Re: Cumulus is whoring its FM signals
.....then I assume that the sponsors of GVSU football and basketball broadcasts, and their corresponding coach's shows during the week, are secured and billed by the university and not Cumulus? Or is there some revenue sharing arrangement there?

Re: George Lessens retiring

Re: Where’s Michelle DeSelms?
Also have noticed that the weather folks on the WOOD-TV late afternoon/early evening newscasts have been doubling up by also doing traffic! Meghan Bunchman, for whom traffic reports were never a goal or perhaps even an interest, also does in-studio news reports; and recently has been seen anchoring ...

Re: New meteorologist at WOOD-TV
I kinda think Ellen B. wouldn't have been named chief without a commitment to stay there for a while,. especially given WOOD-TV's more recent tradition of long-term chief meteorologists... (Steffen, James, etc.)

Re: New meteorologist at WOOD-TV
Mr. Larson was in the same college class with Ellen Bacca at Valparaiso U. in Indiana.
Scott came here from a TV station in northwest Iowa, which certainly experiences the full four seasons as we do in Michigan. Memo to Scott: two words: "Lake Effect."

Re: TV meteorologists
Harms' school closing predictor service is not an open or shut case: It's on a 1-5 scale of probability, so it's hard to say he's "wrong" if a district makes a particular decision on a delay or closing. So it's subjective depending on the district - it's not totally a weather thing. A school distric...

Re: CW7 changing on 1-1-24?

I've notice the DABL transition, for example, but channel 286 (formerly a succession of NCIS reruns) is now blank and not on the channel roster....
