WZMQ CBS 19 is teasing a new addition to their roster.
Turns out they've hired longtime U.P. sportscaster Mike Ludlum, and also U.P. veteran TV salesperson Mark Nebel:

Re: CW7 changing on 1-1-24?

It'll be on 41-2. Interesting. What's on 41-2 now? Hi smallwonder, MW & All, Currently 41.x WOTV on RF17 provides: 41.1 ABC [HD 720p] 41.2 dabl 41.3 CHARGE! 41.4 Local weather radar and NOAA weather radio dabl is also available in market on 64.6 WLLA on RF22. I'll predict that 41.2 gets upgraded to...

Re: recommendation wanted - BASIC cheap FM radio antenna for stereo receiver

Are there any stores still left in the Grand Rapids area that sell these 75/300 ohm adapters, where I can buy them in person? I miss Radio Shack! lol -- I know I can order them super cheap online, but it'd be nice to have a local source where I can purchase and have them immediately, not wait days ...

Re: WUWB-LD West Branch, Rose City. Is it UP?

... I don't know what to think. Will it really ever come back or not? Hi MikeBear, Glad you weren't holding your breath desperately seeking either of the M33 Media LPTV stations.

Re: WADL didnt show the CW ACC football game this past saturday

We have something weird over this way. WLAJ (ABC) and WLNS (CBS) do something of a time share. WLNS runs their news on WLAJ, and WLAJ 53.2 has some kind of alternate CW. Strange stuff. The insight I can offer on the Lansing market's CW situation: * It's a single broadcast stream (on RF14) that prov...

Re: digital TV signals

Hi Feature/writer, I'll add to all the great points given above. As MW pointed out, 4 of the broadcasts in the West Michigan market are on (High) VHF wavelengths. Most markets our size have only one VHF broadcast, by the way. Jason noted about wanting an antenna with dipoles 3 feet wide, which is my...

WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

If it hasn't been noticed already, the WLLZ and WMDX transmissions may soon be coming from the WDET tower. WLLZ's license to cover for their Auxiliary operating system there was approved today (9/7/2023), after having been filed on 8/16/2023. WMDX's filling of the Auxiliary license to cover happened...

Re: WLAV Tower Relocation - new update 7/29

And WLAW is transmitting from the new site, the water tower. They can dot the i's, and close the book on both of these moves. ... It's looking like today is indeed the conclusion of this whole WLAV / WLAW move saga. Sure, WLAV has been set now for over three years from the GVSU on-campus tower. But...

Re: WJR SUV up north

Thanks to statmanmi for answering my question. I had looked on WJR’s website to try to figure it out but didn’t see what you found. It was Paul W. driving As far as up north, I agree with Mark. Arenac County westward, to me, is up north. The laid back attitudes seem to start there. You're welcome R...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

I agree regarding the awkwardness. The narrowness of that room makes it anti-photogenic. I wonder what is on the other side of the wall where the weathercast monitor is mounted? That wall, ideally, should not be there. The space would look much more open without it. Hi MW and All, If anyone from th...

There are actually several new faces on 'vine & 10, but the geniuses in marketing there have yet to post them on the stations' website. Seems fb or nuthin' these days...
