WTGV Sandusky during Tigers games

No TOH legal IDs (noticed this in all three games of the Blue Jays weekend series and again tonight, Monday). Tonight vs. Yankees: weather forecast ("Judy Coy in the WTGV weather center ... ") playing every 15 mins or so, on top of the game. One Saturday during spring training: no game at all, just ...

Re: Channel 4 in the pre-WDIV days

I remember their legal ID, ""WWJ-TV, The Detroit News," from when I became aware of who owned the local radio and TV stations. And that, in each hour's Detroit News daily TV listings, and in the Sunday TV supplement, 4 always came first, followed by 2 and 7, then Toledo and the UHFs.

Re: Misheard Song Lyrics

The Pretenders "Brass In Pocket:" " ... gonna use my fingers . . . gonna use my, my, my, vagination ... " "I've been driving, deeper leaning . . .

"Seventh Son:" "Heal the sick, raise the dead, and make a little dust talk out of their head ...

Herman's Hermits, "Must To Avoid:"

"She's a must to a boy ..... "

And I remember hearing Dick Biondi on WCFL mention the same incorrect lyric and quote the correct one. So many others no doubt heard the same thing.

"Penny Lane" again:

Re: Lone Ranger on WXYZ-AM

Without the Wyxie book in front of me: I remember that they moved from the Maccabees Bldg to the big house at Jefferson and Iroquois in 1944. The last Rangers were recorded there (" ... the Lone Ranger comes to you transcribed from Detroit ... ") and the last original show aired in November 1954. Re...

Re: Misheard Song Lyrics

From "Penny Lane;"

"And the banker never wears a mask, in the pouring rain . . . " (The correct lyric is "mac," short for "mackinaw," the UK term for a light-weight raincoat.)

Re: CHYR Radio 7 Canada

CHYR / CHIR was at one time owned by Sun Parlour Broadcasting. In the daytime they were very listenable all the way to Port Austin. At night, with Blue Jays games, very DX when I lived in Flint. At pattern / freq adjustment time day to night during Jays games I heard everything that could go wrong h...

Re: CFCO 630 in late 60’s

Heard as recently as the summer of 2017, on CKNX that had the Blue Jays mid-week day games that CHOK didn't air: the game broadcast joined in progress at approx 12:50 PM after the obituary and funeral notices.

Re: am 1250 Saginaw

I was in Flint yesterday and heard sports talk on 1250, too strong to be any out of town station, no breaks / promos / liners. What station could this be? (Could hear WNEM-AM in Lakeport on a GE SuperRadio II when it was all news, and Ave Maria Radio. Now this freq is quiet in the daytime here.)

I always have wondered who this "Reverend Bluejeans" character Neil Diamond was singing about.
Yes. I was about to submit that one. Many misheard lyrics end up sounding just as good as or better than the actual lyrics.
