920 CKNX from Ontario is another limitation to the Northeast. It's still on the air, so there is no getting around it.
There is an example where the overlap over Lake Huron is exempted. The 910 array design is a little hard to figure out how to change, and the Engineer who designed it, Glen Clark, and the one who also participated at some point, Ron Rackley, passed away a few years ago. First, they should run radials in the null and other directions to see if any can be let out. I doubt if they ran radials more than 20 miles, and there's some poor conductivity in Macomb and Lapeer County. The WUFL/WKEG 1030 site is nowhere near M-3, from their 1988 Proofs. There's only one stretch near M-3 across Sterling Heights. They could also see if they could move the vacant Lindsay allotment to a different frequency, like WYLL did, moving Thunder Bay from 1160 to 1170. I don't know what happened to Glen Clark's supercomputer. Cynthia Jacobson should have it if she doesn't already. Her father rescued a lot of records that the FCC was going to discard. Those might be useful.

I just heard ABC News. Now, I'm hearing a very brief local news update with Heather Pascal.

Edit: Glenn Beck is now running as scheduled. Already doing a lengthy product plug - good grief. After he got the plug out of the way, his show started well. Good topics. I've long respected his abilities as a talk radio host.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Lots of PSA’s

I wonder who owns the PSA timeslots. Adell or the syndicator?

We will see how Travis and bucks ad slots fill out.

Did someone advise him to do this or was it something he thought he saw a need for and went “yeah let’s go”

How long has tv38 been on the air? I don’t think I’ve watched more than maybe 20 min in the time it’s been on air.

38 has been on the air since the late 80s. For years it was mostly infomercials and home shopping. They had a very low budget movie at (I think) 4pm with a host from the Star John R, later Southfield when they opened. Also aired reruns of channel 2's news for years.

They had the Fox Kids affiliation in the late 90s along with small conference college football.

Yes, because I asked how long TV 38 had been on the air.

I remember some of that HSN and Fox Kids stuff — years ago.

Still nothing I cared to watch tho.

Will see how this pans out with CW being connected to it.

Kevin hired some Southfield Police to hang out in the parking lot as the recently fired employees gathered their belongings and vacated the office today.

I didn't know that unpaid volunteers could be fired, but okay...

Even at my place of residence, squarely in the major lobe, WFDF is unable to overcome the noise floor.

I think Sebastian Gorka has been in that late night time slot for a while. Maybe a month, or a little longer.

Hannity also aired in PM drive on 101.5, did he not? I was hearing Gorka in the 3PM hour today.

Hannity was on tape delay from 11P-2A. Gorka airs from 4-6P.

WDTK’s website still lists Hannity at 11.

Could 910's imaging voice be any pukier sounding? Good grief.
