Now that there are a few ATSC 3 stations operating in the Detroit area is there any content being broadcast that is different than the ATSC 1 channels?

Does anyone here watch the BBC News using a VPN an the BBC Iplayer?

If so do you have any issues with it? How well does it work?

How about getting a tenna-rotor? You can get your directional antenna, and rotate if when needed to get other channels. I have an older model of this and it works great. https://www.solidsignal.com/rca-programmable-outdoor-antenna-rotator-with-remote-vh226f https://www.menards.com/main/p ...

WWJ is also on 97.1 HD2. That is how I always listen to it.

I wonder if WWJ is next.

Well this is just sad. If Audacy us doing this to their flagship station I wonder if WWJ is next.

I live in Royal Oak almost due north of CBET. Went on vacation for a few weeks and when I came home I am no longer receiving CBET. It was showing a peak level of about 30 before I left but now it is nothing. My antenna is a Stellar Labs low VHF/UHF.

Is anyone else having issues receiving CBET?

Well known FM antenna expert Brian K6STI says it likely is not great. That's too bad..

Sky Blue has released a 9 element antenna for FM. Supposed to be a copy of the Channel Master Stereo Probe 9. Looks interesting. https://youtu.be/IORPEOxmDJU?si=Zg_51kLKCeS6YfQU https://www.nesselectronics.com/products/sky-blue-antenna-sb80-fm-antenna-omni-directional-41-boom-copy?_pos=1&_psq=sbfm9 ...

Thanks to everyone who replied. It was an interesting discussion.

Did nobody in radio pick up on the idea that people go to their iPods because they can choose from way more than 200 songs on repeat and the listeners get bored as hell? I have not listened to them for more than 5 minutes for decades. I would rather listen to nothing than WCSX and most other local ...

I rarely listen to any local music stations other than WAHS, WDET or WRCJ. Sometimes I do put on WCSX and I swear that it is always Aerosmith doing Walk this Way. Maybe I am exaggerating but it seems like they have a VERY limited playlist. Does anyone have any idea how many different songs they are ...

Good luck with that business plan.

I have one of those antennas and it is pretty good.

I also did this mod and it helps a bit. http://ham-radio.com/k6sti/stellar.htm

I saw them at Cobo on 3/5/1973 do the Dark Side of the Moon tour. At that time it was the biggest arena they had ever played in.
