Re: Something is missing from WHNE

These changes were made last week. It takes time to make all the updates! And in a normal business, the line up, website, sm announcement and channel guide would have been changed within hours of the actual reshuffling. It all takes the same amount of time to update, the difference is having manage...

Re: Jack O’Malley back on the radio

He certainly knows how to create success. I suspect his political career prevented him from returning to Traverse City. I can't imagine starting having to start over in Alpena. I wouldn't say that he's starting over after a 40 year career. He's the Operations Manager as well as doing afternoons. I ...

If you're just trying start a trend, then go for it.

Calling something by a name that you just made up and then post it a broadcast blog makes you sound like you you don't really know what your posting about and that your posts aren't worth reading!

Re: COZI-TV apparently on the sidelines, for now...

Nexstar Media Group has shuffled its OTA side-channel lineup, taking the "Stadium" betting/sports channel to 15.2, airing TheGrio on 8.3, where Stadium had been and thus, it's COZI-TV seemingly on the shelf for the moment. I know 54.3 through 54.5 still read "New Channel Coming Soon," and would wel...

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

If true, the station is seemingly afraid to promote it. I'm skeptical that tomorrow is the rollout. To roll out news with minimal promotion would suggest management has little confidence in the quality of the product. Is that the case here? I do not know. Could be that they're doing a "soft open" t...

Re: Coast FM in the mid 90s

The 94.5 tower was (maybe still is?) over in Hebron Township. I remember when it was 94.3. Used to drive near it going to my grandparents' house back in the '90s. Always created a bit of interference with any station when driving close by it. When Del changed to 94.5, the interference problem disap...

Re: LPTVs On The Air Testing

W28EJ and W30DQ are now testing and their IDs added, but although the COL is Charles, MI, it says Sault Set. Marie on the screen. Anyone know when the Elmhurst channels will be on from the WMKC tower? They were delayed earlier this spring because of getting heavy cement trucks on the roads in that ...

Re: WHNE adds Rewind TV, returns to UHF thru channel sharing

Where are the technical specifications for the Winegard, gain, pattern, etc.? Does it work well for WHNE? It looks like figure 8, 0 dBd on VHF Low, slight gain on VHF High due to parasitic elements, and UHF due to the UHF directors. Remember you get about 10 dB of noise free, passive gain from moun...

Re: WHNE adds Rewind TV, returns to UHF thru channel sharing

It would be nice if they could allocate a few more bits to those subchannels that have motion video and less to those shopping channels WHNE has 12 channels. 3 channels sell stuff. Don't you think that 9 channels of programing out of 12 is enough to entertain people? They do have to make money to o...

Nobody posted about it before because nobody could receive it, see it, or scan it. It seems nobody is interested.
So viewers in Lapeer can recieve WXON, but because you can't seem to recieve it, you think no one can see it. Very interesting!
