Trajan Langdon to be hired as Pistons new POBO

Langdon comes from the Pelicans. His hire reportedly will become official next week. I hope he throws Weaver out on his ass. By the way, it's nice to see Rod Beard writing about the Pistons for The Detroit News again. I don't know if this is a one-off article or if he's returning to the Pistons beat...

Re: The Nine

The Nine is crafted for women who watch TV at home in the middle of the morning. Men of any age is not who they are targeting.

In other words, they are going for the same demographic as Kathie Lee and Hoda.

Men complaining about The Nine is analagous to women complaining about UFC telecasts.

Re: WADL Deal Pulled

The technology exists to allow surround sound audio on multiple subchannels using the same RF channel. ABC and CBS in Lansing share an RF channel.

Re: WADL Deal Pulled

I agree that 4.2 is a decent possibility. WDIV would need to upgrade its gear to allow it to transmit on 4.2 in HD, but that wouldn't be too difficult to do. WWMT has aired CBS in 1080i and CW in either 720p or 1080i plus has hosted multiple 480i feeds for years. WTVS is running dual 1080i feeds plu...

Re: CBS News Detroit

I actually saw - wait for it - a complete sportscast on tonight's 6PM newscast! 🙂 Long overdue. Not sure when they started doing a sports report; it's been at least a month since I last watched their 6PM newscast after 6:20 PM. I have no idea who the sports anchor was as I missed the first half of h...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024

Maybe it's time for the media to start questioning A.J. Hinch and Scott Harris. Hinch is in his fourth year, and there has been no real progress since his first year. The Tigers are on pace to match Hinch's first year, when they were 77-85. Harris was brought here to build on Avila's work, which wa...

Re: Poll for Republican Party U.S. Senator Nominee

No secret - I'm voting for Amash.

If Amash were to exit the race, I'd vote for Rogers.

Pensler is running a dirty campaign. Very disappointed in him.

Re: April Ratings

Sean and Shep had Gregg Henson on and I agree with him and a couple commenters on here a second sports station definitely could work here IF done right which obviously 105.1 wasn’t. Wasn’t there a report by Tony Paul in 2019-2020ish that WJR was planning to transition to more sports talk and flip 9...

B93 will not be airing Bobby Bones YET.
Wouldn't surprise me if the evening version of his show appears there in the not too distant future. If that were to occur, he'd simply be replacing an out of market voice tracker.

Re: Michigan Jobs are Boring

The "valley" areas of California get brutally hot in the summer. Sacramento, Fresno and Bakersfield all qualify. The latter two are particularly bad if you don't like heat.

Re: April Ratings

WBBM has a full powered FM. 780 isn’t even promoted during reports. WABC has an FM repeater on Long Island- not sure how much that factors into ratings. WBBM AM and FM are rated separately by Nielsen, with FM way down the list. In any case, are you trying to argue that WJR's 1.7 share is inevitable...
