Until recently, Xfinity subscribers had Peacock Premium (which Comcast owns) available at no extra charge. I didn't then (or now) find any of its content compelling enough to view when it was free, and then zero desire to pay for it. Also, the Peacock app on the Xfinity X1 box was (might still be) a...

There's also ESPN 850 Cleveland (I can't bring myself to call it WKNR ).
Signal across the lake is sketchy though, sometimes good often not.

I looked at the NBC News Now app and other streaming sites. They were not live streaming the 6:30pm NBC Nightly news program. CBET/CBC at that time was not running news of any kind. My "on demand" demand was to be able to watch the newscast as it was being originated. NBC affiliate Local4 chose not ...

Is there a single best location to find the list of digital TV signals, sub-channels of the main over-the-air TV signals in West Michigan? (Such as 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, etc.), I believe almost all the major over-the-air TV channels have these sub-channels, many of which are not picked up by area cable...

I bet it's available online in perpetuity.... Still though... thats a hell of a screw up.....

Yeah, but I wanted to watch the 6:30 network newscast at, well, 6;30.
Ended up watching BBC News which was starting at 7:00p.

WDIV, despite onset of a new middle east war, decides to not air the 6:30p NBC Nightly on 4.1, putting it up, as last weekend, on MeTV 4.3, and airs Local4's local sports show on the "main" channel. At 6:30 on MeTV, an NBC countdown pops in, with the program guide indicating NBC Nightly, and the new...

I think we're still several years away from over the air satellite service from being discontinued. I cannot picture them leaving in-dash listeners at the side of the road. Some sort of USB dongle will probably be developed to permit continued use of in-dash tuners. I could see them continuing dire...

Bits and pieces I heard on the police scanner… your trusted source for information in your neighborhood… on your block around the clock. Haven't most cities gone encrypted digital and you can't listen to them anymore? I also assumed that this is why scanner radio sales fell drastically. Sales fell ...

From Cord Cutters News:
SiriusXM might merge with Liberty Media

I believe you are correct about last night's episode being a rerun. "Wheel" is into its new season. Jeopardy is new shows, for next few weeks is a "Second Chance" tournament of former contestants, using clues "recycled" from long-past shows, not newly-WGA-written ones. The show that Loco4 cut off i...

Thanks, WDIV.

Loco4 announced on-air and in the xfinity guide that Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy would be seen on 4.3 MeTV, while 4.1 carries the Auto Show Charity Preview. I and many others could not give a sh*t about the Auto Show silliness. In fact, the usual MASH episode is running on MeTV, and not Wheel, as ...

WLLZ (real) antenna was located on the Cass corridor back in the 80's.
An interesting location to visit at night.

I remember WLLZ being on Lyndon, having taken over the original WBFG transmitter site. Where would it have been in the corridor?

Watching the Lions/Chiefs game (yay Lions!!). Noticed that the game on my kitchen OTA set was way ahead of what I was seeing from WDIV on the Xfinity box in the TV room. Timed the latency between OTA broadcast and cable at 43 seconds! I think in recent past the Comcast delay of WDIV has been just 7-...

Electronic Connection will be going out of business; Rose and Bernie are retiring,
They're shooting for the end of September or so to close.
