Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?
How are things going at 62? Haven't heard much in a while. I'm assuming all is well? Been a little bit since I last tuned in. That "studio" is driving me nuts. And no green screen for weather.

Re: Northern Michigan dual TV channel ID
Can someone please explain the point of dual TV IDs in Northern Michigan? IE 9&10 4&7 29&8. With digital television, the secondary ID can now be dropped as it is all virtual channels anyway. It just seems so clunky. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk If my understanding of FCC rules is correct, I...

Re: Why It Was WMSB On Channel 10
Speaking of educational, I always wondered why Lansing was allotted two stations for such a small market. The other was channel 69 if memory serves, I don’t think it was ever even applied for. There are very few stations on channel 69, mainly because that channel was as far as you could go on UHF i...

Re: Dorothy Zehnder dies
She was our across the street neighbor in Frankenmuth from before I was born, until I moved away at age 21. I'm going to her funeral Friday. She and her daughter Judy was at my mom's funeral in 2010. She had a good, long life. RIP Her funeral at St Lorenz church was packed. Afterwards, we all went ...

Re: WJML "AM 11" heard last night
They tore the front lean to off a couple years ago, leaving the transmitter and antenna equipment for 750 and 1110. Not sure what got thrown out, though Del was a big fan of the station and might have rescued them. They would still have to have some kind of simple studios there. I thought Del retir...

Re: Mackinaw City FM has just been sold
94.5 WYPV reportedly has been sold to Billy Sours (who just sold WBZV in the Hillsdale - Adrian area) for $140,000. He has applied to change calls to either WBSX or WSBX; I cannot recall which. I believe this station was previously relaying Q100 from Grayling. It is possible this station will retur...

Re: Clio NOT Cleo
I mentioned once in another thread I remember Mark Watkins at 7&4 learning correct pronunciation during the commercial breaks his first week. He'd do the initial forecast, butcher two or three towns, then apologize after the break.

Re: Look at all the FCC silent notifications in N. Michigan...
Someone should notify the folks over at Black Diamond Broadcasting of this.95.1 95.3 and 98.1 have been airing an open carrier for at least the last four hours. I'd like to say I'm surprised. But I can't. Seems almost everyone is airing open carriers now for one reason or another. I think most of t...

Re: Local news expansion
Many people who watch local news have been watching the same station for news for 30 or 40 years. In terms of OTA PSIP channel identification, the physical RF channel or former analog channel can be used. In terms of channel number references used in video graphics and on-air branding produced by t...
