Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now

It appears the house VO person is now female... even the brewvine logo has changed. [snip] As for the former TC Manger, he was a POS that was run outta town. I wouldn’t believe a thing he said. Just go to 7&4 and 9&10’s website and you can see he was like every politician— going in front of cameras ...

Re: So shocking...

Saw this story yesterday... Hertz selling 20K EVs (about a 3rd of global total) to be replaced by ICE cars due to customer preferences, & high repair costs.

I should say Hertz is going to TRY to sell those EVs. Resale values of most EVs globally are dismal, when they can find a buyer at all.

Re: TCL TV Advice

Perhaps 480 content will always look better to long-time HD beholders on a 720p set than upconverted on any higher res set. My daughter had a FHD TCL Roku TV lent to her in between moves; it wasn't OLED quality, but performed fine (I also found the TV setup itself and integrated Roku rather slick an...

I believe they've been using the (Closer To Home) portion of GFR's "I'm Your Captain" in ads for Chevy (trucks?) recently... and it is the original.

Who cares? Why did you go anal over a simple question? No one went anal. Someone gave a logical answer, almost like a page out of "Worst Case Scenario"...

It was nice to see someone so experienced and polished on the air, something you don't get a lot of in such a small market. Always enjoyed his forecasts, at least when he said it would be 75 and sunny. Agreed. Except the 75 and sunny forecasts... Too hot 😂 Nice longer-form MW interview you posted h...

7 & 4 / UpNorth Live's Mark Watkins Retires

After 13.5 years at the stations, meteorologist Mark Watkins was rather choked up this morning as he announced today that he was retiring and today would be his last day.

Heather Bricka will take his place on the stations' morning show.

Happy Retirement, Mark!

Re: Guess The Device

Don't matter how many people you pack into it, it's a sound mirror. They were readily used in WWI to detect airplane/zeppelin engines over the English Channel. Prior to radar. Now they are simply toys where you can talk to someone else a long way away. You pretty much got it. The intent is for folk...

Nope. You're much closer - it does have to do with audio - but it's not a mirror...

To get an idea of its size, here's a visual hint:
