Re: A rare rebuke by the Detroit Free Press against a Democrat in prominent elected office!

It has been very difficult to retrieve news articles regarding Lyola's "history." Most news outlets refuse to report on that, and Google has made it very difficult to find such info when performing a search. News 8 is the one news outlet who reported on his conviction history, but the report has sin...

Re: A rare rebuke by the Detroit Free Press against a Democrat in prominent elected office!

Lyola has been convicted of three auto thefts previously. He has never been charged with possessing a firearm or knife in commission of a crime, to the best of my knowledge. He was convicted as a misdemeanor offender on all three occasions, which is astounding to me. I presume he accepted plea deals...

Re: I disagree with our weather forecasters on TV

I've gotta give channel 4 some credit. They did a pretty good job on the snowfall forecast on the Sunday evening newscast. The heaviest swath fell a little farther south and west than forecast, but all-in-all, they did a decent job forecasting a tricky system. Two inches fell on the grass here, whic...

Re: Cumulus Media to be swallowed up

Larry Wilson was well respected, too, but due to overly aggressive acquisition activity got out over his skis at Alpha. The company that used to embrace "live, local radio" now uses a ton of syndicated content from third parties, voicetracking, and jockless dayparts as a result. Their Saginaw and su...

Re: Verdicts in Whitmer kidnapping trial have been read

I guess I'm a swamp creature Republican. I think it is ridiculous that Croft and Fox were not convicted (especially the former). One or both of these men are capable of committing an atrocity similar to the Brooklyn subway shooting. I am OK with the guy from Lake Orion and the guy from Canton being ...

Re: A rare rebuke by the Detroit Free Press against a Democrat in prominent elected office!

An attack on a police officer is an attack on civilized society in general as well as the current power structure. Allowing an assault on a police officer is akin to allowing an attack on us all. Is someone willing to assault a police officer not a danger the the general public? I agree with Matt. ...

Re: WOOD-FM transmitter fried by lightning strike

Automation issues galore this weekend, and the audio from syndicated programming sounded a bit garbled and flimsy. I cannot recall another time where the on air programming sounded so poorly executed. As for the signal, it's definitely better than when the station was using auxiliary facilities, but...

Re: Cumulus Media to be swallowed up

I disagree. The guy who runs Connoisseur is a Lew Dickey wannabe. Adding a bunch of LBO debt onto the existing Cumulus portfolio is a recipe for disaster, if you ask me.

I cannot rank them in such an order until I know who the GOP nominee will be for each office. I will not vote for DePerno under any circumstance.

Re: A rare rebuke by the Detroit Free Press against a Democrat in prominent elected office!

I am inclined to agree with Matt. The officer mishandled the situation. That isn't solely my opinion; that is the statement made by several experts who currently or have previously served in law enforcement (including a high ranking Detroit PD official who was interviewed on WDIV the day the video f...

Re: Big announcement at WVFN?

The spacing of that one was fine vis-à-vis WKLQ. However, it stepped on WCEN's toes big time. I was surprised WMGC in Detroit complained regarding 105.1, because I always lost the signal of the WKAR translator prior to reaching the Ingham / Livingston border, and during normal atmospheric conditions...

You are correct regarding the wind events; chief meteorologist Ellen Bacca of WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids produced a report that aired during their 7PM newscast this past Thursday about the high frequency of high wind events YTD. https://www.woodtv.com/video/ask-ellen-are-high-wind-advisories-becoming-m...

Re: Cumulus Media to be swallowed up

Cumulus has neither accepted nor rejected the offer. Even if a deal were to be agreed to in principle, there would likely need to be shareholder approval, and a number of other pre closing hurdles would also need to be satisfied to each party's liking.
