Scripps buying ION Media

Scripps with Berkshire as a partner is buying ION Media.

https://ir.scripps.com/static-files/1be ... 364b48babb

They will be divesting the O&O Stations as a group to another buyer who will turn hem into affiliates so WPXD Ann Arbor will be spun off as part of the deal.

Re: Ann Marie LaFlamme out at Ch 7

FWIW LaFlamme on Mojo and the Morning last week said that she has known for two months they were not renewing her contract. When she announced on social media her last day was coming up, then WXYZ told her she was done that day.

Re: The media wants you to panic

Do you think news directors and publishers are sitting at editorial meetings deciding, “How can we panic our readers/listeners/readers today?” Almost anything much bigger than a card game is on hold, all forms of entertainment stopped. Bars and restaurants closed. No organized sports. What should th...

Re: WLLZ isn't going to change, WIDL is where it's at

I checked out WIDL stream, was planning to have it on for a short period of time to sample it, and ended up listening for over three hours straight before I had to turn it off to get other things done. It's a nice mix of classic rock and alternative rock. I heard everything from Jimi Hendrix, to Sto...

Re: WOW FM?

If I can sorta hijack the thread, I thought WDRQ did a much better job on news and talk in 1971. It started with Art Vuolo's historic History of Detroit Radio, they didn't play the games that WOWF did (i.e. REVERRRBBBB) and the rigid clock that stopped for no one when it came during interviews. WDRQ...

Those were popular for a while in the 1990's before internet access become more readily available. I fould this post on another BB https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread....
