Re: Rewind: Vintage 1980 NewsCenter 8 WOTV Newscast
That's a damn good newscast from 1980. With the exceptions of Warren Reynolds, Dick Evans and Henry Erb, I believe all the folks featured were gone by the time Newscenter 8 became News 8. I am unsure if they were fired, left on their own, or a combination thereof. I think Cary Berglund stuck around...

CW7 changing on 1-1-24?
CW7 ran a promo about changes happening on 1-1-24. Does anyone know what’s going on at the station? It was something about ARC, whatever that is.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage
First and foremost, this is why no organization should use internal memos to communicate anything of a sensitive nature. It should be done verbally and privately. Anything written can and will be used as evidence. Second, I think it's safe to say that most of the push-back from LGBTQ stories are fr...

Amanda Porter at WOOD TV
Can someone at 120 College SE please educate Amanda on pronunciation again? It’s not an M-I-G 23; it’s a MiG23. Last night she pronounced Alexandra Limon’s last name wrong. When she first started, she mispronounced Emily Linnert’s last name two weeks in a row. God do I miss Whitney Burney. She is an...

Time to clean house when it comes to upper management. Maybe someone at Nexstar can coax Bob Henry out of retirement.

Re: Another victim of Clownsquare budget cuts...
I just read Townsquare cancelled its nighttime syndicated show for the Classic Hits format. Distribution will cease in a few weeks. I believe GR was the largest market where that show aired. Format change ahead for WFGR? Considering that JoJo is gone and now Winters is leaving, I think it’s going t...

Re: Bill Freeman
I worked alongside Bill at WOOD TV in the late 80s and early 90s and then later at WPRR A/FM before he headed to California. He was a good man who cared about those less fortunate in life.
I’m glad I got to see his wife and daughter at his celebration of life.

Re: Latest Nielsen Audio numbers
Nice to see the Q and Jack holding steady. Speaking of Jack, I'm hearing more cuts that I haven't heard in ages -- Reel Big Fish's Sell Out, for example. Also heard Vehicle from the Ides of March this morning, too. Only time I'll hear those tracks is when I have SXM on. The Q is sounding better, as...

JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR
Today is JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR. I could go on a rant against corporate radio, but I would just be repeating what others have said in the past.

Bitch And Be Gone
I vaguely remember a segment on radio many years ago called "Bitch and Be Gone." The host would take callers for the last few minutes where they would get 10-15 seconds to complain about something. When their time expired, the call was dropped and the next caller was put on. But I don't remember whi...
