Unlike today, where a corporation can share call letters among different stations it owns in different parts of the county. KCBS-TV in Los Angeles was initially KNXT because the KCBS call sign was already used by it's FM station in San Francisco. When the FCC relaxed the call letter requirement CBS...

Voyeur alert! At the bottom of a Detroit News story about storm damage, it reads: Send us your photos or videos of storms and damage in your area (only if it is safe to do so) at online@detroitnews.com. The story already had many such pictures, but I guess that wasn't enough... ...and so they went ...

I dunno.... ratings for both stations would probably increase if that were to happen

That's for sure. XD

I just read that WNWO will eliminate their affiliation with NBC after 25 years and become an independent station for the first time in 50 years. As a result, it will now air 22 1/2 hours of test patterns, with the rest of the day filled out with their preexisting out-of-state newscasts. Where will N...

I have confirmed that WWJ is indeed running a test pattern on RF21.

WXYZ is already running a test pattern on RF25, and WDIV is also running their test pattern on RF32.

It was carried in the strangest of places, so it wouldn't surprise me. According to the 1994 TV Factbook (posted on americanradiohistory.com), WDIV may have been carried in the following communities outside of Michigan (these communities are all in counties where WDIV had a 5% or higher net weekly ...

It was brought up on a Discord server today that at one point WDIV was carried in, of all places, Ireland. However, very little is currently known about this. There aren't even any mentions on if it was carried on NTL or Cablevision, which were two of the major cable companies in Ireland back around...

Who did they wrangle in to be their MMJ? It’s definitely bad but I have to say... Karen Carter makes Hank Winchester’s lisp look like the queens English... I hadn’t bothered to see the 11pm weather hit since Maddus retired. Everu S is a TH... Yikes. It says 10-11pm on my guide but at 1028 it appear...

For some reason, the Oakland Press and Macomb Daily associated themselves with that abortion. Not sure why.

I also remember the Downriver News-Herald being part of that association.

The newscasts will be produced at another CBS-owned station, which will add national news, sports and weather, then sent back to the station where it will air. In Detroit's case, it will be produced at another CBS-owned station that has a full news department. WKBD Detroit will debut 10 p.m. news J...

WDIV 4.4 is now on the air and is airing regular Cozi programming (right now The Munsters). Three days earlier than predicted!

RabbitEars has updated the WADL listing to show that QVC has replaced Cozi there. WDIV's listings still haven't been updated.

I think it was called Radio Discussions

You're correct. https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showth ... in-Detroit

RabbitEars isn't listing this yet.
