Re: Tornado coverage

Have you watched WWMT recently? They are not in the same league as WOOD or the other stations. The only reason they pull any viewership is because they have carved out their own audience in the Kzoo end of the market where the other 3 stations choose to go after and split up the Grand Rapids end of ...

Re: Weather Boys

If you want to be an influencer. Go for it.

But if you want to work in the news, you should try to have some credibility. The Weather Boys have none.

Re: WOOD promoting Carlson & Cuomo

LOTS of swearing — usually about how bad Sinclair was… and how bad crime was… and how bad our broken political system was… and how bad the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, and Lions were.

Re: More layoffs at 9&10 News

I heard no notice, they were just called in and told their jobs were eliminated. They were given some sort of lame severance and a box of vegetables. Truth is right about networks being part of the problem. Stations have basically 2 revenue sources: commercial ads and retransmission rights. Ad reven...

Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire

I think CMU is still trying to figure out how to hold a membership telethon to pay to replace batteries in the transmitter’s smoke detector.

Re: FOX 47 revolving door

Brad has always believed he’s the smartest person in the room. He’s not, tho.

People were glad when he left WJRT. Now this so called Scientific Communications Manager needs to be brought down a peg or two.

Re: Lansing is losing Antenna TV and Circle

I thought networks had to approve changes to affiliate logos when they use the network logo in them. That’s not the case when affiliates remove the network logos?

Re: Broadcasting burnout

Yep, their digital desk or some type of branding like that. WNEM is having Christina Burkhart launch their live streaming one-person desk. Mid-Michigan NOT Now! recently launched their desk and just hired a Lansing reporter named Kyle Makin to anchor their live desk. Because adding on a self-directe...

If that study is true, then I worked with freaking Mensa level genius directors back in the 90’s — who used f- bombs every other word.

Not horror, just juvenile. Stuff you’d expect to see in small markets, not a top 20 market like Detroit.

Language, Matt. Time to start using your word of the day calendar to expand your vocabulary so you can express your outrage/ire/fury/anger/rage against Deadspin’s demise/closure/cancellation/shutting down.
