Fox 2 :: Your PQ Sucks

Dear Fox 2, Your picture quality sucks. Now I know some of the motion artifacts are coming over the network, especially that halo affect around players because of the grass, but holy crap if I were AT&T, I'd ask for a refund for that mottled paid graphic over the score. Channel 7, you're not far beh...

Re: Boblo Boat Documentary: Watch the special live Sunday night on Local 4

The show made the restoration controversial because racism and Detroit's neighborhoods have been neglected. Those boats are in no way a warm soft fond remembrance of days past because for older black citizens of Detroit, they represent segregation. Segregation that was shamelessly defended to the b...

That's the guy they decide to get rid off? Did they forget where Bernie's office is?

Ha! That was funny.

General manager Bobby Ellis was Bernie's lackey in the 90's, sadly Bernie isn't going anywhere with Ellis at the helm unless Bernie wants out.

Re: Update - sale of WDRQ to Family Life Radio CONFIRMED

This is how the AM band marked its decline, the religious broadcasters piled in one after another as corporate radio sought to put its money elsewhere.

Re: NBC Nightly News on MeTV

That sounds like an engineering f-up. I bet someone patched incorrectly or moved video to where it is not supposed to be. Or in the case of network switched video, didn't program something correctly.

The Great Voice of the Great Lakes!

It's become quite evident why Mike Wheeler didn't survive in the Atlanta market. Terrible programmer.

Rake around it and light it on fire.

Re: C'mon Kim Adams - get a clue...

I cannot stand Kim Adams. Classic sociopath. I celebrated when she left the first time and was pissed when they brought her back. She reminds me of the character from the movie “to die for”. Manipulative and vain, shallow and untrustworthy, self centered and cruel. Holy crap. She's just someone doi...

Re: C'mon Kim Adams - get a clue...

Does she have any idea what the hell she's talking about? No, because she's a product of a broadcast diploma mill. Ashlee does a better job because she is sharp enough to know that all she has to do is read the work that's already been done for her in their software and the NOAA weather forecasts a...

Re: Potential for major severe weather outbreak tomorrow (Wednesday)

NOAA Weather with Android, I haven't found anything close with Apple. There isn't anything on IOS worth a crap since Apple killed Dark Sky. Their own integration is so unreliable for text warnings, I built my own system to send me and the old lady SMS messages for AWIPS sourced alerts. It works lik...

Re: I guess local TV stations no longer broadcast weather warnings?

I honestly think the NWS and the media outlets dropped the ball. I wouldn't say dropped the ball, the storm looked deceptively tame. I was a few miles to the west of the path and the only clue was hail that looked like the tiniest of sleet pellets and a sudden torrent of rain. The usual signs just ...

Re: I guess local TV stations no longer broadcast weather warnings?

Most stations have a computer system that requires manually triggering the mapping or ticker. This is something every weather team has fought against but is a byproduct of the supplier of all the weather systems. Unfortunately until something large happens and nothing is triggered it won't change h...

Re: Mock Draft Radio

Any discussion on any draft other than the position of the draftees is utterly and completely awful listening experience. It is like a bunch of 7-Eleven counter workers discussing cars at a bar in the 1970s'. "Yeah, that one has a four barrel carb stock with aspirated fluegenatar and an enhanced cou...

Re: WOMC HD WYCD HD

How many times do broadcasters need to learn the lesson that modulation standards backed by licensed technology fail adoption? C-QAM Kahn FM-X …and now this? Surprise, now the auto manufacturers are yanking AM from their radios. These people at C level positions in broadcasting are not too bright.

Re: Bally Sports has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

If I were major league sports team management, I'd be shitting myself on how I'm going to make player payroll.

The pay TV gravy train is over, and I don't think each league will be able to command $30 per month for streaming.
