Re: New 11 AM Newscast on WILX beginning Sept. 6th

So they moved the Noon news to 11am Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Yup. Doesn’t compete with 6 (or 47) and will make broadcast available for immediate playback for those who want to watch the news during their lunch on phones/computers. Justin Bradford (3 days) and Darrin Rockcole (2 days) wi...

Re: Darrin Rockcole is Back on WILX

IMO -WILX should have kept Caleb Meute instead of bringing back DR ...... Caleb was good with his delivery and has many years ahead of him. In hindsight they could have. With the upcoming (August 30) return of Emily Wahls Caleb was told his position was being reduced from full-time. He quit and Dar...

Re: Darrin Rockcole is Back on WILX

Interesting…so beginning August 30th Emily Wahls will take over mornings (confirmed by Darrin Rockcole), Justin Bradford will apparently be splitting weekends with Rockcole, and Andy Pro remain in the evenings. Darrin on his Facebook page says he will be doing some weekend slots and will be involved...

Re: Darrin Rockcole

New ad says without saying that WILX chief meteorologist Emily Wahls will begin on the air at WILX on August 30th after her one year of non-compete ends. I assume she will take over mornings.

Re: Congrats Fred Heumann!

WILX is greatly increasing their sports coverage beginning in August. Uncle Fred will be anchoring Tuesday-Friday at 11. Buddy will be anchoring Saturday-Monday and also co-anchoring the Friday night high school football Sports Blitz. Kerwin will be a full-time sports reporter (she has been shared w...

There is a pic on his Facebook page (Kyle Gillett). Since you can’t see his pants it almost looks normal.

Yes, I saw that also earlier in the day. New young weekend guy…I chalk it up to youthful inexperience.

Re: WILX Mornings

Is Mallory Anderson solo again on WILX mornings? I know Lansing is a revolving door of talent, but this was a super quick one (like a handful of weeks). WILX introduced Amicia Ramsey as a morning co-anchor with Mallory on May 11, but today I noticed she was gone from the WILX website. She hasn't po...

Re: FCC repack

So there is a station on RF 28 only 2 years after CMU sold off WCMZ/WFUM on RF 28 in Flint in the spectrum auction. What else is the RF 28 spectrum in Flint being used for since it was sold off? The channel is used by WSYM Lansing and WLPC Redford. Nothing else is there in this area at this time. S...

Will be nice to see him return…to a station that forced him into an early retirement last year.

Re: Claire Cameron leaving WILX

We watch her when in the Lansing area. She was very good on air and we will miss her. Wonder where she will pop up next? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk It doesn’t look like TV will be in her future. Her husband is a physicist (being near the FRIB at MSU is likely to be highly desired) and she...

That's too bad. I liked her. Will Emily Wahls be replacing her? I hope so.

She posted on Facebook that tomorrow is her last day, leaving the tv world for now.
Yes, expect Emily Wahls to make an appearance soon…

Re: Fox 17 Meteorologist Eric Kostrzewa Leaving Station

Probably going back to Lansing to do weekdays at sister station Fox 47. Not likely…47 Is the station almost no one watches. They have some interesting local features, but no breaking news as everything is prerecorded video. If you want news or more than a radio style weather report you watch 6 or 1...
