Re: Fictional Radio Stations on TV
KXKVI from "The Outer Limits" pilot episode "Galaxy Being." My favorite! :D :hat The grainy black & white exterior shots of the station and tower were downright eerie. I'm trying to remember the station calls of the short-lived sitcom from the late '60s Good Morning World . Of course, there was KOR...

Re: Ferris State
When Wayne State met the Pittsburg State Gorillas (Kansas) a few years ago for the same Division II Championship, I was flummoxed as to why it received so little coverage or promotion on Detroit area media. I'll be watching the Bulldogs this afternoon!
It's on ESPNU at 4:00pm.

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune
To Mr. Metalhead's point about shareholder approval, I've already read about three separate law firms investigating "whether the Board of Tribune breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Nexs...

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune
I wonder what will happen to WGN-AM. Does Nexstar have any radio properties? Roughly how much cash would accrue to Nexstar through any required asset sales? I don't know about WGN-AM or if Nexstar has any other radio properties (I don't believe it does), but I just read an opinion piece that the st...

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune
I'm too lazy to look up the maturities of Tribunes and Nexstar's existing debt.... According to Value Line, as of 6/30/18 Nexstar had a total debt of $4.2876 billion with $4.2459 billion of long-term debt and $1.2 billion due in five years . These figures might have changed materially in the third ...

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune
Standard & Poors is well aware of the increased debt burden of Nexstar post-acquisition, but is apparently optimistic enough in its future prospects to keep its debt rating unchanged at BB- (Non-investment grade speculative) despite being on the cusp of a downgrade in the near-term. Investors obviou...

Re: Just how bad are the Lions?
I couldn't believe what happened just before the half ended. We had the ball with over two minutes left, plenty of time to get in position for a field goal just before halftime. What happens? We go a quick three-and-out, give up the ball, and the Rams get the half-ending field goal! :rolleyes Unbeli...

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune
I've read the reported price of $4.1 billion for Tribune is an all-cash deal and that Nexstar has lined up bank financing. The amount is more than Nexstar's current market cap of $3.7 billion! Nexstar also currently has about $4.1 billion of long-term debt on its books which represents more than two...

Re: "Medical Grade Brace" Telephone Scam
Thank you both for confirming what I've always suspected. Still, these calls are coming incessantly during the day in spite of my defensive actions, and yes, they're leaving recorded messages on my voicemail. :horns Perhaps someone in the household including myself answered inadvertently at one time...

"Medical Grade Brace" Telephone Scam
I'm pestered daily by these calls, usually a recorded message telling me I'm eligible for a medical grade brace to alleviate my knee or back pain that's fully paid for by my insurance. I realize this is a scam phishing for my personal insurance information, but what I want to know is if I "press 2 t...

Re: Radio And the year you Graduated.
Like a couple people here I graduated high school in '73. It taxes my memory thinking that far back, but I recall my radio listening gravitating to WABX, WRIF, CJOM, and WDET. That latter entry introduced me to modern jazz, the avant-garde, and reinvigorated my love of classical.

Re: Where Is Bill Vogel These Days?
Goodness, he's lost a bit of weight since last I saw him! I doubt I'd recognize him on the street. Glad to see he's still in business. Thanks, Kager.
