Re: The Point Show on Wood

Rick Albin worked for an elected official in Arkansas as I recall, not Michigan, and that occurred decades ago.

Tim Russert was indeed great, and let's not forget he once worked for Senator Moynihan of New York.

Re: Weather reporting

I've noticed the smell of burning timber on three different occasions over the past few weeks. Indeed, it seems most pronounced in the morning and early evening, and each time I noticed the odor, there was a noticeable layer of smoke in the sky.

Re: Weather reporting

Agreed. I've seen multiple local weathercasts discussing the wildfire smoke plumes and the associated air quality alerts. Two weathercasts I saw on 4 and 7 even showed an animated forecast graphic regarding smoke plume movement.

Re: What happened to Ronnie Dahl on channel 12?

I think she jumped ship from 2 to 7. Not sure if her departure from 7 was voluntary or not.

That era of WXYZ news was terrible.

Re: The B-93 Morning Show.

I've never been that much of a fan of Matt's work on the B93 morning show. He's not bad but he's nothing special, either. Just seems to go through the motions. I also agree with sholmes that the playlist is unimpressive. I hear too much of what I'd call country pop music or techno-country. Dan + Sha...

Re: No rain for weeks

I'm encouraged by the rain chances for Sunday and Monday. They look pretty good right now. That's still a looooong way away, though.

The below average temps this week will help temper the ill effects from the current dry streak and should make watering more effective.

Re: Paul W. Smith moving to middays + other changes at WJR

I'm pretty sure Tom Jordan is of mixed race.

WJR will have a local programming block of some kind in the 5a hour.

Plenty of non-white broadcasters on 910 and 1130, both of which command audience sizes that are minuscule compared to WJR.

Re: Auto Insurance

Frankenmuth is good; have only heard positive things about them. I advise checking online reviews regarding claim handling and AM Best financial strength ratings, though, before going with any insurer that a broker may use. My Progressive bill for the upcoming six month renewal just arrived. For unl...

Re: FM power in different areas

WLAV isn't meant to be heard in Manistee and Ludington, and why would the station undertake so much expense & effort for something that wouldn't add one penny of ad revenue? Sounds like a good way to throw money down the drain for a company that is already navigating financially choppy waters. Heck,...

Re: Paul W. Smith moving to middays + other changes at WJR

There is a massive gap between 12th place (4.1 share) and WJR's 14th place (2.4 share), and of course, WJR's rank and share are much worse when examining Adults 25 to 54. WWJ's 4.1 share is abnormally weak for that station; perhaps numbers have taken a hit as a result of recent personnel changes the...
