Is Erik working part-time at WEYI? The last few times I've tuned in over the past month or so someone from WWMT taped the weather.

I really like Ahmad. He is a very good presenter, and knows his stuff. I consider him "Gary England" of Michigan.

Chris is doing a decent job on 5, but he isn't alone. Erik doesn't have the greatest delivery, and could really use help.

Wexford was removed? Interesting... wonder why?

No, it's been a little while since I've watched 5's newscast. Just throwing out a thought.

WNEM *could* do what 9&10 does with "The Four" (that name still drives me up a wall....) and just make it more of an entertainment news show.

The fun thing in the analog days living in Cheboygan, you didn't need an antenna to pick up WTOM. Came in relatively clear within two miles line-of-sight. I can agree, MW. Having the site closer to Petoskey would be better. Frankly, I never understood why Les didn't do that in '59. Unless it had to ...

I didn't have any knowledge of that. Wonder how I missed it.

Please share if you do find a picture of the WTOM set. I've been looking off and on for years.

WTOM still exists, but in the digital era, its signal no longer reaches SSM. It now uses a subchannel of WGTQ to accomplish this. Likewise, WGTU also feeds WPBN on a subchannel, and both WPBN and WTOM do the same feeding WGTU / WGTQ. I've often wondered though, (I have not looked up the countour ma...

Wow! Maybe they could find that damn 10mm socket I can never find... lol

TOH ID is all that is required.

I stand corrected.

How are things going at 62? Haven't heard much in a while. I'm assuming all is well? Been a little bit since I last tuned in. That "studio" is driving me nuts. And no green screen for weather.

Can someone please explain the point of dual TV IDs in Northern Michigan? IE 9&10 4&7 29&8. With digital television, the secondary ID can now be dropped as it is all virtual channels anyway. It just seems so clunky. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk If my understanding of FCC rules is correct, I...

Speaking of educational, I always wondered why Lansing was allotted two stations for such a small market. The other was channel 69 if memory serves, I don’t think it was ever even applied for. There are very few stations on channel 69, mainly because that channel was as far as you could go on UHF i...
