One of my pet peeves is having my social media feeds flooded with crappy fireworks videos after major holidays... Literally NO ONE wants to watch them! :x
Dropping knowledge on forum MAGAts (where DID they all go??).

WJR was famous for fireworks on the radio for many years. Why anyone would sponsor that is a mystery to me.

I can listen to the fireworks on the radio any time by listening to one of my tube radios with silver mica disease.

I wouldn't say equally but I get the point.

I finally got smart this year and turned off the sound, so that I wouldn't hear the annoying music. I couldn't hear the explosions, of course, but the light show was still fun.

about 10 years ago, Channel 4 bumped a cup clinching game over to WADL (2013, i believe) - NHL season went longer because of a lockout

Loco 4 probably would've preempted it!!
They most certainly would have. The fireworks and the parade are when C-level WDIV execs and upper sales drones get to schmooze and feel self-important. They kiss the asses of everyone at the Parade Company and pretend like they're doing the world a favor by showing advertising.

It is a sickening sight.
