Re: WDIV’s Evening, Late News Top-Rated In 2020

WXYZ seems to have new reporters most of the time I can't get used to or like. A revolving door. The Malcolm Maddox fiasco was poorly handled, probably turned off women viewers and made them mad. WJBK is tolerable at 10 PM. WJBK in the morning is wretched . WDIV has good solid anchors in Rhonda ...

Re: Brandon Roux..WTF is his problem?

I am not sure, but thought I had heard Roux is on insulin. I am struggling with Type 2, the acquired kind from eating sweets. Type 1 , which I think is what Roux has , could eventually, and I mean a possibility wear out the pancreas and can be life threatening. I get the feeling that Roux has ...

Most professional news people, love WDIV. I peek at the 10 PM at WJBK, which is tolerable.

Re: Brandon Roux..WTF is his problem?

I know Brandon has some quirks. However it appears he is struggling with his health. He has diabetes, his son also has it. Not sure what kind. But I know it has played a big part in his life. Brandon also had complicated back surgery a few years ago and had to wear a brace for a long time. His ...

Re: Retro TV WHNE

I watched WHNE reruns of the old soap The Doctors. Since the conversion , I can't get the signal. Have tried different in house antennas . I realize I would need a new antenna. You can subscribe to Retro for a monthly fee. Not going to do that. WHNE should have applied for a better channel. I wonder ...

Re: Transitioning to new graphics for WXYZ

WXYZ just seems to be a revolving door of on air people I can't keep track of. The mornings not so bad, they were worse last year. About the only thing I look at is their weather forecasting. Their general reporters have the same droning style, no personality. Whatever graphics WXYZ switches to won ...

Re: New weather person on 2

I hope Charlie retires. His voice is grating. But the one I really want off the screen is Ryan Ermani. He must be related to someone for them to keep him around. I am sure he is a nice guy in real life. He does not have a stage presence or voice for TV, I have said before Ryan is alright for the ...

Re: The anchor shuffle at WWJ

I enjoy WWJ radio. Listen to it for traffic and weather info when driving.. But there is a weekend midnight anchor lady that needs to quit speaking with a " sing song " type of on air delivery. Very grating on the nerves.

Re: Question I would love to ask the Fox 2 staff...

I generally turn the channel when Ryan is on; especially when he's doing a report from in the field (where his yelling is at its worst). The odd thing is - when he did his radio show, his voice didn't bother me. Ryan Ermani does not have a good on air persona . He is ok as a 3rd banana for sports ...

Re: Andrew Humphrey of WDIV cannot forecast worth a shit!

I think Andrew is alright. I have met Paul Gross , very nice man, but needs to simplify his on air forecast a little bit. Brandon Roux can be entertaining and funny but he waves his hands all over the place. Makes me dizzy. I watch a lot of the newscasts on the local Metro stations and like most of ...

Re: Warren Pierce

I saw Pierce doing a commercial at a car dealership in 2009. He was extremely weird and wired. People were trying to avoid him . He was trying to make small talk with customers and the things he said were strange and insensitive.
