MW, when are you going to offer up your expertise as a part time weatherman?

He'll need to get bolt-ons and transition in order to have any chance at WDIV.

I figured out some of the issue. 2,4,7 are carrying WMYD on their legacy streams in order to use WMYD's license for ATSC 3.0.

But holy crap is the ATSC 3.0 PQ awful, and the lighthouse station is making everything else awful.

I had a chance to gather some data today. ATSC3...they're not even trying. Not sure how they think 8 megabits is acceptable for sports with MPEG2 encoding, but hey, that passive income from showing old TV shows I guess is too hard to pass. https://i.ibb.co/QJJmdgT/Screen-Shot-2023-09-09-at-12-09-12-...

Is this only on the 3.0 broadcasts, or are you seeing this on their regular channels? I have not seen any of their 3.0 stuff yet. No, it is everything. The halo effect around people (more like a watery ghosty outline) was coming from network and was confirmed by looking at Fox 36 out of Toledo as w...

Dear Fox 2, Your picture quality sucks. Now I know some of the motion artifacts are coming over the network, especially that halo affect around players because of the grass, but holy crap if I were AT&T, I'd ask for a refund for that mottled paid graphic over the score. Channel 7, you're not far beh...

The show made the restoration controversial because racism and Detroit's neighborhoods have been neglected. Those boats are in no way a warm soft fond remembrance of days past because for older black citizens of Detroit, they represent segregation. Segregation that was shamelessly defended to the b...

That's the guy they decide to get rid off? Did they forget where Bernie's office is?

Ha! That was funny.

General manager Bobby Ellis was Bernie's lackey in the 90's, sadly Bernie isn't going anywhere with Ellis at the helm unless Bernie wants out.

This is how the AM band marked its decline, the religious broadcasters piled in one after another as corporate radio sought to put its money elsewhere.

That sounds like an engineering f-up. I bet someone patched incorrectly or moved video to where it is not supposed to be. Or in the case of network switched video, didn't program something correctly.

The Great Voice of the Great Lakes!

It's become quite evident why Mike Wheeler didn't survive in the Atlanta market. Terrible programmer.

Rake around it and light it on fire.

I cannot stand Kim Adams. Classic sociopath. I celebrated when she left the first time and was pissed when they brought her back. She reminds me of the character from the movie “to die for”. Manipulative and vain, shallow and untrustworthy, self centered and cruel. Holy crap. She's just someone doi...

Does she have any idea what the hell she's talking about? No, because she's a product of a broadcast diploma mill. Ashlee does a better job because she is sharp enough to know that all she has to do is read the work that's already been done for her in their software and the NOAA weather forecasts a...

NOAA Weather with Android, I haven't found anything close with Apple. There isn't anything on IOS worth a crap since Apple killed Dark Sky. Their own integration is so unreliable for text warnings, I built my own system to send me and the old lady SMS messages for AWIPS sourced alerts. It works lik...

I honestly think the NWS and the media outlets dropped the ball. I wouldn't say dropped the ball, the storm looked deceptively tame. I was a few miles to the west of the path and the only clue was hail that looked like the tiniest of sleet pellets and a sudden torrent of rain. The usual signs just ...

Most stations have a computer system that requires manually triggering the mapping or ticker. This is something every weather team has fought against but is a byproduct of the supplier of all the weather systems. Unfortunately until something large happens and nothing is triggered it won't change h...
