Re: Casey Kasem The 80’s
Casey's Top 40, which Casey hosted from January 1989 until the AT40 name was restored in the spring of '98, was a Westwood One show, so it's under a different umbrella from the 1970-88 AT40s. Would still be nice to hear it again though. I grew up listening to CT40's AC sister shows, Casey's Countdo...

Re: Old cable lineups
Also from 1980, here's what the lineup looked like in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, where one of my relatives was born back in the 1930's. Lock Haven is in the Scranton/Wikes-Barre DMA, though barely.

Re: Subchannels
Honestly the only decent thing about TBD is their carriage of Kidsclick, which is Sinclair's attempt to reboot such a cartoon block. Even then, most of what is on there is still crap, with, IMO, the only decent shows in it being the Angry Birds cartoon and that 2010 Pink Panther show.

Re: WTOL NFL game choices
(Disclaimer: I have no dog in this fight, I'm a Packers fan. Although Steelers fans annoy the hell out of me) Last week, the Browns and Lions played separate games that both aired on CBS at 1:00. Although the Browns are having one of the worst seasons in NFL history and the Lions are driving for th...

Re: Old cable lineups
Found something interesting. No clue what the channel order was, but found an application from 1975 from TCI in Cheboygan with these channels listed as channels to be carried: CJICTV WBKBTV WCMLTV WFLD WGN TV WGTU WHMETV WJMNTV WJRTTV WKBDTV WTOMTV WWUPTV Would there have been anything else availab...

Re: WTOL NFL game choices
I also see that Atlantic City didn't make the list for either NY franchise or for Philly. That's because Atlantic City is not it's own DMA at all--it's part of the Philadelphia DMA, plus it's last network station, WMGM, was forced to drop NBC in 2014 due to requests from O&O WCAU. I do agree on how...

Re: Old cable lineups
However, Wyandotte did lose TVO at this time. On a related note, were any Canadian stations other than CBET and TVO ever carried anywhere in SE Michigan? According to the FCC Cable Search, CKCO was once carried in most of Macomb County north of 16 Mile and east of Gratiot and in Port Huron. CFPL wa...

Re: WTOL NFL game choices
Newer posts in this thread were lost in the purge, so I'm again bumping this to describe in detail how this happened. First off, Toledo is a secondary market for only one NFL team--the Lions. This according to this list posted on an archived version of 506sports.com: Arizona: Tucson Atlanta: none Ba...

Re: I 75 Info Needed
If you're coming into the US through the tunnel, simply turn left onto westbound Jefferson, then right onto Griswold, Shelby or Washington Boulevard. These three will bring you three blocks north to Fort Street. Stay on Fort Street until Springwells, then right, then left onto the southbound I-75 on...

Re: 2018 Tropos
There is some activity on the TV bands in Wyandotte tonight. Somehow my TV's WEWS PSIP got erased and the numbers reverting back to 15.3 to 15.6...that 15.6 must be the upcoming Court TV subchannel that WXYZ or WMYD are getting in the Detroit market as well.

Re: DX identification tricks
Even though TV DX isn't as terribly fun as it was in the analog age, and even PSIP reveals the call letters most of the time, this resource is still useful in case it doesn't decode enough or don't feel like waiting for commercials or news.

I still need to think about the wonderful performance the US curling team put out at the 2018 Olympics.
