Per RabbitEars.info, 6.1, 53.1 and 53.2 in Lansing all broadcast their audio in DD5.1 despite all three channels (CBS, ABC and CW, respectively) sharing a single physical RF channel (channel 14).
The situation you describe is the result of telecasters refusing to implement the proper technology.

The Black Keys cancel entire North American tour abruptly

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares for April
94.5 is a half point ahead of 105.3. 94.5 plays a ton of music heard nowhere else on the FM dial in the Grand Rapids area. 105.3 shares a lot of music with 95.7 and 104.5. Those who enjoy current Top 40 hits and are under the age of 35 primarily obtain their music from sources other than FM radio. T...

Nielsen audio AQH shares for April
Monster book for WCSG; perhaps their biggest ever! Blunder 107.3 and Mix 95.7 reached new all-time lows. How does a monster signal near the middle of the dial with (supposedly) mass appeal pop music earn only a 2.3? It's time to either flip it to country or to restore the heritage W-Lite brand. It t...

Re: I'm with Nikki Haley
Craig's take on 2024 is succinct and well put. For the exact reason he stated, I intend to vote for Biden. I will not entirely rule out voting for a third party candidate (it will not be RFK, Jr.).

Trajan Langdon to be hired as Pistons new POBO
Langdon comes from the Pelicans. His hire reportedly will become official next week. I hope he throws Weaver out on his ass. By the way, it's nice to see Rod Beard writing about the Pistons for The Detroit News again. I don't know if this is a one-off article or if he's returning to the Pistons beat...

Re: The Nine
The Nine is crafted for women who watch TV at home in the middle of the morning. Men of any age is not who they are targeting.
In other words, they are going for the same demographic as Kathie Lee and Hoda.
Men complaining about The Nine is analagous to women complaining about UFC telecasts.

Re: WADL Deal Pulled
The technology exists to allow surround sound audio on multiple subchannels using the same RF channel. ABC and CBS in Lansing share an RF channel.

Re: WADL Deal Pulled
I agree that 4.2 is a decent possibility. WDIV would need to upgrade its gear to allow it to transmit on 4.2 in HD, but that wouldn't be too difficult to do. WWMT has aired CBS in 1080i and CW in either 720p or 1080i plus has hosted multiple 480i feeds for years. WTVS is running dual 1080i feeds plu...

Re: CBS News Detroit
I actually saw - wait for it - a complete sportscast on tonight's 6PM newscast! 🙂 Long overdue. Not sure when they started doing a sports report; it's been at least a month since I last watched their 6PM newscast after 6:20 PM. I have no idea who the sports anchor was as I missed the first half of h...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
Maybe it's time for the media to start questioning A.J. Hinch and Scott Harris. Hinch is in his fourth year, and there has been no real progress since his first year. The Tigers are on pace to match Hinch's first year, when they were 77-85. Harris was brought here to build on Avila's work, which wa...

Re: Poll for Republican Party U.S. Senator Nominee
No secret - I'm voting for Amash.
If Amash were to exit the race, I'd vote for Rogers.
Pensler is running a dirty campaign. Very disappointed in him.
