Re: TV Weatherman calls out jive alerts, Sinclair fires him

It wasn't a smart idea to go on an extended rant on-air as he did. That was rather unprofessional of him. Also, I've never seen this "Code Red" verbiage used on WWMT - a fellow Sinclair-owned station. This supports the notion that individual stations do have some flexibility. My guess is the weathe...

Just changing chairs on the boat is all Dana should have kept the charges as is. I don't trust her I have disliked her from the beginning for AG Pat Miles would've been the much better choice as AG on the Dem side would maybe have voted for Pat if he won.

Re: Janet Mason to Retire...

I'm surprised that WZZM hasn't just put The Justice Network on .2 and just shutdown OnTarget Weather Network and move Quest to .3 just my opinion. It wasn't until June of 2015 when Charter added OnTarget Weather Network was taken off last year for Quest I think Comcast also did that as well. WZZM wo...

7.4 is on air, stunting with CourtTV promotional pieces.
"Launching this Wednesday, May 8" in the corner.
Same thing is going on with Lansing's WSYM 47.4.
It's WSYM 47.5 from Court TV's website. Will be on WXMI Fox17 in Nov 17.3 which is This TV until Nov.

Re: Sinclair Seen As Top Bidder At Fox Regional Sports Network Auction

I see Stadium content going onto 21 RSN's that Sinclair bought wonder what they're going to call the new RSN's? I pretty much knew that Sinclair was the top bidder when it was a handshake deal a week before it was made public that Sinclair was buying the FOX Sports RSN's.

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune

Yeah, I saw that WXMI was adding Court TV on the Court TV website last week coming in Nov as well. Which means that Antenna TV & This TV move to Nexstar as they are going to be the new owners of those networks when the merger is final in the fall. And I can see a swap between Nexstar & Scripps for a...
