Back in that era there was a subscription music service called Muzak that offices and other businesses would have piped into their establishments. In Detroit WMZK 97.9 was the Muzak station via a sideband from the station also known as SCA radio at 67 or 92 kHz. These may still exist today but the ...

Unlike the multiple fiascos a couple of months ago, MeTV (via WDIV 4.3) seems to so far be mostly successful at carrying the Local4 non-football early evening program block(NBC Nightly, Wheel, Jeopardy), a true service for those wanting no part of MSU Football on NBC. There was one ominous cutaway f...

$14 new-old-stock Vintage pair of 39-inch rabbit ears: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126163551108 thanks BMW - I might just go this route! Geez I've thrown out a few of those. Never thought to eBay them. I probably still have a couple in a box I could make a few bucks off of! A couple of chunks of good ...

How much space does 56 really need? This sale has been planned for two years, is it to downsize or actually increase studio space? My guess is they will move back Downtown, assuming tax incentives are adequate. The Foundation is a non-profit, so that's not a factor. There are sites in the city unde...

IIRC, their building is actually two completely separate buildings, with an 'air gap' of less than 6" in between them. Don't remember the logic of why it was done that way. The building was/is not separate buildings, but the architectural modifications to make the studio spaces do make it effective...

Tropo propagation is usually made possible by temperature inversions. Given the usual summertime weather and climate over the Gulf of Mexico and along the U.S. gulf coast, it's not surprising that there will frequently be favorable conditions along the fronts in that area. Similar conditions can be ...

Until recently, Xfinity subscribers had Peacock Premium (which Comcast owns) available at no extra charge. I didn't then (or now) find any of its content compelling enough to view when it was free, and then zero desire to pay for it. Also, the Peacock app on the Xfinity X1 box was (might still be) a...

There's also ESPN 850 Cleveland (I can't bring myself to call it WKNR ).
Signal across the lake is sketchy though, sometimes good often not.

I looked at the NBC News Now app and other streaming sites. They were not live streaming the 6:30pm NBC Nightly news program. CBET/CBC at that time was not running news of any kind. My "on demand" demand was to be able to watch the newscast as it was being originated. NBC affiliate Local4 chose not ...

Is there a single best location to find the list of digital TV signals, sub-channels of the main over-the-air TV signals in West Michigan? (Such as 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, etc.), I believe almost all the major over-the-air TV channels have these sub-channels, many of which are not picked up by area cable...

I bet it's available online in perpetuity.... Still though... thats a hell of a screw up.....

Yeah, but I wanted to watch the 6:30 network newscast at, well, 6;30.
Ended up watching BBC News which was starting at 7:00p.

WDIV, despite onset of a new middle east war, decides to not air the 6:30p NBC Nightly on 4.1, putting it up, as last weekend, on MeTV 4.3, and airs Local4's local sports show on the "main" channel. At 6:30 on MeTV, an NBC countdown pops in, with the program guide indicating NBC Nightly, and the new...

I think we're still several years away from over the air satellite service from being discontinued. I cannot picture them leaving in-dash listeners at the side of the road. Some sort of USB dongle will probably be developed to permit continued use of in-dash tuners. I could see them continuing dire...

Bits and pieces I heard on the police scanner… your trusted source for information in your neighborhood… on your block around the clock. Haven't most cities gone encrypted digital and you can't listen to them anymore? I also assumed that this is why scanner radio sales fell drastically. Sales fell ...
