Another stellar performance for the Cumeless stations. What a joke.

Re: Jim Ochs Passed Away today

I saw it on Facebook I thought on Ed Kelly's (WJR) page, but a quick scan shows it wasn't his page. I worked with his wife, Deb, years ago, and I know Jim had been suffering from lung cancer.

From the "I'm Not Surprised" department, the Circle's stellar (cough) ratings performance of late has opened up the ND position at Broadcast House.

Re: Did WXYZ announce hour long noon show?

Roop and Taryn Asher anchor the 5 p.m. hour; Huel and Monica anchor the 6 p.m. hour. I didn't watch to see if that ends the "good news only" thing they had going from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., but based on the ratings, my guess would be they 86'd it.

They didn't, and the Deuce didn't announce the changes in the 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. anchor block either.

Re: WDRQ must be making WYCD sweat

Is Rachel that lady with the horrible plastic surgery that used to be on the morning show at WDRQ years ago? She used to laugh over every comment that was made on that show, like she had mental issues or something. God damn, her face is so messed up. That would be her. She's a cockroach, just like ...

Re: 7 news hits a new low with the political bias

I hate to break this to you, but the opinion and editorializing was always there. They just lied about their bias back then. Walter Cronkite, “the most trusted man in America”, was a partisan democrat who was personal chums with democrat politicians. Dan Rather is currently a disgraced, unemployed ...
