Fox daytime programming
I find it crazy that Fox has no weekday programming. It’s been in existence for almost 33 years, and it’s now considered to be on the same level as CBS, ABC, and NBC. If Fox is being conservative, they could have a talk show or a news program on just the O&Os, including WJBK. I think it’s happened b...

WDIV primetime Friday
In place of NBC programming, Loco 4 is airing paid programming, from 8-9pm.
Loco 4 must have bills to pay, to preempt network programming like that.
Typical!!!

Re: Thoughts on WTKA
I do like most of the day is local except Jim Rome. I completely agree about Sam Webb. You can’t criticize Michigan at all. I think he was one who wanted to give Harbaugh a lifetime contract despite the fact he has underachieved. I’m a Michigan fan, and I think Harbaugh needs to go. I think Dave Sh...

Thoughts on WTKA
I think this station is annoying. They have Michigan ass kisser, Sam Webb, who rarely criticizes coaches. Sam liked Brady Hoke. They have that nerd, Ira, who talks too much. In the afternoons, Jamie Morris is annoying. The only good entertainment are some of the callers. Dennis from the OC, JJ, Lind...

Re: Mike Valenti and Juwan Howard
You think the Detroit media gushing over Howard is bad... listen to WTKA Ann Arbor. They pretty much have the championship locked up if you go by them. WTKA is a joke! Sam Webb is nothing but a Michigan ass kisser and Ira is a nerd, who likes to hear himself talk. Bought and paid for, by the Univer...

GI Joe on WDIV. September 1983
https://youtu.be/nu2-IZXl9RM
I had no idea it was on WDIV. I thought it was always on Channel 50. GI Joe must have went to WKBD in 1984.
Does anyone have the show listing of the Detroit stations from 83-84? Saturday morning listings.

Re: Detroit/Toledo Big Three schedule for 12/10/1980
NBC was a crappy network in the early 1980s. It was equivalent to the CW. It’s understandable that WDIV preempted 1-2 hours of NBC programming a day. WDIV was a station trying to rebuild itself, after years of mediocrity. Once NBC made its comeback in the 1984-85 season, WDIV cleared more NBC shows....

Re: Mike Duggan files for divorce
No surprise here. The local stations, which are all Sparty biased, refused to uncover the immoral activities of Tom Izzo and Mark Dantonio, in the MSU sex scandal. They wouldn’t even cover what the former MSU basketball players said, at the trial. This is why Detroit TV is a joke. “Fox 2 News, Worki...

Jason Carr and Fox 2
What happened between those two? Why did Jason Carr leave Fox 2 for WDIV? Was it over money? Fox 2’s morning show hasn’t been the same since he left.

They're actually notorious for being really cheap with their stations. Yet people like Huel and Monica are well taken care of. That’s about all they spend money on... Huel and Monica run the prompters with their feet... You can’t starve the hand that feeds you lol. Besides, the station just upgrade...
