I totally forgot about KYW's early start in Chicago!

I recall back in the 1960s, there was a station in Cleveland OH with the KWY call letters. When did it change? KYW was in Cleveland until a federal ruling undid the NBC-Westinghouse swap between Cleveland and Philadelphia. KYW went back to Philadelphia with Westinghouse, and the Cleveland stations ...

Neither have I.

Dick was a true media icon and as well-loved as any media personality can be.

A Sacramento sports figure (same guy who owned the WLAF Sacramento Surge/CFL Sacramento Gold Miners) actually started building a baseball stadium out by Arco Arena...the presumed goal was to make a run at the A's. It sat unfinished for years, until it was filled in. Over in West Sacramento, a bridge...

The Oakland A's were on Salem's "860-AM The Answer" KTRB San Francisco, a conservative/Christian talker last season. After reading this article, it sounds like the station manager was surprised and disappointed that the A's chose not to renew with KTRB for a second season. I think the nature of KTR...

Speaking of WGN America and Canada, it aired CTV's "Corner Gas" for a year or two.

As far as Nexstar canning CLTV, it is simple to explain - they are focusing on WGN news-wise. They have already added some news and sports shows to Channel 9...

I touched on this earlier, wondering why CBMT was so widely available on Michigan cable systems outside of the Detroit area - instead of CBET.

I believe the answer basically boiled down to easy satellite availability of CBMT...

Is Susan Pedler back in broadcasting somewhere?

Oh, I am sure they will update sets and graphics at some point. Probably after the Nexstar/whoever ends up with them dust settles. (Does Nexstar have a chain wide graphics style?) But there's no hurry. WJW could put their news team on a barren set with hand-written graphics and still be #1. Yes the...

Fox 8 News in the Morning is beyond dominant here. It is a ratings machine.

There's a Toledo Blade column that says this is an online-only video, part of a Toledo Public Schools-led campaign to motivate students. (Sorry, lost the link.)

Still a bad "look", but there is the context...

I moved to a Moto X4, still on Verizon prepaid. Got it on sale at a low price of sub-$150.

But it is unlocked, and very much Fi compatible if I decide to go that route.

Thr Verizon branded prepaid G4 Play doesn't support either VoLTE or international TravelPass. I got an E4 for VoLTE, and had to move to an E5 Play for TravelPass. Any newer ones should work fine.

This topic is very appropriate for this forum, as NewsNet is based out of Cadillac's "MI News 26".
