Re: Past WJBK network slogans
I despised that "TV2 is yours" and the crappy logo that looked like it was designed by grade-schoolers, The slogans that followed "2 Together for The Look of Detroit" and "2 is the one!" Both of them were much better concepts and had classier looking logos. Still not impressed with "Fox 2". It might...

DISH Network supports quality TV in Lansing, Grand Rapids and other locations
Well done, DISH! Thank you for supporting quality television by giving America a much-needed reprieve from the inferior Deathstar broadcasting group (legally known as nexstar :barf ). I know this is likely for a limited time only. But what a wonderful gift it is showing viewers that any programming ...

Re: Past WJBK network slogans
WJBK supposedly stood for "Jesus Be Kind" long before teleministries were even an idea. But look at TV2's past and one wonders if anyone took that seriously or even knew, especially during the Bill Flynn era.

Re: If Nextar were to buy a station in Detroit....
Speaking as someone who worked for "Deathstar", such a purchase would be a death worse than fate. Sook and company would do NOTHING for any station that they would purchase. There is NO WAY Graham Media could be any worse than "Deathstar". God forbid they should expand their reach in Michigan or any...

Re: Past WJBK network slogans
Some guy from Toledo wrote: In around 1977 it was "TV-2 is Yours". Yeah, that's when TV2 originally dropped the Eyewitness News brand in favor of "Your TV2 News" and introduced the ugliest looking logo that looked like it had been pirated from WDRQ (Top 40 at the time) and sliced up. That, fortunate...

New ownership would be an excellent start! It's a damn shame what Cumeless has done to the one Great Voice of the Great Lakes.

Re: Longtime Detroit Radio, TV Host Bob Allison Dies At 87
I remember watching "Milky's Party Time" on WWJ-TV Channel 4 in the 1960s and knew Bob Allison as the Twin Pines milkman (that what they were called then before gender-neutral phrases like "milk vendor") who would do the commercials live. Fast forward years later when I was working toward a degree i...

Re: Beautiful Music Stations in Detroit
89.7 FM in Windsor in 1976 when it was CJOM. It switched from AOR to easy-listening. It all happened when Geoff Stirling, the station's owner, I believe, informed station management to gather together the entire air-staff in one room. An audiotape recorded by Stirling informed them that they were te...

I had one passing experience with Hal, I mean literally! I was visiting the WJIM-TV, where a former classmate worked, in the spring of 1979 for a writing project. I found everyone there most helpful and courteous. But as I was walking in the hallway leading toward the reception area and the dining h...

Re: Fred Heumann out
The last sentence in that article "WLNS-TV is owned by Nexstar Media Group" says all that needs to be said about why Fred Heumann is out. MESSTAR has a track record of crapping on good people in the stations they buy and exalting crappy people. "To hell with a good product, save a buck at all costs ...

Re: Worst TV Clowns in The 60s and 70’s
"Mr. Patches" who aired briefly (Thank God for small favors) on Sunday Mornings on WXYZ-TV. I believe he was replaced by the "Hot Fudge" show, which had more success. And then there was the mid-day fiasco that aired on WKBD under the name "Cousin' Cyrus", a stereotypical farmer/hick with coveralls, ...
