Re: NBC Discusses Ending Prime-Time Lineup at 10pm

The main reason major broadcast network affiliates financially survive and can fund large news operations is because they gouge cable, satellite and streaming companies with retrans fees.

Today's telecast from Ann Arbor

Could ABC play by play man, Mark Jones, possibly kiss Robert Griffin III's ass any more between plays?

RG III is doing a good job on color commentary, but Jones' worshipping of his broadcast partner is almost vomit inducing.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022

I'd honestly like to see the tigers relocate or become a minor league team.
The Tigers already are a minor league team!

They have the talent, sports science capabilities and attendance levels of one.

Re: Biden Speech

The lighting was poor because the venue where the speech was given was not made for TV, and evidently the planning was subpar. The speech itself was akin to kicking a hornet's nest. I'm not sure what the President felt he was accomplishing. I thought the speech was politically unwise. Shenanigans? T...

Re: Don't download Android 13!

The other thing that bugs the shit out of me regarding the 5a 5G Pixel is that it was marketed as unlocked phone that is compatible with all major cellular networks in the United States. Guess what? Can't use it with Verizon or any of Verizon's MVNOs. The IMEI number is not recognized. Supposedly, G...

Re: Don't download Android 13!

I was on 12 until "upgrading" to 13.

I turned off adaptive network connectivity late last night, and battery life seems to be back to normal now.

If your phone is more than a couple years old, it might not receive further updates.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

I like KROQ's A to Z list better. Not a big difference between the two stations, but there are a few harder rocking songs on the KROQ list that WDZH won't play.

Re: Ripping off Tigers fans

They paid waaaaaay too much money for those RSNs. Even if 2020 didn't happen, I'd likely be saying the same thing. Bally Sports West doesn't have the rights to the Lakers or Dodgers, they have no RSN presence in Boston, no presence in Philly, no presence in New York, no presence in Houston, and no p...

Re: Big Ten talk

I think OSU will lose a game or two, U-M will lose a game or two, and both Penn State and MSU will lose two or three games. Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana will lose a lot.

Out in the West division, I'd have to give the nod to Wisconsin.

Re: FBI raiding treasonists home

Bill Barr has sent some poignant criticism Trump's way. I am inclined to agree with Mr. Barr.

Yes, I have a Pixel 5a. Was getting intermittent notifications for close to a week to download the "stable release" of Android 13. Other Android users (Samsung, for example) should start receiving prompts to install soon if using a supported device (i.e. generally phones released within the past few...

They sure did. For a spell in the 00s, as I recall.
