Maybe I am confused and out of the loop but why are there two CW networks in Detroit? Is one of them planning on stopping affiliation? They gave it to 20 and took it away or gave it back? Or did it get taken away from 50 (again).

I'm sure Jesus will be excited to hear about this. Jesus isn't too crazy about the rimshot signal, but all the good ones were being used to dispense the all important programming of Bro Country and 1970s butt rock. I hope this is a good one. We don't have enough religious programming in Mid ...

Hope FM religious programming is now on the air repeating their introduction message. It will officially go live July 1st. This replaces 98.9 The Beat that has been off the air since the beginning of this year.

Would WJRT be the most likely station to pick this up in the Flint area considering it already has MeTV?

MeTV Toons will launch June 25, 2024 across the country.

What is comic is that their very own program listings show what's supposed to be on there--as does the Info bar on my TV.

Maybe the engineers at WJRT are unaware that it's not on.

What are their plans for this? It seems like it's taking a really long time for them to put a station there. (Sorry if this has already been discussed on this page)

I live in Lapeer and this station seems to always be off the air or running dead air. I wonder if they are having transmitter issues. Daily. There always seems to be something wrong with it.

Why did they put this station on the air? It literally does nothing but play instrumental versions of classic hits songs. Does anybody know if there are future plans to actually use this frequency for anything worthwhile? Right now it's just a waste of a frequency. I don't know about you but I have ...

Saw it during a show promo. New logo is lame as hell. Bland sans serif font - all caps - "DETROIT50." Typical stupidity from CBS relative to management of its O & O stations. Some asshole literally spent 30 seconds designing that visual disgrace. They completely ruined the brands of so many ...

It's on this website.

This may have already been posted but WKBD has removed the "CW50" logo that they have always had. It is now "Detroit 50" I am not sure how to include images on this but I noticed this change today.

Very horrible signal. This is impossible to get from Lapeer.

Apologies if this is already posted on this group but it looks like 38 will become CW after reading this article. "If the sale goes through, Detroit’s CW affiliation will almost certainly move from WKBD to WADL. Nexstar owns a majority stake in the CW Network, and operates nearly all of Mission B ...

On a Zapperbox there is usually a lock next to encrypted channels. There isn't one on 5, it's just blacked out.

It's so bad that I can sometimes receive WLDR from Traverse City on 101.9, from Lapeer.
