Re: WSMH Illegle ID

I agree with HD.This has long been an ongoing challenge in this TV market. I would first argue that the question about WSMH's station ID comes down to what is the actual FCC legal definition of "city of license" versus a station's' claim of the area it serves and/or is viewed ? Does the ID only ment...

Most of the channels that are airing these games are subchannels. Other than cheap boomers, most fans aren't going to like watching games in 480i, 4:3 ratio.
Where does NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) fit into this puzzle.....IF it ever were to become the broadcast and tv manufacture standard. :shock:

Re: Flint TV Stations and their horrible signals.

With the possible exception of WEYI, OTA reception in Lapeer County is going to be difficult unless you have an outdoor mounted antenna in proper working order. Except for WEYI, all the transmitting towers are about 35 to 40 miles away from the center of the county. That used to be doable in the an...

Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk

The only thing that really confuses me is that the Jazz is going to broadcast its games mainly on KJZZ, an independent Salt Lake City station run by… Sinclair. A close friend of mine was responsible for signing on what I believe was Salt Lake's first "independent" UHF station in the late 70s. Sink'...

Re: Gone after 24 years

He was one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Sink’s correct in saying he is a “great director and even better man.” To this very day, he saved countless newscasts on Willard and Pierson Roads, without drama or need for self-praise or recognition, from sure disaster. He will be ...

Re: Comic Mogul Billionaire Byron Allen Buys Malibu Mansion for $100 Million

That’s right, Noozd. Knight Ridder was a little before my time. I heard ok things about them. So they might place somewhere in the middle? How would you rank ‘em? Keeping in mind I never had first hand experience working in any of Gray nor Byron Allen holdings, I would be inclined to place Knight-R...

Allen Media = one of WJRT’s worst owners…

WJRT Owners — best to worst:
1. ABC/Disney
2, Gray Televison
3. Capital Cities
4. Byron Allen
5. SJL/Lilly
Don’t forget the era of Knight-Ridder (newspaper) WJRT ownership from 1978-1989 after acquiring from Poole Broadcasting.

Re: Poor presentation on NBC25

Ron was trained by Ahmad directly. He has come far since he started. I wonder if he will get a full meteorologist title soon instead of forecaster. Erik did well last week but the longer coverage seemed to wear on him today. With more time and practice he may improve. I'll give him one more chance ...

Re: ATSC 3.0

Yes. The word on the street is tech gurus from WJRT and WNEM have been in talks for several weeks with the Pierson Road/Sinclair engineering team (WBSF is the designated local ATSC 3.0 transmitting site) about a unified 3.0 launch on March 15th.

However this week my TV is airing programming from the Charge Network and something called the TBD network on 66.1.
