WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game

I don’t believe their excuse. The fact is they knew it was a big game. With as many NBC stations owned by Nexstar, they absolutely should have identified a backup source before the game. They didn’t do it. That’s a failure of WOOD TV’s management and engineers. WOOD TV 8 is truly a Mickey Mouse ope...

Re: WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game

A massive IT failure in Indianapolis appears to be the culprit. https://www.woodtv.com/about-us/signal-disruption-affecting-lions-game-viewers/?fbclid=IwAR3Q2UQ4VlUfF0PQbleNygQEazRdWNsvns1--b1uNi9ytwOMymXOPzjlH4E Amanda Porter was responding on Twitter that it was an NBC issue.

Re: Nielsen November 2023 radio ratings

It’s more like they won’t. Hell, I wish Detroit would have an Oldies station on FM, but that won’t happen. The Senior Citizens demographic doesn’t spend money ( so the radio executives say) therefore we may never have an Oldies station on FM or AM for that matter once 580 flips. Therefore, I have t...

Re: MLB Playoffs 2023

The ALCS so far has featured the home team losing every game. Advantage Rangers for game 7.

Re: Detroit Lions 2023

My question is, how do we rank the top 5 teams right now? Miami Detroit San Fran Philly KC Right now there's those 5 teams, and then there's everybody else. If I HAD to rank them, I would go: 1a) San Fran 1b) Detroit 1c) Miami 1d) KC 1e) Philly A point to be made here in both the Philly and Frisco ...

The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (americanarchive.org) has an exhibit devoted to National Educational Television and an extensive collection of NET shows from the '50s and '60s. Some of them are interesting, especially the NET Journal and At Issue series (sort of an early version of Fron...

Isn't Drew (or Droo) in the Cannabis business these days? I recall seeing a news report along those lines.
Correct on Drew. He is currently the GM of Boco in Middleville.

Technically the Lions season is over by October 1, anyway.
Haven’t paid much attention to the NFL lately?
Have you seen the injury list? Oof.

BTW, Ellen and her hubby Mark welcomed Piper Sunny Bacca to the world on Friday! Congratulations! Keep in mind, Ellen lost her first last year, so this is great news!

True, but it has been the debut month, for the most part, for new fall shows… when there’s no writers’ strike, of course.

WWJ 950 broadcasting at reduced power?

Yup. Daytime pattern is definitely weaker than usual for second straight day. Alright kids, let me toss this in. I was working along the lakeshore (Muskegon to Holland) today. I punched up 920 WOKY Milwaukee to listen to some of the DP show and that station was fighting to get in, even at 5kw it’s ...
