It can be placed at the top of the list for moronic gimmicks.

Re: 2022 Railroad Strike

I think the next rate hike will be at least 75 basis points. A full percent is certainly possible.

Re: Local and national automotive press are asleep at the wheel...again

The Jeep Compass is little more than a rebadged Fiat. Stay away, is my advice.

Radioandtventusiast - you are indeed correct. Vehicles from those nameplates are being provided by local dealers. The manufacturers themselves will not be here.

Re: Which mobile phone MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) are best?

Holy crap! Wish I would've known about this last weekend. GOOD FIND! My phone does indeed accept eSIM. However, even if I had tried to take advantage of this free offer, I'm not sure I would've qualified. The red print includes the following: Who is eligible for Network Pass? Non-T-Mobile customers ...

Re: Jethro FM on 105.1 Kalamazoo?

92.9 FM is an excellent translator signal in the G.R. area. It's right up there with 104.9 in terms of indoor reception or maybe one small notch below. I think they'd have little difficulty LMA'ing it or selling it.

Re: How radio chased away the next Howard Stern.

Zach Sang was never going to be a widely known household name or celebrity simply from being on radio. He *is* a talented broadcaster; I'll grant you that.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022

The amount of drops and missed completion opportunities for imperfectly thrown yet playable balls by the WRs was inexcusable. A few of those didn't matter because the Lions still scored TDs on those drives.

Goff was not the weakest link today. Was he great? No. Was he horrible? No.

Re: Detroit Lions 2022

They usually didn't quit last year, either. They wound up winning 3 games total. Even I recognize this team is capable of winning several more games this season than last. I just think it is highly unlikely they will crack the .500 barrier. They lack the necessary talent, in my view. A good number o...

Re: the old WJPW-AM 810

89.7 would not have worked for WTHS due to proximity to 89.3 WGNB, I presume. 90.1 and 90.5 are too close to WBLV. 90.7 evidently wouldn't have been spaced properly to WCSG, and perhaps wouldn't have met co-channel requirements relative to WAUS. WNHG has a null in the general direction of Lansing an...

Re: Detroit Lions 2022

Swift was awesome. Goff was mediocre but not terrible. Maybe even OK. WRs were awful, but we knew that would be a weakness this season. Defense was terrible, especially on third down. Campbell sucked. On side kick early in the third quarter was a stupid and unnecessary stunt that backfired, and cloc...

Does Loco 4 even do that gimmicky segment on its morning newscast anymore? I honestly don't know.
