Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week
When Diamond Sports reached a financing agreement with their creditors, it stopped the early termination with the NHL and NBA, so it appears that Diamond was hoping to just return to business as usual and force basic cable customers to carry the load with price increases. Comcast wanted to put them ...

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week
I am not familiar enough with streaming technology to understand what the scalability economics look like, though. Scales nicely when you use a decent content delivery network. Scales horribly when you try to roll your own as no one is going to be able to replicate what Netflix did a decade ago. Fa...

In my opinion, he's a first rate guy. He takes his assignments seriously to the point of getting arrested.

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
I am all for local sports rights on channel 20. I’m assuming it’s not going to a subchannel of 7 or 20. If they don’t come crawling back to 38 or 50, there isn’t much left. A subchannel of 4 would be most likely. I don’t see 31 or a subchannel of 2. Longshot is low power WHNE or not being in the ma...

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week
Bally Sports has become unwatchable for both the Tigers and Red Wings. With their stupid "Pick The Stick" with the Tigers, and "Light The Lamp" with the Red Wings. Add John Keating to that list. The only ones on Bally that are watchable are Chris Osgood and Mickey Redmond. Mickey's a hoot. It reall...

Re: Detroit Stations Launch Start Over, Datacasting To Boost NextGen TV
What a sad tale ATSC 3 has spun. All they needed to do was provide something resembling 4k content, and instead they're off on the same tangents that brought them misery and disappointment with mobile ATSC. “There’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg phenomenon going on,” Michael Newman, director of transfo...

Re: Weather reporting
I had a flight out of DTW that day at 1300 local, and the snow line was about a half mile north of the airport. It was a sharp line of snow to the north, nothing to the south that went northeast and very noticable as we took off.

Re: Nielsen Detroit radio ratings
Have not paid attention to radio ratings in a long time and all I can say is...well.
WJR at the bottom of the heap, sports-talk being a 9 share.

Re: Weather reporting
A large portion of the U.P. and even some areas near Thunder Bay, ON have zero snow on the ground right now. Warmest official temp in Michigan right now is at Houghton of all places, where it is sunny and 51 degrees. I am worried that the forest fire season this year is going to be every bit as bad...

Re: ATSC 3.0
I'm not seeing it. The bandwidth they're giving everyone on the Lighthouse transmitter is what, 2.5-3 megabits? It looks almost as bad as the old ATSC signal, which looks pretty bad considering all the sub-channels and the channel 20 stations they all must carry. One thing I will tell you that you s...
