Accolades are nice, but do they pay the rent?

Re: Extreme cold air plunging down next week

Then there's this which prompted a statewide EAS alert Wednesday evening.

Re: Lansing - Nielsen Audio 12+ AQH results - Fall 2018 survey

I don't remember exactly when 92.1 flipped, but I'm pretty sure it was mid-book. Some of that number is residual from the old Sports/Talk format. I'd love to see the breakdowns as I'm sure Duke has made inroads to WITL's 35+ demo. Country, IMO, is probably the most rapidly-evolving music medium toda...

Re: Domino's Shooting

People go ape about the most minuscule things anymore. Sometimes I wonder if it's getting worse or we're just hearing more about it because of the internet. Seems every few weeks there's a story about someone freaking out and doing something rash (like pulling a piece) because they didn't get ketchu...

Re: Tinnitus Coping Tips

I've recently discovered that I have a condition known as Pulsatile Tinnitus . It can best be described as hearing a "squeaky" heartbeat in one or both ears. I notice it most when I relax after physical activity. Many times it's just a normal phenomenon that some people experience, although in some ...

Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!

Here in Charlevoix the Kmart is in the final week of their close out sale. Everything is 90%+ off. The parking lot has been full - checkout lines stretch to the back of the store - checkout wait was 2 hours. One person defended waiting that long saying it was like earning $300/hr. The pharmacy clos...

Re: Is Coke making a terrible error in business judgment?

At least weight isn't an issue for me. I've been consistently 20-30 pounds underweight for several years. Granted my AIC numbers have not always been within range. Some studies have shown that artificial sweeteners like aspartame can actually raise blood sugar levels higher than sugar or corn syrup ...

Re: Is Coke making a terrible error in business judgment?

I'm admittedly a cola junkie and have been since I can remember. Started drinking diet pop exclusively after I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 1996. The running between me and my wife is that she won't need to pay for embalming when I pass away due to the fact there's enough aspartame in my body to p...

Re: Two Anchors Out at WLNS

There are a lot of interesting stories I've heard about goings-on at WJIM-TV in the Gross Telecasting days. Perhaps one of the most interesting regarded the practice of double-billing. This was in the days when networks compensated affiliates for airing net spots. WJIM would sell network avails to l...
