Re: RIP Don Shane

His banter on the set with Billy was always a treat. They'd fight. They'd joke. I'll never forget the times Don would turn up in the studio with reading glasses on the tip on his nose, grey toupee, and Bill Bonds just losing it ...

Re: 94-5 K-rock Toledo New Rock Perspective.

I never knew the station existed until just a few months before they poached The Dawn Busters from WIOT. Turning the dial early in the afternoon and heard this sweet female voice say, "Toledo classic Kansas on 94.5 FM WXKR," and right into "Sparks Of The Tempest". My jaw hit the floor. Expected to g...

Re: Scripps News 31.7

They should've never went with that Newsy name. How Fisher-Price can you get?!? At least they didn't have to spend much on the rebrand and I'd rather see the Scripps lighthouse logo by itself - ditch the lettering.

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

What are "internal ratings" ? Just curious. I thought all ratings data comes from Nielsen. The plan all along was to run many hours of news daily; they are not going to hire all the people that they've already hired and run only an hour or two of news daily. That wouldn't make much sense. Ratings p...

Just a job to do is actually my favorite Genesis song, Silver Rainbow I don't remember. I know WCSX has played Just a job to do or they used to.
Last time I heard that song, I was watching Bruiser Bedlam wrestling on WUPW! :lol:

It was their opening theme ... :D

Re: Channel 7 quietly launches 24/7 streaming service

Just got an email earlier stating PlutoTV will be adding a few local channels from select markets such as WSB in Atlanta, and Seattle's KIRO 7. I'm thinking that eventually CBS will be streaming all of their O&Os and affiliates over PlutoTV and slowing abandoning terrestrial television ...

Re: WLLZ

WIQB on its worst day sounded better than anything on WLLZ. Just heard Mr. Crowley followed by Metallica's "Turn The Page." Long gone are the days a jock would spin "Incomudro" so he could hit the loo, have a smoke, or scarf a sandwich. They'll beat us over the head with "Roundabout" instead of "Lea...

Re: WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

Yeah, you're right. Sad thing is when I lived with my mother just passed the county fairgrounds, I had built my own antenna out of the shell of a long commercial florescent light fixture we had in the kitchen. It just upped and died one day, so while she went to Lowe's to buy a new one, I removed it...

Re: WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

Is your antenna a flat panel style? If so, that antenna type is optimized for UHF, not VHF, reception. If field strength is good enough, VHF-hi reception is still very doable, but the unit will be less forgiving than a simple set of rabbit ears when it comes to reception impediments. Let me try fin...

Re: WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

Are those amps in series? You sure you need three amplifiers? I'm guessing the last one is just amplifying noise, along with whatever signal is in there. Will your TV not pick up anything with that last one in-circuit? Have you tried rearranging them to get the one with the lowest noise floor close...

Re: WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

It's bizarre you can get WTVG but not WTOL. Both are VHF-hi signals, as each broadcasts on its respective PSIP channel. WTOL cranks out a little more power than WTVG and its transmitting antenna is higher, too. I would suggest adjusting your antenna or purchasing a new antenna and then rescanning. ...

Re: WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

When's the last time you did a digital channel scan? Much has changed with the repack and with the inauguration of ATSC 3.0 testing. WMYD 20.1 (ATSC 1.0 / HD) is on RF 25 from the WXYZ tower. 20.2 is on RF 32 on the WDIV tower. WTVS (ATSC 1.0), WWJ-TV (ATSC 1.0) and WMYD DT (ATSC 3.0)are on the sam...

WMYD 20.1 gave up the ghost

The subject says it all -- WMYD 20.1 has disappeared in Monroe County. I can only pick up 20.2 Antenna TV with a 💯 signal on my Vizio V505-G9 but nothing else. I'm at the corner of Telegraph and Stewart in a 2nd floor apartment with my indoor YAGI pointed towards Ann Arbor. Today (and only today, I ...
