Re: Does anyone doubt that Trump would carry out his promise to be a dictator on day 1?

But the "cult" theory still doesn't explain all the luke-warm Trump voters that will show up. That you *think* will show up. The rest of us with clear sight are not seeing that. It’s early for our annual yard sign unscientific poll but I saw far fewer Trump flags while meandering around nowhere tod...

Re: Does anyone doubt that Trump would carry out his promise to be a dictator on day 1?

The only thing I know is that we will never see a Nixon '72 or Reagan '84 ever again. I think even Mondale's mom voted for Reagan in 1984. It will continue to be the usual suspects in blue and in red, a surprise and a down-to-the-wire outcome. TL;dr: we're fucked. Until enough Boomers die off that’...

Re: I finally did it!!! I dumped Xfinity for video service in favor of YouTubeTV!

Making the switch soon from Spectrum to YouTubeTV. Any updates here? Congrats, you will be happy you made the switch. It may take a minute to get used to the concept of not "channel surfing", but once you get used to how the app works you will love it. Just the ease of being able to watch on your p...

Re: Goodrich looks to transfer WPRR FM 90.1 to Tyrone Bynum

Rural Allegan County is certainly a weird place to put a radio station whose original purpose was to air primarily programming from Pacifica. The city of Allegan (population ~5,000) was the largest town within the predicted 50 dBu contour. Allegan is also barely within the predicted 60 dBu contour....

Re: How much jail time will Trump get?

Have seen several social media posts today from MAGA types calling for the official start of the New Civil War. Wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not. Considering the vast majority of Trump cultists are either morbidly obese, mental simpletons, elderly, and/or Karens, I'm pretty confident the ...

Does Trump go to "fuck me on the ass" prison?
Assuming he ends up getting sentenced to any type of incarceration at all:

Re: Catholic Priests continue to Rape Children

Yeah, this thread is a bad look. Catholics are not bible thumpers and tend not to push their religion on others. We have a more traditional view of religion and are smart enough to know that Gospels written decades after Jesus died are not literal. Are you Catholic? How bout that... so am I. TC's p...

It takes incredible talent to earn such terrible numbers with COUNTRY on a 50,000 watt signal in West Michigan. A nonstop loop of flatulence would earn stronger numbers on 107.3.
Agreed. Seems that without even trying, they should at least be able to grab a 2.5 with that format.

Re: Thoughts on the Current State and Potential Future of Detroit Radio

Look at the night pattern of our humble WJR: https://nf8m.com/pattern_maps/current/NIGHTTIME-UNLIMITED/NIGHTTIME-UNLIMITED_760KHz-1.html When you can reach literally half of North America who can listen almost anywhere and for free, with radios already in their houses and cars, that's still an extr...

Re: Emmys and those that don't deserve it

Congrats to those who were nominated for an Emmy. I know people have different opinions on Emmy's and their worth but I think when people put their own money up to pay for them, they should still get accolades when they are nominated. It looks like the Bally's bankruptcy stuff affected their entrie...

Re: I-375 deconstruction is crony capitalism in action

Agreed. From the beginning this project seemed suspect for what they claimed they wanted to accomplish. A nine or six lane roadway isn't going to create any kind of neighborhood or neighborhood feel. If development is the goal, it seems like that alone could be a selling point. But I guess for a Dem...
