Re: Hypocritical Treatment Of Lori Loughlin

I think LL is confusing actual discrimination and bullying with the fact that it is receiving a particular negative response due to being such an unlikable, boring character that no one wants to associate with it, or take anything it says seriously. The response is not because it claims it is LGBTQ+...

Re: ATSC 3.0 To Be Deployed In 40 U.S. Markets By End Of 2020

Not to sound like an old ogre, but if this change makes my old equipment unusable without more converters, I will just give it up. I am unwilling to constantly keep up with this. TV isn't important enough to me to constantly shell out money for new equipment.

I have to buy another converter box for my already digital smart TV I bought last year? This is getting ridiculous.

What does this mean for our current TV sets and all devices hooked up to it? Compatibility, or planned obsolescence?

Re: AOC Sucks?

I really don't know much about AOC. I am not a conservative, and I am not a liberal. But I think it's funny how conservatives label AOC as an inexperienced loon who says stupid or untrue things. But Donald Trump is somehow immune from the same criticism, which in my opinion is much more warranted. C...

Saying “typical liberal” doesn’t simply end this very legitimate argument of what Trump is.

Re: Will Trump Close The Mexican Border ?

Keep it open. One aspect: Lots of our food comes from there, which affects American businesses and families. Restaurants can't serve lots of food, reducing customer count. Lots of fruits and vegetables would not be available, or would be much more expensive, raising food prices for families. Why sho...

Re: FM Stations That Used To Be Listenable In SE MI, But Now Difficult Or Impossible

My argument was about IBOC on adjacent channels. Of course, a translator that broadcasts overtop of an existing signal will turn people off. Some crap translator that broadcasts over WQKL which my area is part of its licensed listening area is a problem. But I’m still unconvinced this is the reason ...

Re: FM Stations That Used To Be Listenable In SE MI, But Now Difficult Or Impossible

Likewise, people don’t abandon FM because of translators on adjacent channels, as much as I hate them. It’s programming. I abandon FM because of poor programming. My friends abandon FM because of poor programming. My parents even barely listen to FM radio.

Re: FM Stations That Used To Be Listenable In SE MI, But Now Difficult Or Impossible

Nah. I’m not convinced HD is having that effect. The typical listener here in Metro Detroit isn’t trying to pull in WIOG. That’s just something we radio nerds do. And those on the rural fringes of the market who now can’t pull in WIOG when they could before HD aren’t abandoning FM because of that.

Re: FM Stations That Used To Be Listenable In SE MI, But Now Difficult Or Impossible

My opinion: HD broadcasting is a minor issue compared to the rest of the issues. I don't believe for a second that it "is what is literally killing the FM Band with HD Radio transmission." HD broadcasting and IBOC interference is only noticed by us radio nerds. Translators, as much of an annoying pa...
