Re: WEYI hubbing weather from WWMT?

I’m guessing that Erik is getting off this sinking ship.

It’s bad enough that the weekday morning weather is already from WWMT. I’ve also seen the crew from WPBN from Traverse City fill in. Sinclair has completely screwed the pooch with NBC25 and FOX66.

Re: Sinclair buying ratings (just like radio)

Funniest thing is that it’s not going to work like they want it to, as I’ll be a viewer who will record it and watch it later, fast forwarding until I see the code and will enter the contest then

Fox 47 makes WBKB in Alpena look like the major leagues!
Ha, I know that people refer to BKB as "Barely knows broadcasting."
Because it is.

Unfortunately ABC12 in Flint hired one of their anchor/ reporters about a year ago. Guy’s delivery is as stiff as a board

Sinclair buying ratings (just like radio)

Happened to see a promo on NBC25 this morning prior to the Today show where starting next week, watch their 6pm newscast, look for the QR code, scan it and enter to win a $100 Visa gift card and then be entered to win a weekly prize of $5,000! Did a little digging for 💩💩💩 and giggles and found a few...

Re: Jeff Holbrook dies (WWCK)

Heard his legendary voice on a TV commercial for a downtown Flint bar (name escaping me at this moment) the other day on ABC12.

Fantastic pipes, great music knowledge and I’m sure he could’ve easily worked in Detroit if he wanted to move there. RIP Jeff.

Re: NABET and The Comma

18 years with the government... union did nothing but protect the useless workers. When managers stole money, union protected them. When reports were falsified, union protected them. The people who get screwed are the ones with a real work ethic... thus why I left. The Union protected managers? RIG...

Re: Fake Wheels still sucks

I was in.their broadcast area today for work and tuned in. OMG - their music doesn’t entirely fit their ads on Bally Sports Detroit where they say they’re “classic rock that rocks”. Heard a deep cut tune that Anne Carlini played from an Aerosmith album from the 70’s. Later heard a tune from Jimi Hen...

Re: Jim Price

Price replaced Oosterman on play by play at PASS. Oosterman in an interview (link was posted somewhere in this forum within the past year) told the story regarding what happened. Thankfully, Ernie soon arrived at PASS, with Price moving to color commentary for most innings. McLeod never worked Tige...

Re: Fox News evidently believes catastrophic fires in Maui are unnewsworthy

ZERO mention of the wildfires and mass devastation to life and property on foxnews.com's home page. When I clicked on the U.S. - news page, still no story to be found. Un-fucking-believable. They have completely abandoned hard news coverage that cannot be spun politically. This surprises you? I tur...

Re: Paul W. Smith moving to middays + other changes at WJR

Sad thing is that I was in historic Lahaina, Maui a year ago. My wife showed me a before and after pictures from there, with the hotel we stayed at in the center, the waterfront docks near there and the business district there. It’s all been incinerated and is gone.

Unusual candor and objectivity from Henning. I'm pleasantly surprised.

He touched on the things that annoyed me about Price’s announcing. First report on his passing that I’ve seen do that.
