Garage Sale Mystery Gate

Lori Loughlin has been indicted for bribing college officials in return for the admission of her daughter to a prestigious university. One big disappointing result is that "Garage Sale Mysteries" may be a casualty of this, one that the previously squeaky clean Hallmark Channel would be badly damaged...

To Understand The Demographics Of Formats And Politics, Start Here

I'm still digesting this. It will help explain, I hope, both intrergenerational Radio Formats and the Politics of the Listeners to those formats. I think a lot of us were taken aback, for instance, by the promoters of WLLZ 106.7, who are calling their format Classic Rock. I don't think even media bu...

Re: WNIC drops Michael Jackson

How about Benny Mardones 😆 “Into The Night” You know she was just sixteen years old and they said leave her alone. Looks illegal to me. What do you 🤔 think. Some states allow or used to allow marriage at 16 so maybe that provides a loophole. Otherwise, i thought it was wierd, too, that those lyrics...

Re: WNIC drops Michael Jackson

You have to wonder how they kept his voice from changing, and that's when this phase started. That kid was likely abused medically. Hormones do things, thats why they give them to transgenders. But it should not affect the J5 stuff, not that anyone other than 70s on 7 is playing it. And he seemed co...

Re: THE HILLS ARE ALIVE IN PORT HURON

As I recall, WLTO was owned by Howard Binkow of the General Television Network. I forget what the corporate name was. And its in the lost database years to look it up easily, betweeen the History Cards and the Full Computer Records. A picture of Howard Binkow from 1952 when he was a U. of M. student...

Re: Michael Cohen hearing on CBS, ABC, and NBC

As a CBS O & O, WWJ-TV would have the rights to Hogan's Heroes reruns. Put them on now. They would have higher ratings than Cohen.

Cohen could say "I know nothing" like Schultz and have higher ratings.

Was Cohen lying then or is he lying now? That is the Bill Shakespeare question.

Re: Michael Cohen On The Telephone

If Trump were REALLY colluding with Vladimir Putin, Michael Cohen would have already met the fate of Alexander Litvinenko. And its pretty obvious who leaked the Hillary emails. Hint. He didn't live to narc out the HRC people. He was gone like Litvinenko. Lead poisoning as I recall. And as they say, ...

Re: Michael Cohen hearing on CBS, ABC, and NBC

This is why the ABC CBS NBC networks are increasingly irrelevant. And why their business model is faltering. Remember that WTAC-TV 16 in Flint went out of business in 1953-1954 because no one could get the channel, and because no one wanted o buy time on a station that was airing the McCarthy Hearin...

Re: Day & Night at WDTW (AM)

I remember when those Carl Smith CIE cards and flyers used to fly out of every magazine oriented toward men, and in the mail too. Reminds me of the Hogwarts flyers in the Harry Potter movie.

Re: Ketamine for Depression

You might want to try Vitamin D3, 1000-5000 IU daily. It will cure SAD in a large percentage of cases. Why risk the "Special K" before trying something simple and OTC?

Re: What If WION did a DX Test and Nobody Came?

One of our posters thinks IPM in this case means Incidental Phase Modulation. Sounds logical to me. You don't want incidental phase modulation complicating the phase modulation of the C-QUAM. Sounds like they want WION to sound good with Music. They also said they had an asymmetry in the sidebands.

Re: What If WION did a DX Test and Nobody Came?

What is IPM reduction?

Sounds like they are flattening an widening the frequency response curve. I assume that a 4 dB slant means that the sidebands are asymmetric. They say the C-QUAM generator can correct this somewhat but not that well. That's my interpretation of their comments FWIW.

Re: Timothy Alan Dick, Harry Rodger Webb Callsigns, Funny Physics

Purtan did occasionally do some salty humor. Maybe CK-722 wanted to leave him out of the discussion because Dick's wife passed recently after a long battle with cancer. That was a funny joke about his relative contribution to his daughters' births. And his analysis is more consistent with human phys...
