Re: TV 8 weather/traffic

I am rarely in a space to view those newscasts, doesn't or didn't Meghan Bunchman do the traffic for a spell? As the funding wells dry up, you see more and more double barreled delivery, Robb Westaby has the predawn patrol on Fox 17 before doing traffic for the commute.

Re: WOOD TV Hires New Main Anchor

This clouds the "issue" somewhat, but Brittany Flowers has also moved to evening offerings at WOOD TV, hosting "The Seven" with Ellen Bacca. David Horak was on Weekend Daybreak the last coupla days. Changes are gonna keep coming, how do you pay seasoned help ad infinitum?

Eric Zane to (or at?) Q100...

Apparently it has begun, though I saw a story on FOX 17 saying "The Inzane Asylum" begins later this month.

https://q100michigan.com/on-air/eric-zane

Certainly looks like a remote hosting role for Zane, who is keeping his public address work at Van Andel Arena in GR.

Re: Ron Cameron

I am reminded of Casey Kasem's post-life family feuding and the trials of James Brown's body and descendants after he passed away.

Let there be peace and respectful treatment if Ron's status is still in limbo.

Re: Michigan State basketball on WJR

"...(you pick the player) is dribbling around," "...goes over there," "He GOT it!" (the latter is his signature call for three pointers).

Tieman is chummy, but that's about the nicest thing to say about in his regard.

Re: LOL at WWJ

[quote=MWmetalhead post_id=778177 time=1710097919 user_id=2] A lot of people in the Grand Rapids area probably aren't even sure where those two freeways are located. People over there are pretty clueless when it comes to counties, major suburbs and major highways on this side of the state. They asso...

Re: Ron Cameron

The nicking of Budd Lynch on the Bob-Ron show, maybe Ron found out Budd had kicked in on that "send Ron to umpire school fund." Of course that low bridge wouldn't work today!

Re: Ron Cameron

The caller pace in the tribute show is staggering, I know nothing of Jukebox Johnny but am glad to hear of his Specs Howard lineage. I made many industry friends who went to Specs and came to Micro Markets, and much larger opportunities. JJ's recent on-air mention of Bob Allison prompts memories of ...

Re: Ron Cameron

Missing his “last” show is a source of frustration. By God, Ron had a guest (someone should let Lance know of his honor) and he started on time and went a little long. In the most quirky way, he was able to live his life doing what he sought to do, so good on Mr. Cameron. Here’s to his seeing, then ...
