A possible Joy war in Central Florida, as two different Christian stations plan in introducing the "Joy" name. And staffers at one of them are not happy:

Twist looks a little like PBS Create. Twist is Tegna's new reality-based lifestyle network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist_(TV_network) Dunno about GetTV. It looks like that old movie network with about three movies in the line up. GetTV is Sony's classic hits and movies channel, not unlike Me...

ABC would be foolish to let affiliation go to WNEM. Regardless of FCC(50,90) predictions, WNEM is a good 35 miles away, and on UHF, to try to serve 2/3 of the population of Genesee County. I wouldn't fret about ABC moving -- Gray's portfolio includes a broad assortment of affiliates from all 4 big ...

Since Gray will soon be owning WNEM, may I recommend a more normal "5" for a logo, such as this one?

The clips were from before its short-lived superstation run in the mid 1990s, when it had widespread cable carriage in a good chunk of Michigan, including almost the entire UP, and into Wisconsin. This was following the Detroit affiliation changes in 1995, which saw WKBD swapping Fox for a new netw...

...maybe Donald [Trump] will buy/sell his own Aryan social media company for $10/month, "Conspiracies R Us" or something like that where "Qanon and Alex Jones meets Facebook"? Sarah Palin (Remember her?) tried starting a subscription-based online TV network a few years back -- look how "well" that ...

Interesting thought just came by... Is their any mechanism by which a TV station could petition to change their virtual channel? It would make sense that both cable viewers and OTA viewers could use 58. FCC regulations require that they must use either their actual channel or their pre-digital anal...

When I was young we lived on Lahser. Always pronounced it Lasher. Sounding wrong any other way.

I thought it was pronounced "Laa-sir"?

On the Bell Media web site there is a contact us button. When you click on it it opens up and asks what kind of advertizing campaign you want to run, in what markets and on what platform? In other words, Bell cares more about its advertisers and they don't give a damn about its listeners. Remember ...

The new Fox game show Cherries Wild , a play on the old Joker's Wild , looks really fake. Audience shots look like generic b-roll, as if they're not in-studio, and I think they're using an "audience track" instead of a live response. Contestants look a little too coached, and the host (can't rememb...

In the West Michigan TV market Court TV Mystery is on 3 subs WXSP .3, WXMI Fox17 .4, WZPX .4, Court TV Fox17 .3, WXPX .2, Grit, WOTV .3, WZPX .3, Laff WoodTV .3, WZPX .4, Dabl WOTV .2, WLLA .6. Absolutely wasteful I imagine some of these stations will be dropping the channels once their contract is...

Been listening to Bloomberg for a few days now and I have only one complaint. Just when you're interested in an item, they cut away to an ad. I know they need advertising to pay the bills, but they should wait for the end of the story before cutting away. When the ad is over, they don't return to t...

What you describe reminds me of network TV coverage of the JFK assassination (which is all available on YouTube)... Over at NBC they had difficulties patching Robert McNeil's phone audio from Dallas. At first they tried attaching an amplifier speaker to the handset, which only produced feedback squ...

Premiere Radio Network has announced that they will be airing mostly "archival" (basically, a best-of) audio for "weeks" during Rush's time slot. Even his hardcore fans will tire of that in a few days; they really need a fill-in host to discuss current topics immediately, otherwise listeners will a...
