The Circle's product really hasn't been true to the tight Action News format for quiet some time, but the trademark comments piqued my curiosity. According to the "Action News" article on Wikipedia - which may or may not be entirely accurate, of course - the trademarked name is owned by Cox Enterpri...

I find WXYZ unwatchable and Ron Cameron unlistenable.

Staff was shown ratings information at a recent meeting in November. Newscasts, in the evening mainly, are beating WXYZ at multiple times and multiple days per week. Viewership seems to disagree with the assessment of this board. WXYZ is a distant 3rd without a doubt but to be that close within the...

The only one they don't carry - unfortunately, IMO - is Cozi.

Very believable, Deadend. I hope he moves to Florida...or Texas.

Yes, Colonel, he was the program director at Honey. He also worked twice at WXYZ 1270 before landing at Honey.

The Richard D. Haase we all remember from Honey Radio was much older than the Richard in the death notice above. The original, if you will, died a few days after Christmas last year and lived in Warren. He was 87 and was on WHND from 1980 to 1994 while working in IT for Greater Media. Based on the d...

The best line from the story: "LeDuff insists he didn’t need the Detroit News job, which he says paid “peanuts,” because of the success of his podcast." I'm sure he and Jason Carr are raking in the dough!

Earlier this week, she posted on her LinkedIn page about "an update in two weeks" regarding her employment status.
