I forget who the pitcher was for Detroit, but he got screwed out of a no-hitter and the umpire who called it even admitted it was the wrong call. Good one! Not just a no-hitter, but an extremely rare perfect game! The pitcher was Armando Galarraga, who handled it with superb class. The umpire Jim J...

This doesn't need to be complicated. Any of the following antennas should offer reasonably good reception of all major OTA networks in Detroit: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-indoor-hdtv-antenna-black/8233003.p?skuId=8233003 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-fine-tuning-indoor-hdtv-anten...

Wow, I'm shocked at the negative responses here. Vernor's is my #1, the absolute bestest!

A salami sandwich with Miracle Whip and lettuce on Brownberry wheat toast washed down with an ice cold Vernor's is my favorite late night snack.

DON'T DO IT! I bought one from Best Buy last year and it didn't work. Second that. It is a UHF-only design. Thank you, it was already shipped, but I was able to cancel the order in time; it is returning to Amazon. A credit card refund will be forthcoming. Now, I'm not in a position to spend big buc...

When I lived in the city of Warren, I had an indoor amplified antenna (in addition to cable) connected to a TV in the basement. Perhaps it is only a random coincidence, but in my case, I actually received the best signal from WJBK with the dipole rods extended only about ten inches. Bottom line - d...

What face of the building is his apartment on? West Vernor and W Grand Blvd (conozco bien) is urban, but not that dense. If he's on the south face, the longer waves (WJBK is actually VHF 7) and lower ERP (27kW) could be a problem. However, multipath is not as severe at VHF. Try an amplified indoor ...

Have fun, and don't spend it all in one place.

Thank you for the replies. Moving the antenna to the second floor isn't a reasonable option for him; we'll see what happens with a new indoor antenna.

...they remind me of Amy Joy Doughnuts anyone remember them?

Wow! I haven't heard, or even thought of that name since forever!

BTW, my local Speedway has a Krispy Kreme cabinet display. I partake quite often.

My uncle has an old analog 24-inch TV with an external digital converter and an old ( really old!) external rabbit ears antenna with one ear lopped off. He gets all the Detroit local stations and their associated sub-channels just fine except for WJBK Fox 2, even after three scans. He lives in south...

"Colorado" - Danny Holien

Haven't heard it on ANY radio since I first heard it -- once -- in the '70s. YouTube is great!

1. Rush. More chops than a butcher shop and zero soul. I sometimes just want a groove I can chair dance to, which this band couldn't provide upon pain of death. Geddy's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Bingo! Deep Tracks plays them entirely too much; when they do I hit another button...ANY butt...

Anyone an Enya fan?

Am I a fan? No. Can I listen to her music? Certainly!

It's been awhile since I've been blown away by a commercial, but this one rivals Apple's famous one-off 1984 introduction of the MacIntosh during the Super Bowl for sheer spectacle and a cast of thousands!
