One solution I heard was using all caps for the call signs.

WWMT in Kalamazoo was airing its midday news as normal on Monday. TBD, TND, infomercials, and 'Seniors CAN save money on their car insurance'... ad nauseum [on 7 & 4 and 29 & 8]. If going by the program guide on Spectrum alone, things are still far from 'normal' @ Budgetelevision, 3 weeks in. As I ...

I remember WXON did have a show that had been the early stages of music videos in the early 70's.

The show was "C-Sharp", which aired on the old channel 62 around 1971 (maybe earlier). It was off the air by the time WXON moved to channel 20.

Sohn has even gone as far as publicly stating that Sinclair is unfit to hold licenses to run TV stations.

Considering that some of Sinclair's stations (such as 25 and 66) are still reeling from last month's ransomware attack almost one full month ago, I second that emotion.

Incidentally, part of that period you charted (8am-12pm Sunday) is where they rerun the old Casey Kasem American Top 40/American Top 20 Christmas specials, in the same timeslot where they usually run AT40 The '80s. A lot of the older songs not on the corporate Premium Choice playlist (i.e. Yogi Yor...

25-66 & CW46 still can't get the syndies on the air in Flint Sinklair? WWMT & CW7 is back to normal airing the syndies I haven't any problems other than L3's still not on the air. Apparently, Sinclair has fixed its top-rated and higher-market stations first, while leaving lower rated, smaller-marke...

Rumor has it that WNEM and WJRT have been approached by the Ellen syndicators of finishing out the season because they are getting fed up about the show not airing the past 2 weeks and during sweeps. They feel Sinclair is in breach of their contract. Any bets that NBC and Fox will be following suit...

Teddy, you thinking WTOL could spin-off WUPW to the Scripps boys for some quick cash? Also... tune into WNWO. Those jacktards have a 'billboard' slide that states that "We are stupid and got hit by ransomware. We are giving the ransomware people free publicity with this notice. We also can't air an...

It seems that Sinclair is tending it its larger markets and higher-rated stations first, letting the smaller markets and "bottom dwellers" to fend for themselves. The consequence of this is that there may be fewer viewers of stations such as 25 or 66, once their problems have been resolved. If your ...

Two radio stations owned by Martz Communications in New York State, both serving Montreal with a Top 40 and Country format, has flipped to Christian networks K-Love and Air1 yesterday after being sold to the Educational Media Foundation:

Matt: the Church Street Bridge over I-69 is less than a mile from the WJRT studio. https://nbc25news.com/news/local/church-street-over-i-69-in-flint-closed-for-bridge-repairs-effective-immediately Considering that the overpass is literally in WJRT's neighborhood, it goes beyond saying it was a rook...

NO, 600 WTAC went from hard rock to "Town & Country" on July 12 or 13 of 1981!! I saw on WNEM 5 when anchor Mel Serow broke the news in the final segment!!! When our folks and I moved to Florida in 1979, WTAC was still Top 40 -- until we moved, I thought that Top 40 on FM was still a foreign concep...

So what's the deals with 1560 in NYC? If they go dark, then 1560 Toledo should be allowed to fire-up 1.5KW at night instead of 3 watts since the clear channel frequency in New York is unused, and I can't see how California can still dictate this ole daytimer frequency? Current law states that stati...

A columnist at Radio Insight compares a 106.7 Lite FM in New York City with a recently launched station with a similar name in a suburb of Montreal:
