Re: RIP Major League Baseball (new stupid rules for next year)

Minor league (even semi-pro) baseball games can definitely be fun to see live on a nice summer evening. I have friends back in the Grand Rapids area who attend Whitecaps games several times a year. As far as minor league baseball is concerned, the game experience has come a long way from decades ago...

Re: WNIC HD 2 Gone

Its main purpose is to feed FM translators and to transmit data services, I would say.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...

I think the reversal of Roe v. Wade really tipped the scales in the Dems' favor in purple states like Michigan. The Democrats won the special U.S. House election in Alaska for Don Young's former seat a couple weeks ago. If the Democrats can win a statewide race in Alaska, and in particular, a Congre...

Deny is the one song by Default that I enjoy. Completely agree regarding "Like a Stone."

Re: Don't Go "Walking In Memphis" Anymore

A cousin of mine, visited Memphis once and he told me that, he thought it was one of the most crime ridden run down cities he's seen in The United States. Memphis has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. It is also impoverished. https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/local/me...

Re: RIP Major League Baseball

I hate these rules changes, especially #2 and #3. They are beyond idiotic, essentially serve to prohibit good defense, will lead to an absurdly high number of play reviews, and they will greatly devalue situational management from the dugout. Looks like the game is being reshaped to reward speedy ba...

Re: AM Radio might have 10 more years

AM radio will likely be around for several more decades, it'll just become increasingly marginalized and removed from most mass produced receivers with time. The programming will increase consistently of fringe preachers and foreign language programming. By the way, is Bell Media ever going to get o...

Sweet Emotion is a very tired song, IMO. Let CSX play it.

Re: Which mobile phone MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) are best?

Well, I just switched to T-Mobile's "Connect" prepaid plan. Their online order form has a glitch or two, but I was able to soldier through it. My zip code's post office is different than my actual municipality, which caused the e911 data form to pitch a fit, but a redo resolved the issue somehow. Wa...

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???

WRIF also needs to play something from Aerosmith other than "Sweet Emotion" (which they play 1,000 times a week seemingly, including right now), "Mama Kin" or "Dream On." Might not be as annoying if the recording quality were better. There's not a remastered version of that song?

Re: the old WJPW-AM 810

Thanks! WEHB --> WBYW --> WAYG --> WNHG. When I first heard the station, the TX had already been moved to the Plainfield / Northland Dr. area. I do not know if it was omni or directional from that site. I just know that the signal was awful in the south suburbs! I miss the former WaY-FM 89.9. Wasn't...

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???

I'm not a fan of "Wasting My Time" by Default, but I don't dislike it as much as the vast majority of singles released by Nickelback.

I disagree big time with you, 48125, regarding "Like a Stone" by Audioslave. Although not one of my favorites, I think that is a quality song.

Re: Former WNEM retires

I just saw Jim report at the very top of WXYZ's newscast this evening. I tuned in a minute or two late. Had no idea he was retiring!

I've enjoyed his work at both WDIV and WXYZ.
