Re: Plane crash in 1977

Every square inch of Michigan forest has been traipsed over by hunters at some point in the past 45 years so if they were out there somewhere someone would have noticed it by now.

Nick at Nite has always aired shows 15-30 year old.

Friends is almost 30 years old now.
My lasting memory of Nick at night was watching Mr. Ed and Dobie Gillis back in the 80s. That’s when it was great.

Re: 97.1

That was a national CBS Radio host from the east coast. He actually does a decent show, but he's an older gentleman with a clear accent and a bit of a speech impediment. Many employers treated July 3 like a holiday since the 4th is on a Saturday (today). Of course, big radio sometimes likes to use ...

Re: TV internet precursor

Are you talking about something that was interactive, were you could send information "up" and get something back? There were several systems that were in use in cable systems in the early 80's, but only the QUBE system was interactive. The others relied on just character generators for different c...

You're probably thinking of Teletext. It was widely available in Europe, but never really caught on in North America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext
Yeah that's a lot closer to what I was thinking about. But I think it was simply called teletext on the tv set I was watching.

It might have been called Qube.
No I know it wasn't that. This was more of a teletype news wire type of thing. With very rudimentary graphics. It kind of reminds me of those cable bulletin boards that used to be out there in the '80s

TV internet precursor

I was thinking about this the other day and I hadn't thought about it for years. Does anyone remember back in the late '80s maybe early '90s. Some TVs had functionality where you could get news,weather, sports scores, horoscopes etc right on the screen on demand. My grandparents had a TV like this b...

Re: Karsch & Anderson Champ & Chump Of The Week

I agree, I have yet to hear why it was necessary to load up with toilet paper other than it was a social media thing. People are like cattle they tend to follow each other, very sad. I think people are afraid that Trump is going to order everyone to shelter in place in their homesfor 6 months and n...

Re: Beautiful Music Stations in Detroit

https://seeburg1000.com/

I think I found my new favorite source for beautiful music. Check out this website. It's for the Seeburg 1000 which was a background music player popular in the 60s. They even have an app and they stream the music 24 hours a day. Fantastic.

Re: 2020 predictions

I agree that a shake-up in the WJR weekday schedule will occur at some point in 2020. Look for Ben Shapiro to be onboarded. Guy Gordon will be removed as an afternoon drive time host. Not confident enough to say he'll disappear from WJR completely. (More Cumulus prediction below.) WGPR will be sold...
