Re: More layoffs at 9&10 News

You don't really need to find out what's goin' on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry

At noon, they said nothing about the Facebook / Instagram outage. Solid reporting right there.

Re: Nowhere to be found

Where I live, the stations' MO seems to be to just run the same story as if new for 3-4 days, and let the weather liars ramble on about nothing for 5-10 mins per segment, so that the "filler quota" is met. But that's on weekdays, when crew is at full strength. Weekends and holidays are met with lowe...

Re: General Motors orders stop sales on GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado due to shitty Infotainment OS

Agreed on the 3 JINO models listed - an embarrassment to the brand. I’m not sure that it is still the case since the latest gen of GC, but under the skin, the Durango shared quite a bit with the platform of at least the previous gen (2014-2020) GC. The 2011-2024 version was sharing the GC chassis. ...

Re: General Motors orders stop sales on GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado due to shitty Infotainment OS

I have U Connect in my Grand Cherokee, also in the Charger I traded. It is the best system on the market. Works every time. Android Auto connects smooth, voice commands work fine. Take calls and it reads texts to me and allows me to answer with voice. Never had an issue. UConnect and Jeep are the o...

Is FRS a real thing? Is there a practical use for it, or is it just a plaything for kids?
What is it?
No way.

Slow news day. No major meth busts in Caddy to report.

If it prevents ANY report by that CNN puker Jenn Sullivan, the (in)action gets my vote.

Re: Byron Allen, about to ruin another company...

Let's hope not. Allen somehow got his lame "syndicated" 2006-2014 retreads of "Comics Unleashed" inserted as filler after Colbert when the CBS Late Late Show w/Corbet crumbled under its own overpriced weight. (The aquarium was the CU star, BTW). The Colbert-produced replacement, " @ fter m idnight",...

Re: Bow your heads over the death of STIRR

When you feature your station as 'live and local' during newscasts like STIRR did in NW lower MI, but attempting to watch it never works (Whose Line Is It Anyway or CSI:Miami always seemed to displace it) just proves that the owner doesn't care and/or is asleep at the wheel. Removing that owner is n...

What about selling off Fox 32? According to the following article (about a year old now), Heritage doesn't own Local 32...
