Re: Power Outage Map

DTE is a regulated utility that requires Lansing's approval for any and all proposed rate increases. I am unaware of any prior instance where they've been able to successfully sue in court to force a rate increase. Their ability to pay dividends to shareholders should be tied to service reliability ...

Re: Major snowstorm brewing

The model placement of the low pressure system's track has diverged in the latest runs. The Euro model is showing a much more westerly track and shifts the heaviest snow a good 100 miles to the northwest of the others. I think a 3 to 6 inch snow is still a medium possibility for a swath of SE Michig...

Re: 93.1 has one of the worst "country" music playlists I've ever seen

I agree on the first point. I'm not sure about the second.

If 760 were to gain an FM signal, I bet Audacy would ditch Alt 98.7 within 72 hours thereafter.

Re: Country radio revenue numbers

The data I cited is from 2018, and yes, AM/FM revenue has definitely declined since then. Revenue has not fully returned to pre-COVID levels.

Re: Major snowstorm brewing

My initial thinking for Friday is medium confidence of at least 3 to 6 inches of snow for a good swath of SE Michigan. Areas near the Ohio border are likely to see lower snow totals as a result of a wintry mix.

Re: Just What Late Night TV Needs...

Everyone is trying to be Jon Stewart these days, and almost none of these folks are as funny or as charismatic as he was.

I, too, miss the irreverence and light-heartedness of how late night TV monologues used to be.

Too bad the Tigers themselves aren't going away. I'm already tired of the team's campy commercials for tix featuring Dickerson's shouting.

Re: Major snowstorm brewing

Most areas in Metro Detroit will likely fall a few degrees short of NWS predicted daytime highs. Still 32 or 33 in many places. The warm front has made almost zero progress advancing northeastward today.

Thundersnow is showing up on radar by Clare right now.

Re: Jordan Strack out at WTOL

He was reportedly promoting sports betting referral links on his social media pages ahead of the Super Bowl. It is unclear to me if he earned any income from such referrals.

If this is indeed the reason for his departure, it's an overreaction on the station's part, in my opinion.

Re: Major snowstorm brewing

The 38 degree temp won't happen until late afternoon or early evening in the northern suburbs, and I think far north won't get that mild. Things north of M-59 could be quite dicey today. I'm receiving a rain sleet mix at my house right now. Temp is 33. Some surfaces in my yard are below the freezing...

Re: Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) is a piece of shit.

You provided an explanation of why Adams feels the way he does. I simply did the same relative to the 26 percent. It was not my intent to "defend" their views; I was attempting to explain why they responded as they did. For what it's worth, if I would've guessed the number out of thin air, I would'v...

Re: Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) is a piece of shit.

Does a racist "identify as black" ? He was being sarcastic when he made that remark. The irony is by cancelling his comics, they've actually given him an arguably even bigger platform because now his video is approaching 300,000 views. I would contend it is the reporting of his comments that is pro...

Re: Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) is a piece of shit.

Negative views"? You mean "racist views." You're outright defending the racist views held by 26% of black people. Nice. I'm not defending their views at all, and I agree that the 26 percent who responded in that way are racist. Don't twist my words. Those who hold that negative opinion of all white...
