Re: AT&T Questions Broadcasters' Use of TV Spectrum

AT&T has little stake in OTA, they will make more money if people are forced to use cable or broadband for streaming.

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

WHNE-LD that actually tries ends up on RF 3 where many people won't even be able to pick them up. But WHPS, WUDT, WDWO, WLPC, and WULD all have better RF channels but I always delete them from my channel list.

Re: Mike Halloran coming to WDET for a special "Radios In Motion" show

Mike Halloran is one of my favorite DJs of all time, once I discovered him late night on WDET I followed him from radio station to radio station till he moved out west. I even remember during the early days of 88.7 "the Cutting Edge of Rock" there would be on air segments where he and Greg St. James...

Re: wllz

There was like 5 minutes of dead air after the deep cut of the day, "Let It Go" Def Leppard, before "Summer of 69" Bryan Adams. Almost thought Doug Podell passed out or there was going to be another format change.
