Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

I agree regarding the awkwardness. The narrowness of that room makes it anti-photogenic. I wonder what is on the other side of the wall where the weathercast monitor is mounted? That wall, ideally, should not be there. The space would look much more open without it. Hi MW and All, If anyone from th...

Re: 9&10 Hires New Anchor

There are actually several new faces on 'vine & 10, but the geniuses in marketing there have yet to post them on the stations' website. Seems fb or nuthin' these days...

Here is part of a post that the Strong Tower Radio network sent out to its listener/supporters a few days ago: "The Grand Haven Strong Tower Radio station 93.1fm returned to the air (earlier this month) but at reduced power and therefore reduced coverage; until we can receive a device to filter unu...

Re: WDET - another station that needs to get its engineering QC together

Hey MW, Seeing your post reminded me that WLLZ had those construction permit filings with the FCC in 2022, for both main and auxiliary use occurring from WDET's transmitting location. Turns out the primary transmission's construction permit (for 39kW) diplexed through WDET's existing omnidirectional...

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

I'm finding that on 12/30/2022, the FCC approved the WLLZ primary signal construction permit for diplexing a 39kW transmission through the existing WDET omnidirectional antenna. The FCC had earlier approved (on 9/13/2022) the auxiliary construction permit for WLLX to diplex 37kW through the existing...

The tower it's from is on Cedar Run Rd., a mile straight north from ...

Re: WWTV at low power?

I wonder how deep into Kent County the signal travels if using an outdoor antenna? Would not surprise me if some folks in Alpine, Plainfield, Cannonsburg and Grattan Twps. are able to receive it (rescan would be required, of course). Alas, my hope that the efforts on the WWTV tower would see throug...

Re: ABC12 News Director calls it quits

*maybe* someone will be hired that knows what they're doing? As it seems almost the entire market has gone to hell. I could be wrong about that thinking though. Might they just promote the recently hired assistant news director Mr. Sean Mahon? https://www.michiganmedia.com/2022/10/21/sean-mahon-joi...

It's not just the 2 LPTV filings for Harbor Springs/Elmhurst that the Iacobelli family is acquiring from the "RF squatters" that held the construction permits. From this FCC filing and others, I've seen 10 LPTV construction permits noted: https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/views/public/ass...
