Re: WDIV new set

She looks tiny next to the video wall. This is a trend in newscasting that needs to die.

Re: I predict that Trump will be found not guilty in NY case

I do not like Trump at all (as most of you know), but this criminal case is hogwash. He reported the expense. The case centers around the ledger account / descriptor used to report the $130,000 spent to quash the Stormy Daniels affair story. The prosecution's assertion that the reporting technique s...

Re: Scottie Scheffler arrested for reckless driving and assaulting an officer

The prosecutor's office deserves a harsh rebuke here. Shouldn't it have waited for relevant evidence to be available and reviewed it BEFORE pressing charges? Their statement in court sure sounds much different in tone and in representation of what transpired that morning than the one issued when the...

Re: Apologies for the load time slowness on April 25 & 26

The server issues seem to be back. I will try to resolve these by Friday. Sorry for any inconvenience. My hosting provider is doing some sort of maintenance tonight, per their Facebook page and account management portal site. They claim hosting and server performance will be "unaffected," but I susp...

Re: WDIV new set

Yuck - they went back to using the big video monitor for this evening's weathercasts. I guess Loco 4 thinks crappy color accuracy and blooming are OK. At least the camera angle isn't nearly as awkward as the one previously used (where the friggin' video wall was at nearly a 45 degree angle to the ca...

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

I want to say dream on to that link. Before income taxes we had tariffs, so I think that would be more acceptable to them.
Their policy planks relative to taxation are unreasonable; no argument here. They are a fringe party for good reason.

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

I understand it was 2 out of 19 even thought he was disqualified... RFK Jr, as I understand it, had 1. And Stormy Daniels also had 1 on second round, LOL. Stormy might've earned a larger share of the popular vote this coming election than the person they actually picked! :) As for Trump, his vocife...

Re: WDIV new set

Channel 4 is using the chroma key wall for weather again, at least for the 5p and 6p newscasts. Looks good! :)

Re: Tiger Baseball on TV

It’s been a few weeks since Xfinity pulled the plug on Bally. The chatter seems to have quieted down. Do you think: A) people have moved on with their lives and found something different to occupy the time that used to be spent watching the Tigers? B) people have adapted/purchased the Bally app C) ...

Re: WDIV's Bryan Schuerman is a moron

That's right. DTW's official high was 72 late morning. Some areas in the Metro area only peaked in the late 60s.

No mention in the forecast excerpt I posted of falling temps in the afternoon. As opposed to mid 70s, most areas were in the low to mid 60s.

That extra insulation might be causing him to misjudge how warm it is outside. :)

Re: WDIV's Bryan Schuerman is a moron

It is 63 right now in Romulus. The official TOH observation at DTW was 63 as well.

Temp dropped three degrees between Noon and 2PM at DTW and four degrees at PTK.

We've already reached our high temps for the day.
