Re: March PPM's
Ok, I see your point about 98.7 not really being that much like 89X, MW. That's all true. I checked out that 107.3 Cleveland playlist and... wow, that's really interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a station quite like that. I might check that out. (We've established that I'm bad at comparisons,...

Even better, then. Yeah, I'd believe that. He seems pretty good at his job.

I guess this is the way things are going. Makes me think of a miniature CNN or something, weirdly enough.

Re: Channel 7 (WXYZ) rebranding next Monday?
This SUCKS. I mean, do I have an impression of the new brand? Not really. That's kind of the thing, it's a nothing burger. I don't know how anyone would have much impression, good or bad. But I'm mad! Action News goes back to the 70s!! I think a lot about how downright WEIRD it is they were still us...

Re: Detroit Public TV moving, current home sold
Be thankful the Foundation did not take the example from Ann Arbor and change itself to "Detroit Public." :D Right? I still hate "Michigan Public." Michigan Public WHAT?? Your ear just hears something missing. I completely buy the reasoning that they should de-emphasize the words "radio" and "TV" n...

Re: March PPM's
I agree that I'm really, really surprised at how incredibly well Alt 98.7 is doing, for them. I mean, I doubt anyone could have imagined a better result for that station in this market. You know what they're doing? And this is significant, in my mind. Playing almost entirely throwbacks. It's essenti...

Re: Tim Pamplin
I always liked the guy. He does a bit, which is clearly engineered for ratings. Like, he must have come to them all those years ago with the whole pitch of, "look, this is what I do. You don't see my face, ever. It adds intrigue and action, and I'm cheaper because I'm my own camera! And who can resi...

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
I agree it's bizarre that YouTube TV doesn't carry 20. I think what happened is that YTTV originally WAS a pretty fledgling "cable" service before they found themselves somewhat quickly becoming THE "cable" service (I believe they now have more national subs than Comcast.) They never bothered (nor d...

Re: Airplane crash
I was driving with my kids up and then down Michigan Ave in the Canton Twp - Ypsi area near the airport, but we didn't realize anything had happened. A lot of people still assembled trying to watch likely didn't either. That was a surprise to hear. But apparently if you were close to Willow Run airp...

Re: Demond Fernandez joins WDIV-Local 4 News team as anchor, reporter
Don't really watch much local news coverage anymore, but when I watched the fireworks on WDIV they had him on set to do their big welcome thing and honestly, I was impressed. He seemed like he knew what he was doing, and wren I heard WFAA I thought, "oh, he'll be good." Then again, it's possible he ...

Re: 910 am super station breaking news
I think it's safe to say that reporter Steve Neavling is not a big fan of Kevin Adell. He wrote this for the Metro Times about the format flip at 910: https://www.metrotimes.com/news/white-millionaire-abruptly-pulls-plug-on-predominantly-black-talk-radio-station-910am-33875753 But much more damning ...

I would love to know exactly what he said on the air too. I feel like the chances of ever seeing a clip are low, though, since it wasn't on their main broadcast, it was on Local 4+. I mean, was anyone watching? :rollin WWJ has clarified: he yelled at co-workers (off-air) and got briefly taken off th...

Re: NBC Discusses Ending Prime-Time Lineup at 10pm,
It was back in 1998 that CBS channel 62 showed "Late Show With David Letterman" at 11:00 instead of 11:35!! I remember this very well. As a teen Letterman fan in the 90s (I was literally the only one), it was great to get the jump start at 11. 62 must have actually gotten the tape of Letterman's sh...
