WWJ signal problems?
Was trying to listen to WWJ this morning, ahead of the THREE HOUR UM pregame block. Very weak signal, almost overwhelmed by local electrical noise, and lots of crackling and breakup on audio peaks. Something obviously amiss!

Re: WKBD screwed up... BAAAAD
WKBD's on-air feeds are controlled from a hub facility in Atlanta. So, their fault.

Entercom hit with ransomware attack
Lance Venta at Radioinsight.com reports that last weekend Entercom's corporate servers were hit with a ransomware attack, demanding $500K. They're not saying much about it.

Re: WPON WCXI Updates - 2019
Copying 1160 S9 this morning in NW Detroit. Sounds like Indian music, no Oldies today.
Other closer-in local Birach properties 690, 1090 around S9+10,
No signal whatever on 1460.

Re: New channel frquencies
Noticed today that oddball channel 1.1 is no longer a valid entry on my sets. WDWO's "3ABN" network now correctly shows up only as 18.5 (which I immediately checkboxed as a "SKIP" channel in tuner settings). Amen.

Re: WWJ DT3
The actual moving text now only says, repeatedly, WWJ-TV DT3 DET.
The scrambly text earlier was due to steps needed to program the scrolling message in the test generator.

Lou Roberts, RIP
Lou Roberts ("real" name Louis Prosapio), who was on-air at a number of Detroit radio stations and did voiceover work, has passed away at 71. Obit at Detroit News, Legacy and Kaul Funeral Home sites.
(I think it was his voice that tagged the "Belle Tire" spots)

Re: Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethons
Twenty four hours of 1950s Vegas schtick just wasn't attracting the audience it used to. And Jerry's rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" got more disjointed every year. You just never knew at what point in the song he'd break down. Vegas gamblers probably made book on it. The local market breaks ...

Re: Why don't large sites have a "Top" button?
