Re: I get amazed when shit actually works

I don't think they necessarily "get into the TV" by "getting into the home network". It's possible that the TV pings Sony's network for updates all the time, and something was stuck, and the agent pushed the update from the site for the TV to retrieve, using the access code to identify which TV is a...

Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED

I remember when Dick Purtan moved from Q95 to WOMC, he commented how if he had to hear Hootie and the Blowfish one more time, he was gonna go crazy.

Re: Promises Unkept …

I’m not a conservative. I wouldn’t dream of running up someone else’s bill. Others can vouch for my claim as well.

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

If “the other side" means countering the drivel that "we're not treated special enough" by the LGBTQ community, then it's also a pretty valid memo. It may be nothing to do with hate and discrimination, although that's always the first horse that some people jump on and run with. Jesus. Fucking. Chr...

Re: Bell Media shutting down some stations including CKWW.

580 is basically the only local terrestrial radio station I actually listen to for longer than 5 minutes. That sucks.

Re: 7.2 Million Views In 3.5 Hours

Are these numbers “views” or “impressions”? Views measure number of people watching it, and impressions are the number of times it loaded in a feed. Someone scrolling by without a second glance add an impression. Twitter recently blended those two metrics into one number labeled as “views”.

Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED

Aren't non-comm religious broadcasters supposed to be within 88-92 MHz, translators excepted? (WMUZ doesn't count since it's commercial.) We already lost 102.7, which I feel snuck in there during waves of translator and HD subchannel rotations. As if the Detroit dial wasn't bland and depressing enou...

Re: Was This Ransomware?

Not likely ransomware. Likely a browser hijack from an infected website or a bad popup. Alt+F4 it and it should go away without the drastic step of a hard shutdown like that.

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

I didn't say anything about being centrist either. Through the lens of neither dem or rep is in the centre of objectivity....... "Centrism" is the position of "both sides have a valid point." My point was that I can listen to conversations without either "side". I don't have to listen to a conversa...

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

I enjoy listening to CKLW's programming throughout the day. Aside from when they're talking about specific local or government issues, many of the topics and content are fairly relatable to an American. It's also refreshing to hear alternative perspectives that aren't put through the lens of "democr...

I wish WJR would sound a lot less like WJR and a lot more like WLW.
I wish we had a WGN in town.
