Re: WJMN TV to be sold to Morgan Murphy by Nexstar

It is in the Marquette market. Sounds like Morgan Murphy is trying to circumvent FCC ownership limits by using a variable interest entity to acquire WJMN. I am uncertain if the FCC views WBKP and WBUP as a satellite station situation or as a duopoly. If I were a betting man, I'd place my money on th...

Re: Channel 7 on-air talent has orgasmic reaction over ugly new D-E-T-R-O-I-T sign along I-94

The mock-up presented in connection with the funding request looks a 100x nicer than the real deal. A Detroit-based rapper is already writing disparaging lyrics regarding the new sign! (I agree 100 percent with his point of view.) https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/04/10/gmac...

Re: Channel 7 on-air talent has orgasmic reaction over ugly new D-E-T-R-O-I-T sign along I-94

Thanks for the info regarding the color choice, Rate This.

The sign should've been placed in a spot that was less congested, where more green space exists.

It looks oversized and unnatural on that tiny plot of land.

The Uniroyal tire is a much cooler landmark than this new sign is.

Channel 7 on-air talent has orgasmic reaction over ugly new D-E-T-R-O-I-T sign along I-94

I think the sign looks absolutely stupid in the location it was placed, and I think the wide spacing between its letters also looks goofy. I also am wondering why a teal color was chosen? The clowns on channel 7 last evening had an over the top enthusiastic reaction to the new signage. If I didn't k...

Re: CBS Weather Unit

I disagree. They're launching a new network to compete with TWC, Fox Weather and WeatherNation. This will effectively be a weather version of CBSN. CBS News has had a content partnership with The Weather Channel, which began shortly after Comcast (NBC Universal) divested the network. That agreement ...

C'mon, channel 62!

How is it that one of your MMJs does not know how to properly pronounce the name of the third most populous county in your viewing area?

Just saw a story about the MI House District 13 race. The MMJ butchered the name of Macomb County at least twice.

Re: Solar Eclipse April 8th

Amazing photo, bmw! Thanks for sharing that!

To answer an earlier question - glasses are unneeded at the point of full totality.

Some of the viewing events shown on TV from football stadiums and such were cool. Toledo had a very nice event on the UT campus.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024

The Tigers stink. The early winning streak was fool's gold. This is a .500 ball club at best as currently structured. This is hardly a great team, but better than decent pitching and a shit division means the Tigers should make things interesting all season long. Folks said the same thing a year ago.

Amazingly good weather across the vast majority of the path of totality in the USA. Even northern Maine had mostly sunny skies and temps near 60. Portions of south Texas and upstate New York had the highest percentage of cloud cover. I wish I would've traveled to Northern Ohio to see totality. It di...

A Denver originating Southwest Airlines flight, a Boeing 737-800, had one of its engine covers rip away mid-flight.
