Re: New meteorologist at WOOD-TV
She has about as much passion for reporting the weather as Bill Steffen does. I don't see her leaving too easily, but perhaps stepping back somewhat over the next several years. Have a feeling that Ellen is going to leave WOOD TV since she had the baby and wants to be a stay-at-home mom. they will ...

Re: WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game
Here's a hypothetical question for engineers and those in the know: why on earth won't WOOD-TV8 quit relying on some dodgy out-of-town amateur hour operation 300 miles away, and actually build their OWN master control hub instead? Keep things in-house, for better reliability and control....lord kno...

Are WOTV and WXSP still off the air?

Re: Lions game blacked out screen
I take it this issue is not limited to Xfinity and also involves their OTA signal? The dumbasses need to find a way to move the broadcast to either WOTV or WXSP. WOTV and WXSP were also dark due to the issue in Indy. I've been watching the game off antenna, and since it came back on it's just been ...

Re: "Fully staffed"
One term I did not hear on air during this last weather-alert go-round was: "fully staffed." At first I thought, they might have thrown the term out, but now I think its absence might be because there is no Bill Steffen involved, who I believe is still technically part of the WOOD-TV weather team. ...

Re: Detroit Lions 2023
The Lions never seem to beat Seattle, and I'd love to see them eliminate Stafford, so give me the Rams. I can completely understand why many folks would prefer a Seattle matchup, though. The Rams' body of work this season is more impressive. Wouldn't it be something if we were to have a Lions - Bro...

Re: The Last Week of FOX 17’s “Davis…”
Morning News floor director and comedy relief element Mike Davis will retire after 40 years with WXMI on Friday, Jan. 12. Won’t pretend to know the service runs of all who wound up on camera in the Grand Rapids market, but as to assisting the product as a staffer or on-air talent it seems only Geor...

All three are dead or dying. The 300!has stopped production. The Charger and Challenger will be dead after this year. They are being replaced with EVs. The Charger will go back to a 2 door the way it is intended Stellantis is putting all of its money into the Jeep brand because that one is the brea...

Re: Lansing is losing Antenna TV and Circle
Appears to be a corporate move, as all of Gray's NBC affiliates did the same. Gray having bad blood with NBC? Apparently Gray is moving to de-emphasize network affiliations for all of their stations, according to this forum thread: https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-gr...

Re: Detroit Pistons 2023-24
I don't know what's worse - this losing streak or Johnny Kane's vomit inducing play-by-play. Guy has an orgasm whenever a three pointer is made in crunch time. The Pistons have a higher number of alternate jerseys than victories this season. 😁 Did Blaha retire? Or is Kane just filling in over the h...

It's not that they don't love to win, it's that they don't hate to lose.
