Re: WJRT Changes

David is green because this is his first TV job. Not sure about Miriam. Kent came from WBKB 11 in Alpena and is stiff as a board.

I will say that the quality of reporters there went downhill since Byron Allen bought ABC12.

Well, you can still get the flu even if you've had your annual shot. Covid is no different in that regard.
Have had the flu shot only once in my life. Never again. I was never as sick all winter as I was that year.

Re: Could the Detroit News have used a shittier photo of Mike Rogers?

Any smart opponent of his, whether it be in the GOP primary or general election, will make the point of him being a carpetbagger a big issue. He hasn’t lived in Michigan for at least 6 years as he’s been a FLA resident

Re: WEYI hubbing weather from WWMT?

I’m guessing that Erik is getting off this sinking ship.

It’s bad enough that the weekday morning weather is already from WWMT. I’ve also seen the crew from WPBN from Traverse City fill in. Sinclair has completely screwed the pooch with NBC25 and FOX66.

Funniest thing is that it’s not going to work like they want it to, as I’ll be a viewer who will record it and watch it later, fast forwarding until I see the code and will enter the contest then

Fox 47 makes WBKB in Alpena look like the major leagues!
Ha, I know that people refer to BKB as "Barely knows broadcasting."
Because it is.

Unfortunately ABC12 in Flint hired one of their anchor/ reporters about a year ago. Guy’s delivery is as stiff as a board

Sinclair buying ratings (just like radio)

Happened to see a promo on NBC25 this morning prior to the Today show where starting next week, watch their 6pm newscast, look for the QR code, scan it and enter to win a $100 Visa gift card and then be entered to win a weekly prize of $5,000! Did a little digging for 💩💩💩 and giggles and found a few...

Re: Jeff Holbrook dies (WWCK)

Heard his legendary voice on a TV commercial for a downtown Flint bar (name escaping me at this moment) the other day on ABC12.

Fantastic pipes, great music knowledge and I’m sure he could’ve easily worked in Detroit if he wanted to move there. RIP Jeff.

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

I was in.their broadcast area today for work and tuned in. OMG - their music doesn’t entirely fit their ads on Bally Sports Detroit where they say they’re “classic rock that rocks”. Heard a deep cut tune that Anne Carlini played from an Aerosmith album from the 70’s. Later heard a tune from Jimi Hen...

Re: Jim Price

Price replaced Oosterman on play by play at PASS. Oosterman in an interview (link was posted somewhere in this forum within the past year) told the story regarding what happened. Thankfully, Ernie soon arrived at PASS, with Price moving to color commentary for most innings. McLeod never worked Tige...
