Thanks, WDIV.

Loco4 announced on-air and in the xfinity guide that Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy would be seen on 4.3 MeTV, while 4.1 carries the Auto Show Charity Preview. I and many others could not give a sh*t about the Auto Show silliness. In fact, the usual MASH episode is running on MeTV, and not Wheel, as ...

WLLZ (real) antenna was located on the Cass corridor back in the 80's.
An interesting location to visit at night.

I remember WLLZ being on Lyndon, having taken over the original WBFG transmitter site. Where would it have been in the corridor?

Watching the Lions/Chiefs game (yay Lions!!). Noticed that the game on my kitchen OTA set was way ahead of what I was seeing from WDIV on the Xfinity box in the TV room. Timed the latency between OTA broadcast and cable at 43 seconds! I think in recent past the Comcast delay of WDIV has been just 7-...

Electronic Connection will be going out of business; Rose and Bernie are retiring,
They're shooting for the end of September or so to close.

Solid copy in Detroit this morning (Sat 8/12) of 90.3 WCLV Cleveland. Nothing outstanding but for the radio being a low-end table "stereo" with a short wire antenna, on which I usually have to strain to copy locals WEMU and WHFR at my location, Going to tune around some more, also check 2M ham band ...

There'd be a lot of hoops to jump thru, what with cables and adaptors and converters to connect in order to display ATSC 3.0 (aka "NextGen TV") HD content on a vintage set. None of the technical features of 3.0 will be available for you to see or hear. Unless you're using that 1993 TV as some sort o...

I meant the legality of piping in a commercial FM station into your phone system. Why would that be illegal? As a former GM, I would welcome that. I remember ASCAP, BMI, SESAC at one time going after places, as their license to broadcasters didn't include public address (restaurants, waiting rooms,...

"Slow down on 96 west at 275 because HUNTER BIDEN and the DEMOCRATS are holding up traffic looking for crack. Minor accident ok 94 at 12 mile because HUNTER BIDEN was looking at his laptop. More traffic in 10 minutes on WJR"

"and Killary's EMAILS are causing response time slowdowns!"

Just a guess, but when WWJ is at reduced power, the news anchors probably have to monitor in program mode, as opposed to "off air" They would not be monitoring "off air," it would drive them crazy. The 950AM signal heard at home or in-car is delayed 7 or more seconds from "real time." Monitoring th...

Audacy should sell WXYT to Relevant Radio, and use part of the money to put an AUX back at the 8 Mile site. Audacity does not own the 8 Mile site (American Tower). They'd have to spend a chunk of $ to outfit any kind of AM facility on that corner, if they were allowed to. They're not going to do th...

So, 3 years ago I noted here that Coast to Coast AM had been dropped by CKLW. Very recently, I tuned by AM800 around 1 am, and noticed, surprisingly, that I could actually hear the TOH Canadian Press newscast at a "normal" audio level, riding on a reasonably strong signal, not down in the noice. The...

Unless they're watching monitors showing an in-house video feed, people in the stadium can't see or hear "real time" live gamecasting like they used to, when you could sit in the bleachers and have Ernie in your ear with a pocket radio. Any OTA broadcast signal, whether video delivered in ATSC digit...

As a news reader, Tony doesn't do a bad job, but he's nothing special. I agree that the Troy faux pas falls on the script writer. Is Ortiz the only WWJ "anchor" who also records and reads commercial copy that runs through the day? Clothing store, weight loss plans etc.? That's always seemed tacky t...
