Ooops! Something very bad has happened with Bally Sports' connection from Comerica Park. Tonight's broadcast is audio only on a connection that's not even as good as your iPhone on speaker. Ol' Shep says it's a power outage. My spy told me one of the park's server rooms had a pretty bad failure a f...

For those who are in the know, what programming did he replace on WPON?

Is there any chance that 20 would want to pick up The CW affiliation?

Zero. No way a Scripps station is going to link up with Nexstar.

The media has been paying for press box food for at least a decade, even was Ron was still attending games.

Ron recently said that this was not the case at Piston games.

Sorry, was specifically referring to the Tigers' press box. I think the majority of MLB teams charge nowadays.

1) Why does our hero hate the Tiger management so much? A) The Tigers fired his hero Avila?? B) The PR dept. thru him out of the press box because he ate all the free food?? (You know how Ron hates paying for meals) C) Did the PR dept. make him start paying for the food? 2) On another note....why d...

And it looks like he will be retiring after all. Last day is Dec. 22:

On a more serious note, I remember listening to David Newman his first night on the air in Detroit. He was hired to replace someone, also new to Detroit, who took his life sometime after his first broadcast. Alan Douglas. Literally took his life the next day. Here's a clip of him from his Cleveland...

I had just noticed that WUDT has just went silent and it won't return to the air until they move back to RF 8 after the repack.

What is Ron going to do now that his nemesis handles the Red Wings PR as well...

Think of all the free food that Ron's missing out on by no longer having a pass.

Can't speak for the other teams, but the food in the press box at Comerica is not free, and wasn't free even when Ron had a pass.

He's also pushing 70, maybe he wants to retire.

It was pre-empted in Houston, none-too-coincidentally from a Graham station as well.

Since TitanTV relies on the stations to enter their listings, I wonder if that method recently changed and has become a lot harder to use. Are there particular stations that are acutely bad? Zap2It uses Gracenote, which is the generally accepted best company that provides listing data. Rovi, my form...
