Re: Airplane crash

I was driving with my kids up and then down Michigan Ave in the Canton Twp - Ypsi area near the airport, but we didn't realize anything had happened. A lot of people still assembled trying to watch likely didn't either. That was a surprise to hear. But apparently if you were close to Willow Run airp...

Re: Demond Fernandez joins WDIV-Local 4 News team as anchor, reporter

Don't really watch much local news coverage anymore, but when I watched the fireworks on WDIV they had him on set to do their big welcome thing and honestly, I was impressed. He seemed like he knew what he was doing, and wren I heard WFAA I thought, "oh, he'll be good." Then again, it's possible he ...

Re: 910 am super station breaking news

I think it's safe to say that reporter Steve Neavling is not a big fan of Kevin Adell. He wrote this for the Metro Times about the format flip at 910: https://www.metrotimes.com/news/white-millionaire-abruptly-pulls-plug-on-predominantly-black-talk-radio-station-910am-33875753 But much more damning ...

Re: Jason Carr

I would love to know exactly what he said on the air too. I feel like the chances of ever seeing a clip are low, though, since it wasn't on their main broadcast, it was on Local 4+. I mean, was anyone watching? :rollin WWJ has clarified: he yelled at co-workers (off-air) and got briefly taken off th...

Re: NBC Discusses Ending Prime-Time Lineup at 10pm,

It was back in 1998 that CBS channel 62 showed "Late Show With David Letterman" at 11:00 instead of 11:35!! I remember this very well. As a teen Letterman fan in the 90s (I was literally the only one), it was great to get the jump start at 11. 62 must have actually gotten the tape of Letterman's sh...

Re: WXYZ Woodward dream cruise

It’s a public street. Couldn’t any channel simply show the darn thing, make a TV special out of it? That's a good point. It's interesting to think about which events get coverage and on which channels. It at least used to be true that the NAIAS charity preview was covered live by both 4 and 7 at th...

Listened again today and noticed a theme; all female artists for half an hour and then two songs geared towards females, Bruno Mars and Jason Miraz.
Ah, interesting, like the original branding of 93.1 DRQ! "93-1 The New DRQ: Detroit's Station For Women"

Re: CBS62 re-brands as CBS Detroit

They can go back to the CBS Detroit branding, that's fine. As long as they avoid the worst one ever, which was "WWJ TV Detroit." https://imgur.com/a/Fyko20H

Re: WOMC playing 2000s songs

The logistics of how Billboard categorized double singles back in the day, or a "double-A side" in 1997, are always fascinating to me. That's just it, though... the charts have always been decided by whatever rules Billboard decides to put in place at the time. In 1998 they changed the longstanding ...

Re: WOMC playing 2000s songs

Remember also that MTV played very few videos by the likes of Celine or Richard Marx – that’s what VH-1 was for. The artists the kids really clamored for were on MTV, and (except when “My Heart Will Go On” was popular) that wasn’t Celine Dion for the most part. That's an interesting point that I ha...

Re: No more 4-Zone Weather on WDIV!

I figured they did a weather rebrand specifically to coincide with Kim Adams taking on the lead duties. Kind of makes sense to do it all at once. 4Warn is definitely the name of the overall weather brand. I have the WDIV weather app on my phone, and the app icon changed about a week ago to be "4Warn...

Re: People in Washtenaw County love WUOM

Just wanted to pitch in and say that 107one is definitely my favorite station. I live in Canton and can get it with no issues at all. It's a rare station nowadays, left alone so it can appeal to the area, and they do a great job of it. When I hear 107one, I feel like it's a last-remaining vestige of...
