Re: Coolio dies at 59

I liked Coolio, but he was only relevant for a few years.

Re: long-term look at the DTE rates

Great analysis.

Yet another reason to dislike DTE. They should reduce shareholder dividend payments and instead invest that money in infrastructure. Until that dividend is greatly reduced, state regulators should hold the line on rate increase requests.

They are not adding Dave and Chuck until October 10, I believe. The lengthy 6a break happened this morning (Saturday).

Re: WGER flips to 106.3 The Core

Looking at the log, a commercial break during the 11p hour last night and during the 6a hour this morning were each nearly or exactly eight minutes in length!!! Joby, I know you read these forums on occasion. Do you think 8 minute long commercial breaks is a good programming practice? Just curious. ...

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

They've been playing that song a few times a week for a while. The failed PD from Minneapolis (Go 96.3 earned some of the worst ratings in the history of that market) who supposedly calls the shots at 98.7 despite living hundreds of miles away needs to follow in KROQ's footsteps by doing the same ty...

Re: WGER flips to 106.3 The Core

They play a LOT of commercials, which is a big turn off to potential listeners. All that does is send rock listeners back to Z93 (or Sirius XM, Pandora or Spotify). You forgot Banana 101.5 which can be heard pretty well in Saginaw and Bay City I did not mention Banana simply because WWBN has never b...

Sirius XM playlists are so much better than lame FM radio that it ain't funny. And NO COMMERCIALS to boot!

Re: DeSantis orders Americans to leave their homes

Well, I know neither of you actually believe what you're spouting, but I agree with what you're saying. I do not think that the feds should really be having to step in and handle these kinds of "emergencies". They are not unknown threats and each state should have its OWN emergency fund that takes ...

Re: This Civil Forfeiture BS needs to stop!!

Civil asset forfeiture has been abused for far too long by law enforcement agencies. 100% agree with km1125 here. We also need to dramatically overhaul so-called "Qualified Immunity." That concept has been applied much more broadly than the Supreme Court likely envisioned when it ruled on the questi...

Re: google chrome

I think you have malware or perhaps memory modules in your PC are starting to die. Chrome should not be doing that.

Dell does make some pretty lousy PCs - I had a chipset die on a desktop PC of theirs that was only 30 months old - so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it's a hardware issue.

Re: WGER flips to 106.3 The Core

Do you mean in terms of taking on an incumbent, highly successful hard rock station? Bear in mind Detroit had multiple stations playing hard rock or alternative at the time, whereas the Tri-Cities has only one (Z93), unless you wish to count Christian Rock Radio U 101.7 / 103.5. You are correct inso...

Re: DeSantis orders Americans to leave their homes

Radar shows the area near North Port, FL (SE of Venice) has seen more than 15 inches of rain, and it's still raining there, although the rain should wind down there in a few hours. The strong offshore wind in the Tampa area has largely emptied Tampa Bay! All the water has gone out to sea. Much diffe...
