Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene tells us to repent

MTG is either mentally ill or mentally retarded. I've not yet determined which.

Re: WLAJ Playing Atlanta News?

That's really bizarre. WSB-TV isn't even owned by Mission or Nexstar, it's owned by Cox Media Group.

This reminds me of the Nexstar fiasco that occurred during the NFC title game on some of its stations, including WOOD-TV in GR.

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive

Marquette's likely next. ABC 10's newscasts are the weakest of the four TV news operations there. Some of the on-air talent is indescribably bad. The fact Marquette now has 4 separately run TV newsrooms is crazy to begin with. For years, TV 6 was the only choice (channel 3 would simulcast WFRV's new...

Re: WADL to be sold to Nexstar (through Mission Broadcasting)

So, essentially, the FCC's ruling means Nexstar and Mission's stations are now viewed on a combined basis in terms of ownership cap compliance, and on that basis, they are currently in breach. If WPIX does indeed get divested (to someone other than Nexstar), I wonder how much wiggle room that create...

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive

That's true. Of course, the Sinclair-owned dumpster fire in Clio barely has a news department of its own at this juncture, so an arrangement with WEYI would not have been feasible for WBKB.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024

Another close one - and Tigers emerge victorious. :) Interesting use of pitching by Hinch, necessitated, of course, by yesterday's double header. Lange was brought in to get the very final out in the 9th. Go ahead run was scored in the bottom of the 8th. Shitty outing for Baez, who was 0-4. He flew ...

Ron once said that "every drunk in Detroit" was in the centerfield bleachers at Tiger Stadium.

After watching some of Fox 2's pre-game Opening Day coverage, I'd say that "every drunk in Detroit" is being interviewed today outside of Comerica Park.

Re: A Letter to Dan Miller

When has he worked as a sports anchor / journalist at WWJ? He's solely been a play-by-play man in the 25 years I've lived on this side of the state. So, no conflict exists. Larry Henry 25+ years ago did sports reports at WWJ + some Pistons radio play by play. One could certainly argue Doug "Marlbor...

Re: New February Ratings

Variety Hits would be an interesting idea for 94.5, but I think returning Country there may be a better idea.

B93's playlist is garbage, in my opinion. It has devolved into a pop music station pretending to be a country station. Cumulus needs to make it easier for B93 P1s to find Thunder.

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive

Rogers City is already in the Traverse City DMA and within signal range of WTOM and WGTQ. Alpena is a short drive away. So, technically, UpNorthLive is already (supposed to be) serving nearby locales. We all know WPBN/WGTU is shorthanded when it comes to reporters / MMJs, too. I agree the mileage se...

Re: Ann Arbor Knife Attacks

After doing more research, $1.5 million is relatively reasonable when compared against other examples I found.

There are first degree murder suspects in some southern states who were only required to post $250,000 or even only a $100,000 bond.
