Re: Paul W. Smith moving to middays + other changes at WJR

The show opens with that awful bluegrass style ukulele theme that doesn't fit and never has.
I definitely agree on that point.

Re: Will Cumulus be Selling Any GR Stations?

I appreciate the info posted here in response to my earlier post.

Is 140 watts ERP or 1,210 watts ERP sent toward Holland Charter Township (nestled between the city of Holland and Zeeland)?

Re: Heather's delivery of the news on 97.1

She serves no purpose on that show. Does anyone tune in for her contribution to the show?

She's only there so the station can say it has a female on the air staff.

Heather's delivery of the news on 97.1

It's fucking brutal. Why does her delivery sound like she's talking to Stoney and Jon as opposed to the listening audience when reading her stories?

The corny music bed simply serves to add an extra layer of annoyance.

Re: Draft Lottery

Weaver's selection of Ausar Thompson at #5 overall stinks. His adaptability to the NBA game is questionable, and he's a guard who is a somewhat unreliable 3-pt shooter. Grading seemed much more harsh of the trade made to acquire Marcus Sasser at #25, which I don't understand. The Pistons already hav...

Re: Will Cumulus be Selling Any GR Stations?

I was surprised at how flimsy LAV's signal was in Holland Charter Township earlier this week during the middle of the day. 96.9 from the Kenosha area was interfering a significant amount. Signal even fluttered a bit in Georgetown Twp, where it should be coming in like gangbusters.

9&10. Their logo looks like a giant comma.

Re: New Amherstberg Radio Station Now Testing With July 3 Launch Date

During tropo in particular that is a possibility. 107.9 from Cleveland makes it into that area on occasion, too.

Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)

The ATVA is almost certainly correct on this point (hence, the $75 million purchase price): But the ATVA said the FCC shouldn’t be fooled by Mission’s proposed acquisition of WADL, because the deal really gives Nexstar total control of the station. To date, all of Mission’s stations are operated by ...

Re: New Amherstberg Radio Station Now Testing With July 3 Launch Date

W300DI is definitely directional - the signal is very weak in the Birmingham, NW Royal Oak, and Berkley area - but I do suspect the actual radiation pattern is significantly looser than the licensed parameters. Extra ERP is probably being sent toward SW Detroit.

What 7&4 does is a Sinclair thing (WWMT does the same thing with its morning newscasts), and personally, I hate all that clutter on the screen.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

13 has covered Pride extensively with live hits and stories from Muskegon and Grand Haven pride. I would assume they'll do the same with GR Pride.
Didn't the GR event take place on Saturday?

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

So, the issues with Tang's interference attempts run deep, and this episode was hardly the first incident. I suspected that might be the case. Good find, Sinklair. Thanks for posting that info. I agree he probably won't survive this. He certainly shouldn't survive this if the reporting of his workpl...
