terrible news - any idea why it was off for so long?. I was hoping it was a permanent elimination of HD

"Authority" has done an excellent job over the decades shedding any respect they had previously earned.

Re: Fake news sports scores on WDIV ticker

Just found out it was U-M Dearborn who played Oakland. LMAO! Would've been nice if WDIV would've stated that in its ticker. Who knew the Dearborn campus even had its own basketball team? I sure didn't. U-M Dearborn competes at the NAIA level against such other schools as Madonna in Livonia Wolverin...

Re: CNN loses 90% of its audience

maybe there was a super newsworthy event in the 1st week of 2021 compared to 2022. Maybe 1/6/2021 drove people to all news outlets and those numbers were artificially high.

how much did Fox News and OAN's numbers fall?

The HD-only side channels are best used for rebroadcasting AM band sister stations, feeding FM analog translators, or broadcasting programming intended for niche audiences. The technology can also be use...

Re: Down goes HD

Yep, GM is so happy, they save 25cents a radio again. Why not install a Motorola AM CQUAM chip instead- no royalties to pay, and you can hear WION and CFCO in stereo? you have no idea how much money 25 cents is , these people buy components to the hundredth of a cent in the elctrical portion of the...

Re: College Hockey

Channel 50 still does air quite a bit of sports. Lots of college basketball ala raycom sports or acc network. no where close to what they used to do, and ACC basketball is not "local" and that ACC stuff stopped 3 years ago, and got folded into the cable channel "ACC network" - Bally Sports Detroit ...

Re: College Hockey

the game was more of a "televised stream" than anything else, about a 30-45 second delay from the action on the ice, and regular macro-=blocking and other picture artifacts that are never on a traditional broadcast and only seen on streams

Remember when Jim Palmer was a touted guest by Ron! That was years ago now. Hell, I’d settle for Dean Palmer!
he would settle for the small size of Dean's French Onion dip during the show. Slobbering all over himself while on the air

Re: Could Detroit support a FM commercial Spanish language station?

that's a great point, so in other markets with similar sized latin % populations, what % of non-latins listen to the latin station (for comparison) - would be interesting to know how much cross-ethnic pull there is for that format
