Michigan Radio & TV Buzzboard

I like a landline for Doctor/Banking calls. I want the clarity in the connection, still worth the extra expense considering so many goodies are now lumped in when you get the line through broadband.

The Tigers might have to go to MLB Network since the contract was voided, it may not be a Detroit decision anymore. The league hates Diamond Sports. The Red Wings will probably be in flux until the last minute. CHSN has been such a disaster, Detroit could launch their own channel but getting a ...

Wouldn't you know it. After complaining about how bad the Bally App was last hockey season, I finally get a Red Wings game on Disney and in addition to lower ESPN+ production quality...

With Illitch owning both, my pipe dream is him starting his own network like the Yankees, renaming it PASS with those old school fat logo microphones (which always worked great for isolating noise), fat logoed polyester blazers and charging a low enough rate to make cable and streaming carry it ...

They can always do a 10 for one like Sirius just did. One of Berkshire's insiders sold a bunch of their stock after Buffet loaded up on XM. It will be interesting if XM can avoid subscriber loss, having a deal in place with the major news and sports networks makes it a cheaper alternative to cable ...

MSU and UofM have both recently paid large tax dollar supported settlements for abuse allegations. No one from their hierarchy has been charged. MSU was not very forthcoming initially, UofM was only marginally better. Like any religion in America, the Catholic Church is either the truth or it is ...

If the game isn't sold out, should it be free to the local market? Unlike the old days, when an old barn or stadium would charmingly suffice, it is now a privilege to have a major league team. Detroit is ultra privileged to have four major teams, and aside from local media there doesn't seem to be ...

I hate a manager change mid-season, but there is no excuse for this team. I am ok losing a series to Cleveland, and the Twin's series doesn't look as bad with there recent run. But Miami should have been a sweep like Chicago.

It is still savable, but barely at this point.

I am no bankruptcy expert but the bondholders seem fine getting dimes on the dollar so a hedge fund will control it out of bankruptcy. My guess would be they think it is cheaper then having a law firm sell it piecemeal.

Soros finds value in radio! I was looking at buying Townsquare stock for the dividend, but when they cut it the value will drop to Beasley levels. Then I looked at loading up on Beasley, but seeing how cheaply the Audacy bondholders are being bought off I thought better of it. Warren Buffet is ...

It's a county with exploding property values but mediocre wage growth. A lot of voters feel out of place in their own community. Other Michigan counties have the same problem. California had both exploding property values and exploding wage growth, but outside of metro Detroit, Michigan is missing ...

State by state, the majority of voters want legal abortion and euthanasia. It will be interesting if it can make the Constitution in Florida with a 60% pass mandate. Ohio tried to change that to restrict abortion access in '22, which didn't work either. Legal IVF is now on the Republican platform so ...

Bally RSN is not going away, and it will be an 'incremental cost' for Amazon Prime subscribers.

Without a pension, unions are not that desirable. And really, raising the 401k/403b match to 12% from the traditional 5% would match the S&P 500 lifetime average, a better benefit than anything else for most employees. Not sure what the rules are on offering a match, I know the cap for employees is ...

Local politicians don't really matter much in the giant scheme of things. They used to help sell newspapers but since those are going away they are mostly fading into oblivion.
