Re: Comcast Removing Detroit and Lansing Channels

Due to Comcast being cheap, they will only have WDCQ for PBS in Flint as of next month. I believe in the Sandusky area, the Comcast system doesn't carry any PBS outlet at all since the closure of WCMZ, as they made no effort to import local market station WTVS, or WDCQ, which has some roots in the ...

Re: Old Class C WMBN-FM/WLXT Site Near Cross Village

Couldn't have been much of a downgrade moving to its current site as WLXT is at maximum Class C1 facilities (100kW @ 981' HAAT) unless its HAAT was much higher than 981 feet

Re: Roy loses another station....

Why would WTCM-FM be forced to move its COL? Why not move Christian-format WLJN? Or WIAA, then WICA (licensed to Traverse City proper) could change its COL to Interlochen. WTCM, WIAA, and WOLW are the only non-Henderson FMs to put a city-grade signal over Bear Lake. WLJN's 60dBu comes up short of B...

Re: Most Dangerous Roads In Michigan

Genesee County doesn't give a hoot about their roads being salted and plowed in the winter either. Worst road commission in the state. Oakland County may take the cake for worst road commission. Many roads are not salted, especially in the west. Roads are too narrow in many places, and all of those...

Re: Ric Ocasek RIP

I preferred Benjamin Orr (sang lead on "Drive") myself, both as a songwriter and as a vocalist. They both had solo hits in 1986-87 and Ocasek's "Emotion in Motion" was pleasant enough, but Orr's "Stay the Night" is an underrated classic. But yeah, 2019 is turning out to be another hell of a year fo...

Re: Ric Ocasek (The Cars) dies at 75

This year was a light year for major musical deaths until the one-two punch of Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek. I wonder who will be next?

Re: Only the Lions

They looked much better this week. I thought they were a little too conservative running the ball so much but in the end, they made key plays when they needed them. Also kudos to throwing on 3rd down late to get the first down and seal the deal. Suddenly that tie looks ok in the standings. They sti...

Re: Roy loses another station....

Will one of his Michigan licenses be pulled next? I thought one of them already was? WMTE Manistee That license should have been pulled years before it was pulled. Sad to think that if Lake Michigan Broadcasting/Synergy Media had held on a couple more years, 1340 would have been able to get a trans...

Re: Comcast Removing Detroit and Lansing Channels

WDCQ is still around. Charter Spectrum in Davison carries WCMU, WKAR, and WTVS (as well as WDIV and WXYZ), but doesn't carry WDCQ. Charter in Fenton carries four PBS members (WCMU, WDCQ, WKAR, WTVS). Due to Comcast being cheap, they will only have WDCQ for PBS in Flint as of next month. I wonder if...

Saw him a couple of times, both in Traverse City (once at the front entrance of Turtle Creek Casino on New Year's Eve and the other time with Night Ranger at the Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds). He played Pine Knob/DTE many times, as recently as this Memorial Day weekend, which either was his ver...

Re: Comcast Removing Detroit and Lansing Channels

Were any of these stations sometimes blocked, due to the FCC's "Network Non-Duplication and Syndicated Exclusivity" rules? Definitely not 23, which is affiliated with PBS. No doubt WKAR won't be pleased with Comcast's actions, as it means less pledges. I don't think the FCC rules apply to noncommer...
