Re: Channel 7 provides fake traffic detour to avoid WB M-59 accident

Does no one at 7 know how to use Google maps? To avoid a westbound M-59 accident near Dequindre, channel 7 advised exiting at Mound Rd, using "Dorby Rd" to head west (it is actually Dobry Rd), and then rejoining westbound M-59 at John R Rd. This advice was dispensed at about 6:02 this morning. Neve...

Re: FM Tower Toppled for $100 in Copper . . .

It's true that it's a Federal offense, but prosecutors are usually too lazy to file the charges. Too much paperwork involved. That's government for you.

Re: The Late Great Paul Christy

I remember he owned WCFX 99.5 and WCRM 990 in Mount Pleasant in the 80's. Paul actually had the WABX calls parked on 990, while he and some partners owned WCFX. Before that, it was WRNN "Rock 99" and before that, WCRM. Long before Paul's ownership, I believe the place burned to the ground, not once...

The original ABC FM AOR stations were:

WDVE
WPLJ
KLOS
KSFX

Not sure if all used the Rock-n-stereo handle.

You have quite the imagination. Give the tabloids a rest. Since we think this is likely Audiophile, he's probably getting his concerns directly from his warped Evangelistic view's of God.

Re: WWJ - AccuWeather's Carl Babinski, R.I.P

Oh no! :cry: I sometimes twist the dial across the AM band late at night. Always found it amusing to hear Carl Babinski on WWJ, then on WBBM, WINS, WBZ, KYW and a few others, giving those local markets' forecasts within a few minutes of each other. Always opened with "Early on this __day morning......

Re: People Just Don't Like Piling On

That is a big factor in Trump's support. Dumb motherfuckers love him, and everyone who supports him is one. I couldn't agree more! Apparently, the same is true for Georgie Bush. He was at a library dedication ceremony, and when asked by a reporter "What's your favorite book?" he replied, "Oh, I don...

Re: People Just Don't Like Piling On

If I learned anything from PE, before a football was thrown at my head, caused a concussion, and I transferred into a school that exempted me from PE with another physical activity, I learned that people don't like piling on, in football, politics, the workplace, message boards, and anything else. ...

Re: 2024 Primary Results Thread

I'll get flamed for saying this. But I see Trump's logic in sitting out the debates as long as he's so far ahead in the polls. Why take a chance of putting his foot in his mouth? Because he won't. Look at how he's worshipped and defended on this board alone. There's a lot more around the country. F...

Re: Ron Cameron

With Ron living like a gypsy, in one motel after another, I wonder, did he have to jettison all of the sports memorabilia he accumulated over the years, or does he have it in a storage unit somewhere? Imagine, having to live in some roadside flea circus motel at Ron's age...and being a man of his st...

Re: Feds to ban funny state-owned road signs

MAGAts are too dumb to realize they're driving in the ditch... Trump voters are stupid? Great! Then I guess you would be all in favor of requiring voters to pass a rudimentary civics exam prior to casting their ballot? Absolutely... his vote total would easily decrease. Joe Biden would never pass.....

Over 1,100 pages in this piece of useless legislation. Just goes to show you what a bunch of humorless, unsmiling, negative nancies we have in charge.
