Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Enough with the damn 'whole body deodorant' ads. Any of 'em. “Wanna know a secret? More than just my armpits stink...” Yeah. You stink "EVVVerywhere..." Be certain that these companies are making a mint on tools with low self-esteem who are convinced that using more of what was already an over-price...

Re: RIP David Sanborn
I saw most of the show (almost twice), but must have missed Sanborn. All of the sax I saw was being handled by Joel's regular sax player, Mark Rivera.Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 10:41 pmIf you happened to tune into CBS's broadcast of Billy Joel's concert in New York a few weeks ago, that was Sanborn on Sax.

Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now
That’s a shame.Katelyn Davis is gone as well.
I hope it’s because she found something better out there…. She gave the impression she was a hard worker with a sense of humor and pride in her work.

Re: Richard Tandy (ELO) dies
Tandy's intro keyboard riffs were signature to ELO's breakout hit "Evil Woman" in the mid-70's.

Re: Saying "Illegal Alien" in the classroom may get you suspended
What's next? A 5-day suspension because someone sitting next to the kid who farted in class took offense to it?

Re: Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence
Or… hire more journalists and pay them a living wage. AI rewrites don’t solve the problem of not having real coverage of local issues. Sure sounds like a solution. Let's all know which stations(s) you buy and/or manage and apply it to. Meanwhile, suggested rewrites to keep a story fresh could be do...

Re: Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence
Instead of running the same story, using the exact same verbiage, 17 times in 4 newscasts per day, perhaps they can do with AI what they refuse or are too lazy to do manually - refresh rewrites.
If so: AI - bring it!

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive
Same room as has always been used for in-station reporting when not in studio - just a new name as described by the banner and reporter.

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive
...and Abitibi (& its successor(s) including DPI), used to provide a fair number of jobs for the Alpena area. No more. So maybe the new owners have buyer's regret, and combined with a local economy down on its luck, have to make cuts - not just because they want to eliminate local news. Sheesh. BTW ...
