Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
Comcast dropped WCMU in Flint despite WCMU still being assigned to the Flint/Tri-Cities market. However, both dishes and Spectrum still carry WCMU in the entire Flint DMA. In fact, WCMU is still carried on Spectrum systems in northern Oakland County and Lapeer County. Speaking of WCMU, I'm a little...

Re: Weather Boys
This is why I don't watch WJBK anymore. Maybe female viewers in their 20s and 30s think this is cute. I find it juvenile.
In 40 years, channel 2 went from Chuck Gaidica to this.

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
I think Candy Candy had an English dub from ZIV International that ended up direct to video (or in syndication) in the U.S. ZIV also dubbed the '70s Nippon Animation Little Lulu series, which also aired on TVO, at least in French (maybe in English too). Seem like Canada gave these shows a chance wh...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
I grew up with Comcast in Mount Clemens/Clinton Township, and the only Canadian station we ever got was CBET. We didn't even have WGN, getting the inferior WOR/WWOR instead. i was able to watch TVO on channel 32 with rabbit ears, though. Without a good antenna, it was the only other Canadian station...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
One of the neat things about getting to watch TVO and CBC French, for me, was all the anime they used to show that you couldn't see on the American networks. TVO had Alice in Wonderland, Tales of Magic and (during their Sunday French programming) Maeterlinck's Blue Bird (L'Oiseau Bleu); SRC had Ali...

Re: Tornado coverage
I watched some of WOOD TV's coverage on YouTube of the Van Buren County/Lawton area tornado warning. Impressive job as always.

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
9&10 had cable coverage in parts of the Thumb as well. WNEM and WJRT were carried in the Michigan Sault in place of the northern Michigan affiliates of NBC and ABC. 29&8 didn't even have cable coverage in the Michigan Sault, which also got WJRT (both 7&4 and WNEM were carried on the Michigan side)....

Re: WCMU Transmitter Building Fire
I asked on their FB page if this was due to a lightning strike. They replied that the cause is still under investigation.

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
I believe CFPL was carried on cable in parts of the Thumb. I don’t think it is now. The TVO Windsor repeater was on cable in some Metro systems. It may still be in isolated spots. I don’t believe CBEFT was on any Michigan system at any point. Same goes for CHWI and CHCH (the latter does, or did, ma...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
Global was not carried in the Free Press TV listings in the '80s, although CKCO 42 was. IIRC, it had a similar footprint in Michigan both OTA and cable. CHBX 2 (still in analog) has never been on cable in the Michigan Sault (although it was at one time carried in Newberry and Rogers City). CJIC 5 (C...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs
I remember watching the Care Bears on Saturday morning in the late '80s on channel 29 from my grandparents' house in Romeo. It came in quite well with their outdoor antenna. If it's gone, that's the end of local OTA TV in Sarnia/Port Huron, with CKCO 42 and the CBC/SRC Toronto repeaters long gone. I...
