Re: Free Press & News putting up paywall on Aug 12

The problem with newspaper sites is, they want you to subscribe and then they turn around and whore out your reading habits because they have your name and a location, which is exceptionally valuable to third-party trackers and ad companies like Criteo. Hard pass on that. I used to support a local a...

Re: Numerous FM translators are off the air this morning

They should remain off for good. Is it just me, or do you want every radio station in the world to go away forever? Only the ones owned by failing over-leveraged corporations. I long for the days when the owner, who was also general manager and sales manager, spent six hours debating whether or not...

Mob? Looks like the employees are fed up with the boss.

Re: Palace explodes

Detroit Metro was planned as the major airport from the 1930s, when the land was purchased and it was turned into Romulus Field. At the time, no one expected the events of the 1960/70s would cause a large portion of the productive people to move north from the city and the inner suburbs. By taking ...

If it’s that bad when in the hell do you watch it?
I have come to the belief that certain people like being pissed off. They have to be angry about something, and seek that out.

I'm fine with it if it works for them, I'm just not interested in it.

Gretchen Whitmer is a terrible Governor and from what I understand not a good person.
She's not terrible, but she isn't great either, she's pretty much copied what other states have been doing.

If I had advice for her, if someone from Virgina Tech calls, she should probably hear them out.

Re: New add at WDIV, it seems

Remember when Detroit used to be where people would work years and years to get to? Now they hire kids 5 or 6 years out of school. When did channel 4 really start going downhill? Was it when Mort hung it up? Yesterday heard "Help Me Hank" doing promotions that he would be taking calls and helping v...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

Running both transmitters at the same time completely freaked out my HDHomerun. Once I updated to the latest firmware, it settled down but it seemed that it simply would not let go of the old channel regardless of scans.

Re: Coronavirus is in Michigan

Every element of this, is to avoid overwhelming the hospitals. If we later find that the reaction was overzealous, so be it. Doctors in Italy are making decisions on who lives and dies. Half the people in ICU in The Netherlands are under 50. The mortality rate on this might be only 2%, but the rate ...

Re: Art Van is out of money and is liquidating and closing all stores

See, not a vulture capital situation at all. Far from it. Thomas H. Lee lost its ass. They are a subordinated creditor at best and a common equity holder at worst. Their entire investment is "out of the money." Granted, we don't know how much of the $550 million purchase price was funded with their...

Ive never listened to WYCD on 99.5, prob. since WOW FM.
So it's true - someone actually DID listen to Wow FM!
So that makes three. This person, and the two middle school students who would call in and do prank calls.

Re: CBET TV Channel 9

Same here, used to be roaring in and then they fell off my DVR records a couple weeks ago. I thought I had antenna problems, so I investigated that and had just enough signal to pull them in last night for hockey. This morning, they were gone again. Outside I went, fine tuned the antenna a bit more ...
