Re: WDIV new set

Channel 4 is using the chroma key wall for weather again, at least for the 5p and 6p newscasts. Looks good! :)

Re: Tiger Baseball on TV

It’s been a few weeks since Xfinity pulled the plug on Bally. The chatter seems to have quieted down. Do you think: A) people have moved on with their lives and found something different to occupy the time that used to be spent watching the Tigers? B) people have adapted/purchased the Bally app C) ...

Re: WDIV's Bryan Schuerman is a moron

That's right. DTW's official high was 72 late morning. Some areas in the Metro area only peaked in the late 60s.

No mention in the forecast excerpt I posted of falling temps in the afternoon. As opposed to mid 70s, most areas were in the low to mid 60s.

That extra insulation might be causing him to misjudge how warm it is outside. :)

Re: WDIV's Bryan Schuerman is a moron

It is 63 right now in Romulus. The official TOH observation at DTW was 63 as well.

Temp dropped three degrees between Noon and 2PM at DTW and four degrees at PTK.

We've already reached our high temps for the day.

WDIV's Bryan Schuerman is a moron

The nasally voiced clown is forecasting a high of 75 degrees this afternoon. Is that forecast for Detroit or is it for Fantasy Land? Holy shit. Does he not realize we're on the cold side of a strong upper level low? There are air temps in SW Michigan in the upper 50s right now! That cool air is seep...

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

Some dude named Chase Oliver received the nomination.

I've found only very little information regarding his professional and educational background.

I do agree with some of his political positions and disagree with others.

Chicago's western suburbs get a Classic Alternative station

WERV - 95.9 The River in Aurora - has flipped to Classic Alternative. I've heard material from the mid 80s to mid 00s so far. A very good mix.

I didn't see this one coming!

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

I agree multiple life sentences with no possibility of parole is excessively harsh. That being said, he was the mastermind of a criminal enterprise used by drug traffickers, so it's hard for me to have much sympathy for his fate.

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

One of the most important issues for LP activists is for the next President to pardon some scumbag who created a website in order to facilitate trafficking of narcotics and criminal activities. I would say "unbelievable," but frankly, I am not surprised. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/25/politics/liber...

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

The audio on the link you posted sucks. Crowd noise is muffled. The audio on the link MCRF posted is crystal clear, and it is obvious many in the crowd were very displeased with some of Trump's remarks. Nothing "hacky" at all about it. I will say hardcore LP activists likely have just as many screws...

Re: WADL Deal Pulled

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.
