Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk

MLB and Diamond made some sort of agreement today that will likely keep the Tigers on Ballys this year. The details will probably come out Jan 10th in the next scheduled court date.

Re: Demotions at Fox47

Simulcast WXYZ for all day parts except 6 and 10 which would be local Lansing and have local WX cut ins in the simulcasts. Then they can have a small staff that can focus on those 2 newscasts and do a proper job of it.

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week

Tigers could be playing on TV 20 this season. I'm guessing Illich would produce the show and sell it to 20 or 50 for cash and or time. Would be a golden opportunity for the technical crew who works the games to unionize and get a contract right off the bat. If Ballys Detroit loses the Tigers this se...

Re: WDIV Detroit Launches Newscast With 15-Minute, Commercial-Free Investigation

A lifetime ago Steve Wilson did an 18 minute investigation story on the collapse of Kmart on ch 7. Line 5 is a big story with a lot of competing interests. I'll have to watch it sometime.

Deena and Taryn are both in their 50's now. Hair dye, not smoking and sunscreen are the reasons Gen X looks way hotter in middle age than Boomers did.

Re: WJRT Changes

The Scripps Family Trust would only sell if someone grossly over paid, Allen looks like a bargain shopper and more likely would go after Sinclair stations in a fire sale.

Re: WADL didnt show the CW ACC football game this past saturday

Kevin and his dad have had a contentious relationship with Scripps since they moved next door some 30 years ago. From paying for the gate guard to landscaping and paving the driveway among other things there seems to always be a feud of some sort going on.

Re: Detroit News fires Charlie LeDuff over c-word insult

He already worked for Fox News, it didn't work out, so they parted ways. His highlight for the network was his Ferguson, MO coverage. Charlie has a lot of strengths but his major weaknesses is that he is shit live, he needs a ton of takes to nail his shtick.

What's the score of the Red Wings game? I think I'm dying...Send Rescue. Can anyone find this long lost audio? Someone did a skit on Youtube but it's gone.

The only 2 reporters I see in the field are Andres, Gino and a couple of their VO photographers.
