Re: Virus Stops Toledo Station’s Ability to Run Video
What ever happened to having an analog or tape-based back-up? It would be like a radio station that couldn't play CDs or LPs because their automation went down and they couldn't run a board and play the audio, like the good old days? 13's automation is not good- a real person to be the board op and...

Robitussin Cough Syrup. The woman is coughing in her kitchen. A bear comes to her open window and hands her a bottle of the cough syrup to try. The bear then asks Mind if I root through your trash? The Robitussin bear sounds almost just like the Muppets' Fozzie Bear (who is himself appearing in som...

WDIV's Jermont Terry
Was wondering why I hadn't seen the impeccably-attired Jermont Terry reporting on Local4 in a few weeks.
Turns out he's now on WBBM TV (CBS Chicago). If they gave him a "See Ya" shoutout on WDIV before he left I missed it.

Re: TCM
Like others here, I lamented the shift on Comcast/Xfinity of TCM to a different programming "tier." My quite old Motorola cable box died last week. Went to an Xfinity retail shop to turn it in and planned, influenced by the TCM shift and other program and fee tweaks, to also terminate TV service-Cut...

Re: WPON WCXI Updates - 2019
2p Monday 11/4, Well, well... WPON 1460 is on, playing soulful oldies and a live DJ, saying "This is the 20-Grand Review show on WPON 1460, we're back, we're glad to be back home." Quizzing about a song, asking listeners to call 248-557-1460 or web wpon.com. WCXI 1160 is on, playing French language ...

Re: Turner Classic Movies on Comcast
My biggest issue is I really only have cable companies to choose from for my internet access, and those prices seem to be always going up. Or they want you to sign a contract for a discounted rate that will ballon up later. The chances of getting fiber in my area is slim to none. And once you (or I...

Re: Warren Pierce
Warren Pierce is boring and talks about absolutely nothing. It takes him five minutes to ask a guest a question because they are so wordy. He’s a great cure for insomnia. It's only by the occasional accidental tune-by that I've ever caught his show. When I have, it's been pretty much like stumbling...

RetroTV changes in the works?
Earlier today I went to "myretrotv.com" to see if I could find what actual movie was being aired on RetroTV, WHNE 14.7, as the film did not match in any way what the EPG or TitanTV listing showed. The retroTV site was Not Available, it turned out, for many hours. Later this evening, the RetroTV home...

Re: TCM
A recent billing statement from Xfinity/Comcast mentioned that TCM would be removed from whatever "tier" I'm on and become part of a higher-priced bundle of stuff I won't ever want to watch. Sure enough, It's now unavailable both from the cable box and from TCM streaming app. Getting ever closer to ...

Re: Fillings
The metallic amalgam in old style fillings could act as a rectifier diode (like that in an old crystal set, detecting amplitude modulated (AM) signals. You would have to be nearby a strong RF field for that to happen. Same for any metal-to-metal junction. Besides kitchen appliances, there used to be...
