Re: Bow your heads over the death of STIRR

When you feature your station as 'live and local' during newscasts like STIRR did in NW lower MI, but attempting to watch it never works (Whose Line Is It Anyway or CSI:Miami always seemed to displace it) just proves that the owner doesn't care and/or is asleep at the wheel. Removing that owner is n...

Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now

What about selling off Fox 32? According to the following article (about a year old now), Heritage doesn't own Local 32... Cadillac Telecasting Company-owned WFQX, (is) a Fox affiliate that Heritage runs through an SSA https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/01/27/wwtv-9and10-new-logo-2023/ My guess is...

Re: Are You OK With Banks Helping Government Spy On Loyal Citizens?

ByeDon Government also wants a new rule that could limit bank overdraft fees to as little as $3. Not only is the government spying on us, so does Google. So, what do you think, everyone? Is it him again? I wouldn't rule it out. At the very least, it seems like a retread of a former user... That sur...

Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now

It appears the house VO person is now female... even the brewvine logo has changed. [snip] As for the former TC Manger, he was a POS that was run outta town. I wouldn’t believe a thing he said. Just go to 7&4 and 9&10’s website and you can see he was like every politician— going in front of cameras ...

Re: So shocking...

Saw this story yesterday... Hertz selling 20K EVs (about a 3rd of global total) to be replaced by ICE cars due to customer preferences, & high repair costs.

I should say Hertz is going to TRY to sell those EVs. Resale values of most EVs globally are dismal, when they can find a buyer at all.

Re: TCL TV Advice

Perhaps 480 content will always look better to long-time HD beholders on a 720p set than upconverted on any higher res set. My daughter had a FHD TCL Roku TV lent to her in between moves; it wasn't OLED quality, but performed fine (I also found the TV setup itself and integrated Roku rather slick an...

I believe they've been using the (Closer To Home) portion of GFR's "I'm Your Captain" in ads for Chevy (trucks?) recently... and it is the original.

Re: Parking

Who cares? Why did you go anal over a simple question? No one went anal. Someone gave a logical answer, almost like a page out of "Worst Case Scenario"... Is it easier to back out of a parking spot, or back into a parking spot. That's the question. Care to change your question, Mr. Park At The Pump...
