Re: MTG Smack down
Rashida Tlaib's seat is very safe. She won in a landslide in the 2022 general. The Arab and African American communities and many white progressives view her fondly. I live on the NE edge of her district. Her most recent quarterly mailing showed a detailed list of all the federal grant money she (pu...

More stupidity from Dana Nessel

WAKV during its Adult Standards / Big Band era was a cool little station! He had a great voice, too.

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS
Unlikely, except for perhaps one or more of the translators.
Beasley, if it needs to raise cash prior to entering chapter 11, is more likely to look to divest stations in New Jersey, its crappy standalone AM in Atlanta, or stations in the puny Augusta, GA and Fayetteville, NC markets.

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS
If you mean in terms of present day values, probably a range of $8 million to $10 million. Caroline Beasley is delusional based on her earnings announcement remarks: "In summary, Beasley's underlying fundamentals-mainly, our local audio and digital platforms and audience engagement-remain strong. We...

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS
They overpaid for 105.9 and that group of translators.
Cumulus evidently didn't want to sell 93.1 to a commercial broadcaster. 93.1 sold for about $3 million less than 105.9.

Re: RFK, Jr trying to show he belongs on the debate stage
There are indeed a select few that have severe allergic reactions to vaccine ingredients (egg, as an example). Sorry to hear about those reactions; that is extremely scary stuff!!! In such situations, forgoing the vaccine is absolutely the correct choice. For children who have no history of incurrin...

Re: Weather reporting
The primary tornado that carved a path from Centreville to near Union City based on a preliminary assessment had peak winds of 130 MPH, making it an EF-2. This is the twister that spawned a tornado emergency declaration for northern Branch County for a time. A much weaker, brief secondary tornado wa...

Re: RFK, Jr trying to show he belongs on the debate stage
I had chicken pox in 7th grade (there was no vaccine yet) and found it to be a miserable experience. I would've much rather been healthy and in school.

So, only 4 Repubs voted to oust him.
I'm torn as to who the bigger jackass is - MTG or Tom Massie.

Article is behind a paywall, but I'll link to it anyway.

They also own 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, which is tremendously successful. It's one of the highest billing stations in the entire country. Rock 92.9 does suck, though. Playlist is garbage. The Tampa station (98.7 The Shark) performs fairly well in the ratings given its signal limitations. It use...

Re: BEASLEY MEDIA INITIATES 7% STAFF LAYOFFS
Probably won't affect them much if at all. Maybe they lose a supporting cast member at worst.
I suspect many of the laid off individuals are sales and behind the scenes folks + corporate staff.

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
The fact a Democrat in that highly conservative district won by a 20 point margin just goes to show how f*cked up today's GOP is.
