Re: Art Van is out of money and is liquidating and closing all stores

See, not a vulture capital situation at all. Far from it. Thomas H. Lee lost its ass. They are a subordinated creditor at best and a common equity holder at worst. Their entire investment is "out of the money." Granted, we don't know how much of the $550 million purchase price was funded with their...

Ive never listened to WYCD on 99.5, prob. since WOW FM.
So it's true - someone actually DID listen to Wow FM!
So that makes three. This person, and the two middle school students who would call in and do prank calls.

Re: CBET TV Channel 9--tower work

Hi All, Someone posting over in the Detroit thread of AVSForum provided a link this weekend to the CBC's article regarding their ongoing tower work that would be affecting FM and TV channel 9 signal strength while underway: Thanks for that. Would certainly explain the decent signal for Hockey Night...

Re: CBET TV Channel 9

Same here, used to be roaring in and then they fell off my DVR records a couple weeks ago. I thought I had antenna problems, so I investigated that and had just enough signal to pull them in last night for hockey. This morning, they were gone again. Outside I went, fine tuned the antenna a bit more ...

Re: This is great reporting by the Detroit Free Press

Their reporting of Ford vehicle maladies in recent weeks has been terrific, and the bombshell article about widespread, severe defects in 2020 Ford Explorers is definitely an attention grabber! https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2019/09/13/ford-2020-explorer-lincoln-aviator-delivery/229279...

Re: Kevin Dietz supporters push back

I don't blame Dietz' supporters,as Dietz' joke referenced the difficulty in bringing needed diversity to TV news . (And other forms of journalism .) The African-American reporter wasn't offended,and while perhaps Dietz should have been suspended for a week for violating company policy re. possibly ...

Re: WOW FM?

Never realized their office was in Royal Oak. The only station I have vivid memories being in that city was WEXL. 99.5 had been there since Lorraine Golden and Jim Harper moved it when it was WDTX. They were in the building next to Royal Oak music theater. Really cool facility actually. The buildin...

Re: Whitmer vs. Fox2

Gretchen showed up in a tight dress. I thought she looked pretty hot but there was little substance to her words. No discussion of any path forward but plenty of talk of hashtags. I took it as very clever social engineering; you're not hearing a lot of complaints about a lack of an actual plan to "...

Re: Jennifer Granholm

How does that song go, trying to catch a deluge in a paper cup? I'm curious what you think she should have or could have done. Those jobs were going to the south, to Mexico, to China or just automated. It's a good question, and do I have an authoritative answer on what, if anything, would have prev...

Re: Jennifer Granholm

The fact that such a hyperpartisan hack got hired by them shows just how slanted to the left CNN is. I'm not sure she completely cares that Michigan struggled under her watch as long as she could successfully pin all the blame on Republicans. Her party and agenda are all she cared about. Actually, ...

I'm sorry...Lou. She was a horrible leader.
