Re: The Debt Limit..

Commenting just from a political perspective - IF the Republicans ultimately cave on this issue (which, if past behavior is any indication, that is a likely outcome) and Biden mostly gets his way, the Republican party is finished. I disagree with that premise. A debt default could have disastrous c...

Re: Tonight's town hall

Based on what I've read of his answers, he (again) proved himself unelectable.

I do not see any scenario where I'll be casting a vote for him in 2024.

Re: Dan Bongino out at WJR in May

Agreed. I like him as a news reporter but not as a long-form talk host.

Re: Ron Cameron

WPON's coverage is terrible compared to the previous site. Used to hear it clear as a bell in western Sterling Heights and western Warren daytime. Now, I can barely hear it near 14 Mile and Woodward. WCXI, which airs recorded sermons from a convicted sexual predator and cult leader (Brother Stair) 2...

Re: C'mon Kim Adams - get a clue...

I actually like her presentation of the weather, generally speaking.

She is more charismatic on camera than many on-air forecasters in this market. I'd describe her knowledge and accuracy as "average."

Her remarks last Friday did catch me by surprise.

Re: C'mon Kim Adams - get a clue...

If she was right about it being "much above normal" for this week, then her forecast graphic from Friday evening, which mostly showed highs from the upper 60s to low 70s, with maybe one or two days in the mid 70s, was wrong. Upper 60s and low 70s do not qualify as "much above normal" for this time o...

Re: Local news expansion

Many people who watch local news have been watching the same station for news for 30 or 40 years. In terms of OTA PSIP channel identification, the physical RF channel or former analog channel can be used. In terms of channel number references used in video graphics and on-air branding produced by th...

Android Auto app offers live weather radar, satellite and current conditions

An app simply called "Weather & Radar" is Android Auto compatible and allows the user to see current conditions with a satellite and radar overlay on the infotainment screen. There is no pan capability but the interface does allow zoom in and zoom out. I am unsure if it displays severe weather warni...

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence

I agree that Bounce is worthy of an HD signal. You are indeed correct that the CW is cancelling production of most of its original series. https://movieweb.com/the-cw-tv-shows-we-wont-see-return-in-2023-24/#:~:text=And%20sadly%2C%20as%20part%20of,will%20be%20quite%20a%20shakeup.

Re: Local news expansion

WEYI is damaged goods. WILX has never been worse than second place in the Lansing market and has spent a good chunk of the past fifteen years in first place. WEYI has never been able to escape the stigma from the analog era of being a UHF station. In markets such as South Bend where everyone is on U...
