Sorry Herm, but MW and Joe and Freak and Dial are right. Clifford's over dramatic Armageddon teases to try and get folks not change channels can definitely be a little over the top at times. Look at the ratings. Once Lewis puts the ribbons on the 5 O'clock, folks migrate over to "DIV. Yes or no? Ca...

Herm must work at channel 7.

I watched channel 4 at 6PM. Night & day difference in their weather report versus the bullshit on 7. I thought Kim Adams did a good job on her first day back.

I do!
But even if I didn’t, I would still think that you’re being overly dramatic.

Nice bullshit headlines and weather forecast advising of flood potential to lead off at 5PM. The upper level dynamics are not at all conducive of a significant heavy rain threat in SE Michigan. The best forcing is near and south of the state line. Any precip that forms here will be very spotty and ...

Ron was trained by Ahmad directly. He has come far since he started. I wonder if he will get a full meteorologist title soon instead of forecaster. Erik did well last week but the longer coverage seemed to wear on him today. With more time and practice he may improve. I'll give him one more chance ...

Furthermore, I wouldn’t underestimate the impact all of this will have. CBS62 getting a full news department in the manner that it is will change the ball game. CBS is not playing around with this. There’s a reason why other stations imo, are getting nervous. But that’s just my opinion, that’s all ...

Anyone have any insight on what happened to WXYZ street side studio? It was being used less and less even before COVID and now I haven’t noticed it being used in months? No noon newscast from it anymore. I drove by about a month ago and it was still there. Did they just abandon the concept? It’s be...

An open letter to Channels Two, Four and Seven: There used to be a time, in the not too distant past, when the local TV stations talked about ... wait for it ... local stuff. Different people at the station would grab a copy of the latest Oakland Press, Ann Arbor News, Livonia Observer, Macomb Dail...

Dave understands that news is a 24-7 job. However, you won’t see any manager, sales account exec, or other “non essential” personnel show up today. It would send a strong message if the GM or News Director would even pop in for a half hour to just thank his/her employees for having to sacrifice giv...

Nope. Now do you want to argue the question I posed? With station profits rising and cost of living/inflation at recent record highs, that fat cat station groups like Sinclair Broadcasting need to start paying a fair wage.

You never posed any question.

He’s publicly stated that he’s had opportunities before to go to the D but declined. His announcement today indicated it was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up. I’m guessing they threw a boatload of money at him (doubled his salary?), plus gave him Chief title. At least he’s out of the Sinclair hel...

Add Ahmad Bajjey to the weather team.

That's a great hire is Ahmad the chief at WWJ?

Errors that make it to air or print = fake news. It may be an inadvertent mistake, but it's still fake news nonetheless. Back in the day, news outlets used to issue corrections for their errors. These days, they don't seem to care. Not every on-air mistake is fake news and not every on-air mistake ...

Thanks for looking into it. In my opinion, hardly anyone would interpret those remarks as meaning results from a trading session that occurred the prior Friday. That copy was poorly written. The first phrase out of her mouth should've been: "the major stock exchanges were closed today..." So… not f...

These dum-dums just showed closing DJIA, NASDAQ and S&P 500 stats for today. Only one problem with that: STOCK EXCHANGES WERE ALL CLOSED TODAY FOR PRESIDENT'S DAY! I can only assume the displayed closing numbers were from last Friday's session. Great job on quality control, Broadcast House. How was...
