Re: Bell Media shutters TSN Radio in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Hamilton
Been listening to Bloomberg for a few days now and I have only one complaint. Just when you're interested in an item, they cut away to an ad. I know they need advertising to pay the bills, but they should wait for the end of the story before cutting away. When the ad is over, they don't return to t...

Re: MSNBC meltdown
What you describe reminds me of network TV coverage of the JFK assassination (which is all available on YouTube)... Over at NBC they had difficulties patching Robert McNeil's phone audio from Dallas. At first they tried attaching an amplifier speaker to the handset, which only produced feedback squ...

Re: Loss of Limbaugh, Retirement Of Beckman And Others, May Force Changes At WJR
Premiere Radio Network has announced that they will be airing mostly "archival" (basically, a best-of) audio for "weeks" during Rush's time slot. Even his hardcore fans will tire of that in a few days; they really need a fill-in host to discuss current topics immediately, otherwise listeners will a...

Re: All of SE Michigan except Midland & Bay
Lansing. Flint. Saginaw. All towns with TV stations. Is anyone in Midland watching Channel 4 for the weather? None of the Detroit channels are on cable in the Tri-Cities, especially since WKBD was replaced with WBSF after that station signed on. For many cable viewers in that area, channel 4 is WEY...

Re: Bell Media shutters TSN Radio in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Hamilton
And for a Comedy format? :rolleyes That's been tried, and everywhere it's been tried, it's died. One that literally died was the first "Funny" station, London's CKSL -- it was the very first station to carry a comedy format in Canada in 2011, after flipping from Oldies. It ceased operations almost ...

Weren't there plans for News Nation to become a 24/7 service, effectively replacing WGN America?

The audience space for Jeopardy back in Hollywood is in much, much smaller quarters than this.

Re: Network television ratings IN THE TOILET
The Weakest Link was a decent show back in the day. Anne Robinson and her meanness was the biggest draw. The Original show was a big fad that declined later on in 2001, which was the year it debuted. I also liked the daytime syndicated version, which was hosted by George Gray (now Drew Carey's anno...

Re: "American Bandstand" (1975 - 1989) NOT on WJRT 12
Bandstand was practically foreign to me, due to the fact that the local ABC affiliates where I have lived, including WJRT, bumped it for something else. I did not get to see Bandstand other than on anniversary specials or the VH1 repeats. By the way, Bandstand left ABC in 1987 -- it was in syndicati...
