Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

There is plenty of empty space among existing buildings in downtown Detroit, especially west of Griswold. The space doesn't always show up in CBD vacancy data because some of the space is not leasable in its current condition. I will also note proposed construction in District Detroit (LCA's neighbo...

Re: 1270 to Begin

No Waab Parker programming yet on 1270.

Wouldn't shock me if it never makes it to air.

Either a lease payment was missed or Audacy corporate quietly nixed the arrangement. Perhaps the delay in implementation of Audacy's BK plan of reorganization is a factor? (FCC is dragging its feet.)

I heard the Jim Rome show when I turned on 1270 an hour ago. I will check again in a couple hours.

Re: New WWJ/WKBD Boss

A 10 PM newscast on channel 50 would be nice.

Will be interesting to see if any additional heads roll.

I'm still not over WWJ-TV refusing to break into programming on a wall-to-wall basis last August as a strong tornado ransacked I-96 near Webberville.

I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

The proposed $300 million deconstruction of I-375 is not about "restorative justice." The Black Bottom enclave is long gone. Those who were displaced many decades ago will see zero benefit, monetary or otherwise. For Duggan, Whitmer and others to even suggest this project is about social justice is ...

Re: Portage tornado

I agree that she is not good at all. I've seen her anchor on the weekend a few times; her enunciation and pacing are both very awkward. She belongs in a much smaller market.

This is a .500 ball club as constructed. Those expecting this squad to be a playoff contender this year have excessively lofty expectations.
This post is so prescient it deserved a "bump."

Re: Portage tornado

Fox 17's coverage, streamed on YouTube, was disappointing. Their radar imagery is lower resolution than all other local stations, and the meteorologists seldom if ever mentioned the Portage tornado was large & spotter confirmed. George on 13 seemed out of it at times; Blake Hansen did a great job, t...

Agreed. He's earned it, and I say that as a former Goff skeptic!

Lions absolutely need to be in WIN NOW mode and do everything necessary to keep the nucleus intact. This extension definitely aligns with such a strategy.

Hah!

That women's team (which has since relocated to Dallas) might have more talent than the ball club that chose to stay here!

Re: More stupidity from Dana Nessel

The suits state attorneys general filed against 3M, et al. for PFAS made sense. Harm in precise physical locations could be directly attributed to the substance.

Re: Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor

An on-air debate would make for great radio!

Too many talk shows these days are echo chambers for a single ideology and little else.
