Re: College Basketball 23-24

One of the worst losses in Spartan history. Not that this team was gonna survive the 1st weekend of the tournament, but now we won't make it. Streak is over. Blowing a 12 point lead at home to an interim coached shitty squad without its 2nd best player is beyond inexcusable. Izzo is the GOAT, but t...

Re: 2024 Primary Results Thread

Proof positive it was (and is) stupid of Haley to remain in the GOP primary race. Nah, I disagree. Even though the delegates are "winner-take-all," the fact that Haley took nearly 40% of the vote is proof that Trump isn't nearly as popular among Republican voters as he wants everyone to believe. An...

The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow

Kind of surprised I haven't seen it mentioned in here, yet, but the far-right Ottawa County Board of Commissioners is looking to oust John Gibbs as County Administrator (even though they hired him as one of their first orders of business after being sworn in): https://www.woodtv.com/news/ottawa-coun...

Well Michael Behrens isn't going to be chief at 13. He's moving to Columbus Ohio. Guess Sam will end up chief. I wonder if they hire Kolton Woods?
Honestly, if Sam does become chief, that would be pretty cool because we'd then have two women as chief meteorologists in this market.

Re: George Lessens retiring

After Bill Steffens left TV-13 wx to move to crosstown WOOD-TV, I recall TV-13 often promoting George as a born and raised in West Michigan weathercaster, because Steffens wasn't! They also started promoting him as the "longest tenured meteorologist at a single station in West Michigan" on the exac...

This will make WWMT's Keith Thompson the area's longest serving meteorologist at a single station. He's been at Channel 3 for around 35 years.
I imagine it won't be long before Keith retires, too.

Of course, the question is, who will become Chief at WZZM?

Re: 2024 Primary Results Thread

Oh he was angry. He wanted Haley to officially drop out and endorse him. She didn't and that is getting under his skin. Not sure why since he has won both contests so far. Let her stay in, makes it interesting. Makes no sense to me, why he would be that mad. Because he views her as disloyal for run...

Re: New meteorologist at WOOD-TV

She has about as much passion for reporting the weather as Bill Steffen does. I don't see her leaving too easily, but perhaps stepping back somewhat over the next several years. Have a feeling that Ellen is going to leave WOOD TV since she had the baby and wants to be a stay-at-home mom. they will ...

Re: WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game

Here's a hypothetical question for engineers and those in the know: why on earth won't WOOD-TV8 quit relying on some dodgy out-of-town amateur hour operation 300 miles away, and actually build their OWN master control hub instead? Keep things in-house, for better reliability and control....lord kno...

I give their engineers credit for quickly resolving the issue. Job well done.

Are WOTV and WXSP still off the air?
It looks like everything is back to normal now.

Re: Lions game blacked out screen

I take it this issue is not limited to Xfinity and also involves their OTA signal? The dumbasses need to find a way to move the broadcast to either WOTV or WXSP. WOTV and WXSP were also dark due to the issue in Indy. I've been watching the game off antenna, and since it came back on it's just been ...
