Even after the recounts snd certification, Trump has no intention of conceding.
Because Trump is in it to win -- even if his chances reach the realm of impossibility and fantasy.

Re: KDTI Has Gone All Christmas Music

And I thought Spring Arbor's KTGG was the only other "K" station in Michigan.

Start buying stock in Court TV. The Trump Case will have huuuuuge ratings! It’ll eclipse OJ Simpson as the trial of the century.
Invest in E.W. Scripps, the people who own WXYZ -- its Katz Broadcasting subsidiary owns Court TV.

Re: Reciva to stop streaming broadcast radio on 1/31/2021

Are there any internet radios on the market that does NOT use Reciva? I thought of buying one recently, but decided not to, as many used Reciva, and what I read, they're not compatible with all streaming formats.

So the Steelers are playing home and away with two different teams? Should one of these be the Browns?

Email FTVLive and telling how bad it is working for Sinclair and that you want to form a a union at 25-66 Sinklair. I'm sure that UAW will help you form a union at 25-66 if the anchors & reporters want a union badly enough which I know Sinclair and other broadcasting media companies don't want unio...

Re: Child abduction alert--not one word from the anchors

Whitmer is great. Michigan is, per capita, the state has the second fewest deaths and infections from Covid. WTF do you get your data?? Michigan is number 12 FROM THE TOP WORST in deaths/million of all the states. Whitmer is doing the best she can in controlling COVID in Michigan, but having the se...

Re: Future of WAQP

That being said, following a change in FCC regulations mandating local studios for TV stations, TCT had since closed down local studios and offices for all its stations other than the mothership in Illinois, and sold the properties to other interests. In WAQP's case, its only physical presence now i...

Re: Channel-Sharing, Canadian Style

The real waste was moving CBEFT to DT channel 35 (IIRC), only to operate it for less than a year!!! I think it was analog 35, but it did move from 54 in 2011 CBEFT never was in digital, as the CBC planned on shuttering its repeater network instead of converting to digital, regardless of market size...

OAN is a far right (even more conservative than Fox News) cable operation — Similar to Steve Bannon’s NewsMax channel.
Actually, OAN is even farther right than Newsmax, and has since replaced Fox News as Trump's favorite:

Today, Sinclair still doesn’t have a national newscast — only little watched political shows like Full Measure and America This Week.
They did try a hybrid national / local newscast that aired in 12 markets from 2002 to 2006:

Re: Old WJR Radio Guide

Along the same token, I also remember around the late-1980s or early-1990s a radio atlas of Michigan, which featured radio stations by format and their range of coverage. Stores such as the defunct Action Auto had them for free. The big flaw was that it not only neglected most of the UP, but it did ...

Re: Free Press & News putting up paywall on Aug 12

None Shall Pass , if you, like many others, are using an ad blocker. If they follow typical behavior, in short time, more and more of the "good stuff" will get moved behind that paywall. Considering the crappy ads that I see either without a blocker, or dodging a blocker (such as "one weird tricks"...
