Re: Local 4 buyout packages
The Deadline Detroit report has now been picked up by the Free Press, so I'd say the chances of it being true are very likely: It's looking like Bernie Smilovitz, Rod Meloni, and Mara MacDonald took the buyout. I like the additional sourcing of the Free Press contacting the general manager of WDIV a...

Re: March PPM's
Ok, I see your point about 98.7 not really being that much like 89X, MW. That's all true. I checked out that 107.3 Cleveland playlist and... wow, that's really interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a station quite like that. I might check that out. (We've established that I'm bad at comparisons,...

Even better, then. Yeah, I'd believe that. He seems pretty good at his job.

Re: WDIV new set
I guess this is the way things are going. Makes me think of a miniature CNN or something, weirdly enough.

Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?
This SUCKS. I mean, do I have an impression of the new brand? Not really. That's kind of the thing, it's a nothing burger. I don't know how anyone would have much impression, good or bad. But I'm mad! Action News goes back to the 70s!! I think a lot about how downright WEIRD it is they were still us...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold
Be thankful the Foundation did not take the example from Ann Arbor and change itself to "Detroit Public." :D Right? I still hate "Michigan Public." Michigan Public WHAT?? Your ear just hears something missing. I completely buy the reasoning that they should de-emphasize the words "radio" and "TV" n...

Re: March PPM's
I agree that I'm really, really surprised at how incredibly well Alt 98.7 is doing, for them. I mean, I doubt anyone could have imagined a better result for that station in this market. You know what they're doing? And this is significant, in my mind. Playing almost entirely throwbacks. It's essenti...

Re: Tim Pamplin
I always liked the guy. He does a bit, which is clearly engineered for ratings. Like, he must have come to them all those years ago with the whole pitch of, "look, this is what I do. You don't see my face, ever. It adds intrigue and action, and I'm cheaper because I'm my own camera! And who can resi...

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
I agree it's bizarre that YouTube TV doesn't carry 20. I think what happened is that YTTV originally WAS a pretty fledgling "cable" service before they found themselves somewhat quickly becoming THE "cable" service (I believe they now have more national subs than Comcast.) They never bothered (nor d...

Re: Airplane crash
I was driving with my kids up and then down Michigan Ave in the Canton Twp - Ypsi area near the airport, but we didn't realize anything had happened. A lot of people still assembled trying to watch likely didn't either. That was a surprise to hear. But apparently if you were close to Willow Run airp...

Re: Demond Fernandez joins WDIV-Local 4 News team as anchor, reporter
Don't really watch much local news coverage anymore, but when I watched the fireworks on WDIV they had him on set to do their big welcome thing and honestly, I was impressed. He seemed like he knew what he was doing, and wren I heard WFAA I thought, "oh, he'll be good." Then again, it's possible he ...

Re: 910 am super station breaking news
I think it's safe to say that reporter Steve Neavling is not a big fan of Kevin Adell. He wrote this for the Metro Times about the format flip at 910: https://www.metrotimes.com/news/white-millionaire-abruptly-pulls-plug-on-predominantly-black-talk-radio-station-910am-33875753 But much more damning ...

Bernie was already phoning it in 15 years ago. I cannot believe he's still there all the time.

I would love to know exactly what he said on the air too. I feel like the chances of ever seeing a clip are low, though, since it wasn't on their main broadcast, it was on Local 4+. I mean, was anyone watching? :rollin WWJ has clarified: he yelled at co-workers (off-air) and got briefly taken off th...
