Re: FOX 47 revolving door

Most of those "follows" are from his WJRT days. Then how do you explain the 30k on TikTok.. you know the one he made in lansing.. I assure you they didn't come from the three people who tune in. Again, no one in Lansing gives two shits about this newscast, and 99% of the area has no fucking clue wh...

Fascinating.
Show some respect. He was the guy from that one show everyone watched. He was also in that movie a few years back starring what's his name that was really funny.
You really don't understand how this whole RIP thing works...
I won't dispute that.

Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer

I didn’t see middle eastern people listed under “white” in that chart. Maybe I missed something. I do recall George Zimmerman being labeled a “white hispanic” back during 2012 and the trial where he was charged with murder of Trayvon martin. And here from NPR a term “multi-racial whiteness” came ab...

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers

Maybe make sure there are multiple people that check all graphics prior to broadcast — like the producer, executive producer, and director. Maybe that's already occurring, yet the sloppy errors are still making it to air? That's my thought. With technology and things like spell check, it should hap...

Re: EMF acquires WTSS Buffalo and WLFP Memphis from Audacy

The other thing that crossed my mind was how a sale like this could be good for the community? Only mention because it is hard for me to believe that a niche format with few listeners being placed on a high powered FM station can really be for the good of the community. Maybe the FCC doesn’t care? ...

Re: Demotions at Fox47

Gary is liked because he never says no to corporate. They want to lose anchors, Gary’s the first one to offer to slash positions. He has no new ideas, just excuses why his decisions are right and when it doesn’t result in bigger ratings or more ad dollars, then he blames others. It’s a old routine ...

Re: James McNutt has died

I believe I saw of movie of his back in the early 70s. He played a doctor who had a very unconventional, yet successful, way of treating a young coed who suffered some sort of downstairs ailment.

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers

Real leaders inspire… not shame their staff. I’m sure there are people who would love to suck up to their boss. I’m offended by his enail’s tone and would rather him donate the money. That way I wouldn’t be stuck in the same bar making idle chit chat with Brad. I suspect you and the "A day in the l...

Well that’s embarrassing when your boss calls you out for not knowing how to spell. It’s even more embarrassing when the email is passed along to FTV Live to put the entire station and its management team on blast. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/3/19/what-happened-at-wood You’d think that a...
