I've voiced complaints about 'J's audio in past months.
The console mike usually (to me) sounds very fringe-y and quantized, like it's been through too many sample rate conversions; often sounds like early ISDN. The non-live spots and feeds often sound a lot better and cleaner than the live host.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through May 12 at 7:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: 1440 WMKM Inkster off the air
Bell Broadcasting's WCHB, which occupied 1440 for many years, originated from there as well. It vied for the R&B audience with WJLB, which then was on 1400.Colonel Flagg wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 6:42 pmStudios are where WJZZ used to be, on the boulevard. Haven't been by there in awhile.
WJZZ had formerly been WCHD.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Ok, we get it. Please, Lord, make them pull the "Winner Winner Breakup Dinner" spot and its variations out of the rotation of repetitive casino and gambling site ads. That, along with Kevin Hart and the grating-voiced "King of Live Dealers" girl. Makes me long for a return of Draft Kings' Jessie "Ma...

Re: Night time FM E-Skip
Right now at 11:15 EDT I have it on 88.7 and KUHF from Houston is coming in over top of Pure Country 89. Is it common for this to happen at this hour? It's not "common" but not uhheard of. The amateur 6 meter band (50MHz) was also open to the west and south last night around that same time of night...

Re: Kudos to channel 7; thumbs down to everyone else
Hey WDIV, it's annoying AF that the storm warning ticker is accompanied by a trio of loud warning "bongs" that mute the on-camera talent's program audio, which seems might just be relevant to the immediate conditions.
[EDIT] Well, I thought they may have figured this out. But, no.

Re: SiriusXM
So that's just the post above that says there's a free offer.
Doesn't address the question about traffic reports for Mid-Michigan, which still are not a thing on SXM.

The main services of WXYZ, WMYD, WJBK, WDIV, WWJ are carried as ATSC 3.0 OFDM on Scripps' RF 31 transmitter/antenna in Oak Park. If you look at what actual transmitters and location...
