Re: Ethnicity about to become clearer

I didn’t see middle eastern people listed under “white” in that chart. Maybe I missed something. I do recall George Zimmerman being labeled a “white hispanic” back during 2012 and the trial where he was charged with murder of Trayvon martin. And here from NPR a term “multi-racial whiteness” came ab...

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers

Maybe make sure there are multiple people that check all graphics prior to broadcast — like the producer, executive producer, and director. Maybe that's already occurring, yet the sloppy errors are still making it to air? That's my thought. With technology and things like spell check, it should hap...

If it does, you can bet the email will again leak. You know there’s something reall...

Re: EMF acquires WTSS Buffalo and WLFP Memphis from Audacy

The other thing that crossed my mind was how a sale like this could be good for the community? Only mention because it is hard for me to believe that a niche format with few listeners being placed on a high powered FM station can really be for the good of the community. Maybe the FCC doesn’t care? ...

Re: Demotions at Fox47

Gary is liked because he never says no to corporate. They want to lose anchors, Gary’s the first one to offer to slash positions. He has no new ideas, just excuses why his decisions are right and when it doesn’t result in bigger ratings or more ad dollars, then he blames others. It’s a old routine ...

Re: James McNutt has died

I believe I saw of movie of his back in the early 70s. He played a doctor who had a very unconventional, yet successful, way of treating a young coed who suffered some sort of downstairs ailment.

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers

Real leaders inspire… not shame their staff. I’m sure there are people who would love to suck up to their boss. I’m offended by his enail’s tone and would rather him donate the money. That way I wouldn’t be stuck in the same bar making idle chit chat with Brad. I suspect you and the "A day in the l...

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers

Well that’s embarrassing when your boss calls you out for not knowing how to spell. It’s even more embarrassing when the email is passed along to FTV Live to put the entire station and its management team on blast. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/3/19/what-happened-at-wood You’d think that a...

Re: FOX 47 revolving door

I have no issues with you, TheWayItIs. So I guess that blows your thesis out of the water. The fact is I don’t like whining baby men or incompetent managers. It’s a pretty simple formula for success. Looks to me like Sugden is making a splash in the market with all these posts about him. Again, no ...

That firefighter who was getting BJs from her in the Auburn Hills Costco parking lot has...ummm... interesting tastes in women to say the least.
To that point, that is about the quality you can expect if you are getting your BJs in a Costco parking lot.

I suspect at best she cleans up to a 5.

Re: WOMC just went off the air for 10 minutes

10 minutes of nothing but silence. They just keep getting worse over at Audacy I have filed a complaint with the FCC. I've also alerted local media so they can do investigation and reports on this. I did reach out to law enforcement - I think I got the wrong number but at least Border Control is aw...
