Frank Turner

Frank Turner is out at Channel 5. On Facebook he posted "I was unceremoniously let go afterwards because I don't want to share the studio unmasked with other colleagues. I guess they'd rather not have me at all than accommodate me on the mask in a pandemic."

What were WHNN's ratings like before firing Johnny, Blondie, and Bob Hughes?

Re: Poor Audio

First thought... is 5.1 turned on, with only 2 speakers? And are those 2 speakers hooked up properly, as main L & R? Is your TV's compressor/leveler on? That may bring out abnormalities, normally not heard. We are also talking about a TV, right? Some PC do have 8VSB tuner cards. I also have noticed...

Poor Audio

Maybe sinklair can answer this. Why is the audio for "Inside Edition" so bad? It's very poor when compared to "Entertainment Tonight" which is on just before it. It's almost like it's muted.

Re: Format adjustment at 97.3 Joe FM?

I heard hip-hop music on Joe FM today for the first time. Don't we already have enough stations playing that already? I really miss the format the WHNN had when the called themselves Classic 96 and played mostly 60's, 70,s, and 80's music. What was the song? I don't know. I'm not a fan of hip hop s...

Lack of Local Reporters

Is it my imagination or have local TV stations cut back on the number of local reporters they have now? It seems like there's limited local news, especially with a reporter in the field, and more national news which will just be repeated after the 6:00 news. TV5 has two sports reporters they don't e...

Re: The New K107.3 Flint's Classic Hits

FMFool at 30 feet. I wish I could copy and paste, The units are dBm, not dBu, but the dB difference is what is relevant. Neither WIOG nor WHNN is LOS, even at 30 feet AGL. WIOG is 1 Edge, WHNN is 2 Edge. WFBE Minus 12.9 dBm WWCK-FM Minus 16.7 dBm WCRZ Minus 24.1 dBm WDZZ-FM Minus 25.2 W293CA WSNL 1...
