Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
Bally's is supposed to start a streaming relationship with Amazon Prime this autumn. I doubt Amazon Prime wants to complete with free OTA telecasts, but the teams themselves might find the wide exposure offered by OTA broadcast availability alluring. I'd love to see more games on channel 20, persona...

Yup. They were designed to be light hearted and humorous, generally speaking. I enjoyed that feature.

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
I never, ever remember WDIV carrying Pistons games (aside from those carried as part of NBA on NBC network coverage in the 90s). WKBD and then WMYD (WDWB) were the Pistons Television Network flagships before FS Detroit purchased rights to all telecasts (after previously having only partial rights). ...

Re: March PPM's
WJLB simply does a better job serving the hip-hop and R&B audience than 107.5. 107.5 is basically a half-assed version of WJLB. No one listens to The Morning Hustle locally (a syndicated morning show from Urban One), and 107.5 in evenings airs a syndicated show from Atlanta. 107.5 seems to play a l...

Re: ThisTV now coming to Ch 12.7
This TV is complete garbage. Trust me, there is zero programming worth viewing. WDIV 4.2 continues to carry it for reasons that escape me.
Example: reruns of the "Highway from Hell" tow truck series and "Weather Gone Viral" series, each from The Weather Channel, air weeknights in primetime.

Yup. Buick City in Flint being a prime example. Portions of it have been redeveloped already (Lear has a plant there), but plenty remains available for re-use.

Any folks from EGR who shop at Meijer are much more likely to shop at the Knapps Corner or Cascade stores.
A lot of the inner city crowd shops at 28th and Kalamazoo.

Re: Nexstar's CWNetwork looking for a new detroit home as Scripps pulls affiliation from its stations
The "local sports" reference is interesting. We saw some Pistons and Wings games air on 20 this month. I wonder if more of that is in store for this autumn? There has to be something inherently wrong with how CW approaches affiliation. Losing multiple major station groups as affiliation partners is ...

Re: Worn becomes Warren again after electing first female mayor!
Prediction: Hizzoner (Fouts) files to run for Stone's vacant State House seat. My prediction was almost accurate! Fouts indeed is running for the State House, albeit in a different district than the one I thought: https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/19/ex-warren-mayor-jim-fo...

Oakland County GOP is in disarray (what else is new?)
No one seems to know who their candidate is for the Oakland County Executive race now that Brooks' daughter, Mary, has dropped out of the race.

Re: The MEDC needs to be disbanded
You are certainly correct that a risk exists that the environmental consultants will miss issues (recognized environmental conditions) during phase I and phase II assessments that could bite a property owner in the ass later. I suspect the number of borings performed and soil samples collected on a ...

A properly prepared Baseline Environmental Assessment could shield a successor owner from liability associated with preexisting environmental hazards. There are shopping centers, ski hills and even subdivisions built on former landfill sites. I believe the LG Chem battery plant in Holland was built ...

You are absolutely right; I forgot that there was a story from Bill Freeman. I remember the "Freeman File" on News 8 in the late 80s.

Re: Tesla strikes again
I completely agree Ford is a total disaster right now. No argument from me.
The Bronco is truly awful (and I'm no fan of its little sibling, the Bronco Sport, either).
