November 9 update: Due to app errors, I have disabled the Tapatalk plug-in. As such, the Buzzboard is currently unavailable in Tapatalk. I am trying to do a clean reinstall, but each reinstall attempt is generating database errors. I am hopeful that the issue will be able to be resolved in the next few days.

Thank you for your patience!

Kudos to Rachelle Graham on 62. She's having to anchor solo and is having to deal with a less than optimal performance from the control room. She's doing a decent job coping with those issues.

Agreed about the control room. Ugh!! The floor producing is way better but control room is having issues this morning.

It is understood details can be sketchy at first, and I applaud local stations efforts to scratch away getting the facts. But, I also think setting up a Live shot and immediately putting a reporter on-air without any prep serves no purpose. I watched Ch 7 get their guys on air before they even got on campus. Why? As the guy fumbled his words, like a toddler trips on shoelaces, it was clearly apparent he was NOT ready to go Live, hadn't time to ask any locals questions or interviewed investigators. Producers need to be sharper than to throw the guy out there without a lifejacket.

How did radio fare last night? I assume WWJ had enough resources to get some live coverage from East Lansing?

I made an attempt to listen to Paul W. Smith on WJR this morning on my drive surrounding the 6:30 AM news break. I couldn't do it. The commercial load surrounding the pukey Fox News Radio update and traffic/weather was unbearable to my attention deficit disorder listening style.

Amusing that the most prominent mic flag at this morning's press conference is from WBBM-TV.

WBBM out of Chicago is also covering the press conference. I think WBBM is partnering up with its O&O bretheren, WWJ, to covering this.

Audio connectivity issues or a marketing stunt in incredibly poor taste?
Probably a CBS thing lol. Both both corrected it rather quickly.

I'm in SW St. Clair County, so I am able to get both the Detroit and Flint/Tri-Cities locals on ATSC 3.0.

I flipped between WDIV, WXYZ, WJBK, WJRT, WNEM, and WSMH/WEYI last night. Not surprisingly, 4 and 7 handled the best for Detroit. 66/25 did a decent job over 12 and 5, although they could have stayed on 66 at eleven instead of moving viewers to 25.

Heard out of the Lansing stations, WLNS did by far, the best job. Locally, still think WDIV, WXYZ, and WWJ did the best job. WWJ had some technical issues but quickly recovered. WJBK was decent overall.

Really? The last line is trying to link him to a white supremacist? You cannot make this garbage up. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a made up story.

That’s not a big deal… it’s common to say “x place… you know the one from x event… well this guys from there too”. The folks who should be upset are the folks from Bear, DE.
