Re: Texas News in Flint

Well, as to the egg prices, depends what brand, organic or not, size, etc.

Similar to the "gas prices" that a lot of stations were doing for a while. One could easily go to <state>gasprices.com and find out for themselves.

Was this because of tropospheric issues that 7&4 had back then? Sunrise Communications - Onaway (2022) 2- QVC 3- WFQX 4- WTOM 5- CBLT 6- C...

Re: Old Cable TV Line ups(New thread)

I think I saw that WGTU aired Sesame Street for a couple of years, but WGTU didn't make it to the UP until after WCML came on. That's interesting! I could see that though, as "Good Morning America" didn't start until (I think) 1975, and lack of local morning programming (assuming it aired in the mo...

Re: Ron Hilliard exits Pierson Rd

Local tv news is dead. Especially at nbc25
I heard the rumor of a potential buyer for nbc25 and wsmh and that an announcement could be coming of a sale in December.
if true, maybe the new owner will fix the situation

Re: Surprise format change in Alpena

The Wave now uses Local Radio Networks' Classic Hits format. It's the same service 97.7 WTGV in the Thumb area uses. They're pretty much centered in the '80s, but I've heard '90s songs there such as "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal and "Every Heartbeat" by Amy Grant. They're definitely not the '50s-'70s ...
