Bally RSN is not going away, and it will be an 'incremental cost' for Amazon Prime subscribers.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through March 16 at 11:00a ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Right to work ends Tuesday (13th)
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 ...

Re: The Ongoing Ottawa County Shitshow
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.

Re: Gen Z ignoring hack Dave Ramsey
I saw this in the WSJ. Debt is slavery plain and simple, and few young people are taught this. Because humans don't do well in the elements, carrying a mortgage is often unavoidable for first time buyers. There was a great article also in the WSJ about cutting your expenses by carrying large bills. ...

Re: WOOD TV goes dark during middle of Lions game
As long as WOOD stays on the 'right side of history' all will be forgiven by cable providers and advertisers. I recorded the game on YouTube and was convinced it was a Google issue from high bandwidth. There was no message on the screen from WOOD.

Re: DeSantis drops out
While I oppose abortion, DeSantis moving from a 20 week ban to a six week one will keep him out as a VP option. The Democrats will keep pushing the abortion issue because it works. DeSantis will cost Trump votes. Hawley would be a better name recognition choice.

Re: Guaranteed Income Starts in Flint
I would rather see money go to the poor than antisemitic ivy league endowments. I would rather see parents get the option of collecting the public school money directly with a required annual test to prove proficiency. A mother of three would get around $18k which is a measley sum to a professional ...

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week
OTA production quality is lackluster. Bally keeping Detroit teams is preferred because of the current strength of the game production quality. Maybe the intermission studios are amateur, but only the diehards are watching those along with the pre/post game. I will take a Bally Redwings game even ove...

Re: Audacy officially files for Chapter 11 reorganization
On a kinda related note, Salem Media is about to get delisted for a low stock price. The Conservative/Evangelical company will need ad spending in an election year to keep it afloat. They continue to sell off pieces of the company while praying for a recovery.

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week
Per the Wall Street Journal: Amazon is looking to bring Diamond Sports into its Prime offerings. I was surprised to see the Red Wings/Flyers game a couple of nights ago was 'Presented by Amazon' so some money has already gone to Diamond. Also per WSJ Amazon owns a stake in the YES network in New Yor...

Re: Christmas Is Here
People complain about low rating stations that do nothing to improve their ratings, then they complain about stations that change to improve their ratings! In a literal sense, Advent comes before Christmas and no artist makes an Advent album. Instead all these artists (William Shatner - not Christia...

Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk
Bally just updated their app and so far it is leaps and bounds better than before. For me that has always been the weakest aspect of Bally.
Considering how shockingly fast the PAC collapsed, paying for sports isn't going away. If I were the WAC though, I would try to buy the name.
