...and they lost in blowout fashion to boot!

There's a different mock-up than that one. I agree that the one you found doesn't look very different than the real thing.

The sign reminds me much more of the "Toronto" sign in downtown Toronto (in a public square) than the iconic Hollywood sign.

The Toronto sign has a better design than this one and is located in a far more sensible location.

So, that means the audience draw will be consistent with 1340's other programming.

Cumulus and its predecessor, Citadel, completely botched the opportunity to get a decent translator for 1340.

106.1's coverage is putrid.

Great info - thank you!!!

We shall see whether or not the FCC approves the proposed transaction. They might not given the fact Morgan Murphy presumably has some sort of connection to the proposed buyer and already owns WBKP and WBUP.

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...

Whatever happened to Karen Carter there? Is she doing weather at all?

I saw her on the air broadcasting live from downtown on Opening Day.

Dave Rexroth still does to this day. It bugs me.

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...

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.

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...

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 ...

Most folks call it that on purpose, though.

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.

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.
