Re: Minneapolis
One can bypass Chicago itself (though not northwest Indiana and the south suburbs which can also have bad traffic) by taking I-80 to I-39 and 39 up to 90, which then runs back into 94 in Wisconsin. Longer route but 39 is a much more relaxing drive than the Tri-State or the Dan Ryan/Kennedy/Edens co...

Re: WDIV new set
And it's positioned sideways to boot! Yeah, no thanks.
The setup 62 uses, after some tweaks that took time to implement, works well. (Initially, I was not a fan.)
These massive videos walls - when used to present the news or weather - do not look good at all and is a trend that needs to die.

Re: WDIV new set
Saw some weathercasts on 4 this morning. The graphics on that diagonally positioned monitor look truly AWFUL! There is a ton of light glare, and the color contrast and sharpness of the weather maps is totally piss poor. Do directors / producers / whomever not think this shit through before going to ...

Re: Greetings From Dayton OH.
Dayton, OH is stuck in the late 1980s, so that all makes sense.

Re: WDIV new set
Yeah, the straight-on anchor shot this morning did not look very good (the angle was weird and the backdrop far too bright), and I agree that the new desk is a downgrade from the old one.

Re: Stupid Trump endorses Florida resident for Michigan Senate
You are indeed correct. The residency requirement only applies at time of election. There is no state residency requirement that applies during the actual term of office.

Perhaps Perry Sook is delusional. Has he seen his network's ratings? I think his negotiating leverage is less than he realizes.

Re: WDIV new set
Looks a lot like the old one based on what I saw this morning. A ton of bright blue, bright silver and spansive video walls.

He is capable of doing some very good stuff, but I agree that the promos featuring his "happy" voice are creepy.

Re: March PPM's
98.7 plays none of the CanCon 89X played, plays no Eminem, has zero street presence, and plays the same number of currents and recurrents hourly as most Alternative reporters in the PPM markets. Is the formula working right now? Absolutely. 98.7 still plays currents. About two or three an hour. The ...

Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?
I see 7 has quietly stopped broadcasting its weekend morning news from its fish bowl like studio inside the Chase Bank building in downtown Detroit. I will miss the absurdly giddy Brian Lee voiceover plugging the fact the newscast originates from downtown (where viewers could see deserted streets th...

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
Exactly. It's bizarre that 7 is carried but 20 is not. Scripps bought channel 20 maybe eight years ago?

WMYD is not carried by any of the big three streaming services: YouTube TV, Hulu, and DirecTV Stream.
WKBD is found on all three.
Mike Murri or some flunky Scripps corporate SVP needs to get off their ass and find a way to improve distribution of WMYD.
