Re: ABC12 welcomes meteorologist Isaac Cleland

Good luck to him. I think he will do well as he grows into the position.

I kind of like this type of article. Just yesterday I saw a large sheet of ice/snow slide off a van and strike the windshield behind them. It's not the worst thing for the news to occasionally remind people of common sense behaviors and safety precautions.
Various stations do it periodically.

Re: WWJ again

It's not that difficult to pronounce "Shiawassee"... Not like Mark Watkins at 7&4 stammering through "Peshawbestown" his first week.

Re: Michigan viewers cancel cable TV in record numbers in 2022, report shows

Isn't worth it. For the amount of channels one actually watches, it isn't worth it. And with all the streaming services, you might as well pay the $70 for internet only.

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. Might be a load-bearing wall

Small 7&4 clip

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

I hate the look of the broadcast from the studio / newsroom / whatever. It is cramped, the anchor desk looks like it is designed for a much larger room (and is angled awkwardly), and the set up used for weather is total garbage. There is plenty of room in that building to construct a dedicated news...

Re: Kevin Essebaggers leaving for CMU

Like I said, point the finger at Bill Froelich, he has his head up the new owners ass..... and that is forcing good talent out the door. Shocked Lauren Scafidi and Adam Bartlemay are still there.... and Mike Stevens. Remember, Adam worked with Bill at 7&4 for several years. He knows Bill well, so p...

Don't you think Kevin just wanted a change and a pay increase? That's why most people in media leave.
Good point. But I would think at 25 years, he'd have a decent salary. But I could be very mistaken.

I wish him the best of luck.
