and gets it wrong more than they get right, *this* is a good hire? She was the morning traffic girl, after bein...

"I should move on because I could say some stuff"

You already have. Being an adult is knowing when to keep your mouth shut.

FACT CHECK: What was suppressed was flase stories or items which were not campaign related like nudes of Hunter Biden Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk You realize the laptop story itself was suppressed and that they admitted it and have said it was a mistake to do so, right? Its not just the la...

[ It was somewhere around there. May have been 50.04. But it was the transmission directly from the copter to air and also to ground. It would have been in the broadcast auxiliary band, remote pickup service. While there are some allocations as low as 11 meters, Detroit does not have anything in lo...

He will have to wait until the spring to use his favorite phrase. "Daylight Saving Time - no 's' - begins on Sunday."

It is a SE Michigan thing to put a possessive or plural S on words. I'm not sure which it is, actually.

"I went to Walmarts...". "He works for Fords".

Is anyone at 4 good at their job?

There has to be some political lines drawn over who touches the knobs. The chief there has done stints at other stations that didn't have this problem where she took care of it.

There is no reason for bad audio in this day and age. The loudness wars are over, the iPod won.
