Re: Slogans not matching stations
In early 2010s, Tampa Bay's "Play 98.7" carried a Top 40 format, with a slogan of something like "Today's Hits, Without The Rap". Around 2012, shortly before switching to an all-sports format, they still used this slogan, but one time, immediately after a liner said "Today's Hits, Without The Rap" -...

Re: Antenna TV gone?
As for Judge shows during the day, gay content on them would also be a sin, since SCOTUS includes "alternative lifestyles" and LGBTQAI programming is part of the norm. That, plus the "fact" that only God can judge, and WLMB does not want any mortal judges (other than His "representatives", a.k.a "t...

Re: Free Press & News putting up paywall on Aug 12
All the MLive print editions are going to Cleveland for printing. They will close the press in Grand Rapids in October. Depending on where you live, your paper will be five or six hours old by the time you receive it. Or more -- depending on how long it would take to travel on the Turnpike. This wi...

Re: Misheard Song Lyrics
Elvis' "Suspicious Minds":
Elvis:
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see the tears are real, I'm crying
Backup:
Yes, I'm crying
The backup's response I always heard as "It's a crime".

Re: More bad financial decisions by Sinclair
New report says 25-66 owner Sinclair Broadcasting will lose about $130-million this year just in its regional sports channels (Fox Sports Detroit and others). Let me get this straight: you are AGAIN bitching about your employer; this time because they didn't anticipate covid??? I imagine all sector...

Re: "30 Rock: A one-time special"
I'm a fan of 30 Rock and have the set on DVD. I'm not understanding why NBC affiliates are refusing to air the special. The big owners thought since this special was to promote Peacock, it was going to cut into their profits. As the entire "commercial free" hour was designed to promote Peacock, the...

Re: 30 Rock Special preempted
Ironically, despite being what started this thread, WEYI ended up airing it at it's normal time. -WPBN/WTOM (Sinclair, Traverse City/Alpena) and WNWO (Sinclair, Toledo) aired two additional reruns of Family Feud. So apparently, WEYI was the only NBC affiliate in Michigan to show the special as sche...

At that price, why not buy one of the stations outright?

Re: 1130 "The Fan" to disappear- iHeart launching new network
On a side note, quite a few that will be flipping are sports stations -- I wonder if the lack of sports action during the coronavirus crisis is part of the reason for the switch?

Re: The Ghost Of Bill Kennedy
I'm not sure who made this decision but I applaud it. The weekend movies are satellite-delivered from syndication services, so you will never know who programs the feeds. Nobody local, for sure, It's either those, or infomercials. And I rather watch an old movie than watching the same old colon blo...

Isn't WINK-FM on 96.9? Used to listen to them everyday from the Tampa Bay area until new local stations and LPFMs crowded them out.80sTalkRadioFan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 9:55 pmLove those rare "skip" days. I remember getting WINK 96.5 fm, which is in Ft. Myers Florida, from Sylvania Ohio.
