More likely that WDIV will make DT2 The CW I wonder if they add syndication or keep ThisTV and only air it when The CW isn't on in primetime or sports on the weekends.

This is from Kevin Adell to MasterB, “All your fact are wrong, when CBS approached me they offered $25M for WADL, $25M for WXON and $25M for WGPR. I was friends with Mike Berman who was the GM at WXON. My number was $100M and WXON was $200M. WGPR took the $25M offer, Dr. Banks who started WGPR passed away and his son-in-law got $8M personally and WGPR received the remaining $17M.

To answer your question about the CW, I have a pretty good idea what’s coming around the corner, I still throw a decent fastball, I was a ham radio operator, KB8IDB. I built WADL from a construction permit and came up with the idea for the Word Network, I build 910AM, which is going great along with the Adell Center, all with Private Funds. Perry Sook is not going on a DOT channel in Detroit, he’s made a large capital investment and they have a plan for that investment, he also has a fiduciary obligation to its shareholders. I’m not carrying the CW for free. I’m very capable of putting on programs and getting zero ratings and I certainly don’t need his help. He’s got a long runway to go till August 31st. 2024 He will need to do an LMA before that. Which entails 80% of the purchase price and the balance over 8 years, it will be a real LMA with Nexstar not Mission.

Its seems like you worked for me at some point or know me, come to the Word Network and I’ll meet you face to face since you have such a keen interest in me…Let me know when you want to meet. KA.”

Is this for real? or a fake? No one will really know. Is the letter from Kevin Adell authentic? Or b.s.? Why would Kevin Adell even bother with a Radio and TV message board.?

I think it is fake, yeah, why would Kevin care what anyone has to say about him or WADL on a message board?
