I can personally attest that the screening at Detroit Metro has room for improvement........I had missed removing a knife with a 5" blade that was stuck in an inside pocket of the bag. So did the bag screener at Metro. I get it that the metal detection screening process isn't perfect. How many of o...

I think a solution is a law requiring a gun owner to be directly responsible for his gun and anything bad that happens with that gun in the hands of a minor. Violators of the law don't care about any laws on the books. Their goal has already been demonstrated many times. You can draft all the restr...

Anyone notice a lot of misspellings in local news graphics I saw them frequently during my entire 36 years at WIXIE. I ran chyron for a few years and the super requests we would receive from the news department frequently contained spelling errors. At the end of my time there I was operating the au...

Any station that offers station tours on the website is a win in my book.

At least 2 Detroit AM stations go off the air permanently. Do you wish to clarify further as to which two specific stations you believe will shut down. Obviously you have two in mind. If you don't want to spell out the two stations at least explain the reason or reasons why you believe they will "g...

WCXI is on, with dead air. That's also a big no-no. Was monitoring WCXI and at 11:00 AM today (12/30/21) they played one commercial and did an ID. In that brief time nothing was distorted. After the ID then it went back to carrier only -- all quiet. No sooner did I post then at 11:06 they ran two m...

Why did you listen to the same sentence for 20 minutes? At first I couldn't believe that this was actually happening mainly because of the duration. Then I figured being Christmas day there might be absolutely no one at the station. I was doing other things on-line and listening and got curious as ...

This is usually caused by an audio file sent by FTP but not finished, but with all the IP audio in use today, the playback device could be losing its connection.

In the 3 o'clock hour everything seems to be running OK for now.

I have been listening since about 2pm and the sports talk show suddenly got locked in repeating a sentence. This went on about 20 minutes. They went to a break and ran several commercials then went to a "Sunday" show which shortly locked in the same repeating sentence problem. Someone resets it the...

I do remember that WXON was on Decker Road. Just curious is that building still there?

That building at 100 Decker road survived until a couple of years ago and then it was demolished and replaced with a comfort care place.

Does anyone remember when Channel 62 was WXON from Walled Lake? I started working at WXON Channel 62 part-time in 1971 for a time. I ran camera on Saturdays when we taped a few religious programs. Later I ran master control a few times but that was when they had switched to Channel 20. Both assignm...

do you think it’s time for Fox Television Stations to relaunch a 4 pm newscast here in Detroit

How long before you'll request a 3 PM Midday newscast?
