WXMI has been running promos that the weekday Morning News will be on from 5-10 beginning September 11. Currently is on from 4:30-9am. Just saw a Morning Mix promo that its time is changing from 9-10 to 1o-11. With Midday News at 11-12, this will put Fox17 live and local for seven consecutive hours....

Being an early riser, I noticed that Fox17 was doing their morning news this morning from the newsroom (similar setup that Unfiltered has been using with the vertical monitor). At the start of the 5am hour, substitute anchor Robb Westaby mentioned the different look was due to their current set bein...

Scott posted today on his Facebook page on Monday he will start as Operations Manager at WYCE. Nice job sleuths on figuring out where he was going from the hints.

What did he do out in California?

Obit says he pastored churches out there. No specifics on denominations or cities.

My guess? He's headed to WYCE. Aren't their studios in a former library on GR's west side? They (WYCE and GRTV, collectively known as the GR Community Media Center) occupy space on the second floor of GRPL's Westside Branch. And last I knew, Phil Tower was still in his second stint there as WYCE st...

Earlier today Scott Winters posted on his blog that he will be signing off from doing afternoons on WFGR after his March 24 airshift. Scott says he had been working three jobs (real estate, FedEx plane loading, WFGR) and as a result was diagnosed with exhaustion. Scott didn't say what he will be doi...

I too remember The Freeman File. He often picked on Suzanne Geha. He later was on WGVU-FM but was eventually let go. I remember a GR Press article quoting Bill about it and he felt that his liberal leanings clashed with the West Michigan Conservative mindset. Eventually he pastored Interfaith Congre...

What do you recommend indoor or outdoor TV antenna? Blendon/Georgetown/Hudsonville area? Not sure if they still sell them but during the analog to digital transition (analog ceased in 2009), I remember seeing at Gemmen's in Hudsonville a rooftop antenna that had multi-direction antennas mounted on ...

In reading Aris' biography, am I reading it correctly that, except for his first gig which was in Lansing, he only ever worked at stations in Grand Rapids?

Heading south to Gray-owned Atlanta News First (WANF, CBS 46)

The left pocket doesn't want to pay the right pocket?

I miss the former WaY-FM 89.9. Wasn't a big fan of the music personally, but that station had quality air staff, quality imaging, and great sounding audio. I never understood why Cornerstone didn't attempt to improve coverage into Ottawa County, which is an area where that programming likely would'...

News 8 is getting closer to making their old slogan "24 Hour" a reality. I took a look at a typical weekday schedule on their website and added in the upcoming changes taking effect September 12 (News 8 @ 4 replacing Ellen and Days of Our Lives moving to Peacock, being replaced with an afternoon nat...

the funny thing is the program guide for YouTube TV still shows Newsfeed at 4:30am. When it began as "Coronavirus: The Rundown" it seemed overkill to have a 30 minute daily program on the topic given it already just about the only thing the local and network newscasts were talking about. Will be int...

Cool to see the old promos surprised that WOTV/WoodTV aired prime Wheel in the first few years as I thought it was always WZZM in the 80s until WWMT took Wheel & Jeopardy combo in 93. I knew NBC aired morning/afternoon Wheel in the 80s. Also surprised to see Phil Don & Sally in the promo as I thoug...
