Re: WHNE adds Rewind TV, returns to UHF thru channel sharing
I am using a 6m Moxon rectangle for low VHF. Works as well as anything you can buy.

Re: GRACENOTE ATSC 3.0
If you are using a HDHomerun device, I believe it provides an XMLTV feed.
No one seems to be providing reliable data for these stations yet. My AndroidTV boxes sometimes have data, but usually not. SchedulesDirect hasn't even given notice of their plans.

Re: Interviews With People on the Street About Gas Prices
Do White people not drive, and they have something to say. What possible brilliant insight and context could being white bring into that interview? Are they back to selling "white gas"? Maybe it is just luck of the draw, maybe black people buy more gasoline. Maybe white people have been told for th...

Re: Reporter's Teeth
No one has natural teeth that white. When I worked in the business, it was surprising to learn how much clothing and other "work related" expenses were write downs for tax purposes. So it wouldn't surprise me that while the stations have long ago done away with clothing allowances (and cosmetic repa...

Re: 950 WWJ is broadcasting in HD again
910 and 1200 both have their HD exciters turned on, and both stations' analog signals & audio levels sound perfectly fine to my ears. The people at Audacy Detroit evidently have no idea how to implement the technology properly. It isn't going to get any better. Radio and TV used to pull from decent...

Re: NBC Olympics Show Nothing
Yikes. Average of 11.4M viewers per night. That's... not good. Very telling that they only managed to record an Olympic rating of 21M directly after THE SUPER BOWL. That's a drop of... almost 100M from the lead-in? The s**t stains at Rock Center are going to be cutting refund checks. And this pains...

Re: Bernie’s Bloopers
When they devoted more than 4 minutes to sports, the internet didn't exist, and mullets were socially acceptable, they were a cute way to end the segment. Now, it *is* the segment and has become a caricature of itself. I'd say get rid of sports, but WDIV would gleefully fill the open air time with m...

Re: Detroit iHeartMedia stations moving to Eastern Market
Unfortunately for employees, they now get to pay city of Detroit income tax of 1.2% for non-residents.
Good luck to them should they ever try to claim work outside the city, because they'll never see that money returned.

Re: Ambassador Bridge backup
Funny how quickly the blockade dissipated after Canadian officials decided to actually do their jobs and threaten the blockaders with arrest, fines and license revocation. Gee, those actions sound awfully similar to what I had proposed several days ago. If Canadian officials weren't so flat footed,...

If we've learned one thing the last few weeks: The ruling class REALLY hates a dose (jab?) of their own medicine. :lol Honk Honk When it fits their agenda (rioting, looting, and burning of our cities) the answer is "De-fund the police!" But when it doesn't fit... "HELP! Police!" :lol The hypocrisy ...

Yep, I was flapping on whether to go at 60, 62 or keep going until 65. This makes it easy, 59 and 1/2 with some part time wo...

Still waiting to die on that hill of his choosing?
I don't think he carries the same taint as Lauren Podell, but he made a serious tactical error if he hopes to have upward market mobility. Maybe he was just looking to get out, local broadcast TV doesn't have a lot of promise.

Re: This TV 4.2 OTA
The programming changes are due to Byron Allen's "Entertainment Studios" acquiring the network from its prior owner, who I believe is MGM. He is dumping a bunch of his third rate garbage programming onto the network, sadly. So, yes, the changes are permanent. Nearly everything coming out of those s...
