I don’t think that’s an option for Gray and Nexstar — they are pretty much at the 39% FCC cap for station ownership. Tegna has been on the rumor block for a possible sale, so I’m not sure how motivated they are to purchase more stations right now. But I think you’re right that we will continue to see ownship consolidation in the near future.

I wonder how much that building they rent off US-131 is? Do they need such a big property?
Woe to you, oh earth and sea

Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

It is an eye catcher, at least for those who are coming north on the freeway. I have no idea how long it sat idle and in a meager search see that Kysor, who built that edifice was bought up by Borg Warner in '99.

9&10 invited me for a free round of golf at Treetops along with regional EMTs, Sheriff's Dept. officials and the like several years ago, clearly the well is dry when it comes to "Thank You gifts" like that. Got a nice six-pack cooler as part of the event, will have to put on a search for that now.

I'm not really sure. I figured a lot of places rented their facilities. I've only seen the building driving on US-131. I mean it does look pretty big but I haven't been super close to it either.

I thought they bought that building outright, but I may be mistaken.

The building is not that big. It looks big because it is super wide. It is not deep at all, though.

I was gone for a couple of days and unplugged from the drama at work. I looked at our website and was completely embarrassed by a story we did yesterday. We had only one reporter for the entire day, and we used her to do a story about a restaurant closing in Cadillac. Come on...really? Trying to understand the decisions our newsroom makes.

They (or the owners) bought the building when the engineering firm closed. They also have tenants.
For Kristian Trumpers are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

How does management put themselves in a position where they only have 1 reporter to cover all shows — and then does a story on a business closing?

Slow news day. No major meth busts in Caddy to report.

If it prevents ANY report by that CNN puker Jenn Sullivan, the (in)action gets my vote.

The Comma has more chemistry and talent with their weekend crew than the morning show....

Some weekends when the news on the Comma or Amphitheater are delayed, I ll notice that they run the exact same national stories.... how does that happen??? If the Comma is independent and the Amphersand is Sinklair..... makes no sense..

Look a comment not bashing the curse of Bill Froelich.... maybe I'm not an a...hole all the time.

Why so much complaining and negativity?
Christina, Adam, Katy, and Tom do a phenomenal job in the evenings. I love the professionalism they bring.
Ruby, Bill, and Haley are great in the mornings! Great energy to start the day.
David brings a perfect blend to the noon.
Bill, Eric, Michael & Rachel are highlighting many great things about Northern Michigan communities.
Kaitlyn & Teagan are great on the weekends!
Kennedy and Jayden are always highlighting great athletic accomplishments from our local communities.
The off-air talent dig in to all the details to ensure every show is top-notch.
Love the newsletter! Everything isn't perfect, but it is real. Various levels of experience and it is great to watch it all come together and stay up to date on the happenings in Northern Michigan.

Honestly, the only things I don't like are the negative attitudes. If you don't like it somewhere you are free to leave at any point or change the channel.

I think what northern michigan needs, is another religious broadcaster. All Jesus, all day - only on 9&10.

Hell when I was a kid and we went north, anytime the TV turned on and received one channel, it was the 700 club - all day every day.
