  1. When there was nasty storms 10 days ago all the weather local TV station didn't do the podcast style Wood TV had most of the weather mets in for that night. The only station that does that podcast style is WXMI. I think TV station groups are trying something new as a lot have said the podcast style may work in some markets but not all markets, just trying to get their footing what works or not work. I'm wait and see on this podcast style weather & news segments.
  2. CBSMV doing what NBCU putting dramas on weekdays/nights with FBI Most Wanted? I thought that Ghost would get into syndication this fall don't they have enough for 5 days a week.
  3. The EU will prove the merger as the land down under Aussie has already approved the deal. And I believe that Ellisons will sell the some of the cable networks as I have heard there willing to sell nick or Cartoon Network.
  4. I thought it was going to be Comcast that was going to be buying Roku. I didn't think it would've been FOX since they own Tubi I see them meagering Tubi & Roku in my opinion.
  5. I thought that WPLG was going to get the Heat as they aired 10 games in 2025-26 season.
  6. I'm surprised that SiriusXM didn't add FOX Weather years ago in my opinion.
  7. Very sad about Kyle Busch death 41 years old is too young to die.
  8. I thought that CBS newspath is just segments in newscasts and I thought TV station groups can take it or not take it from the Big 4?
  9. The Weather Channel gone home for the weekend surprised they didn't go wall to wall for weather coverage for Sun like FOX Weather did, which FOX Weather at least doesn't have the gone home sign for the weekends anymore.
  10. I'm really surprised that Ted Turner didn't try and make a CNN Weather Channel for cable since he was the creator of the cable TV bundle after all. R.I.P. Ted Turner. Surprised it took CNN this long to get a weather app out.
  11. WILX should've always do the news for WSYM Scripps had no business trying to do the news on their own for FOX47 in my opinion, as it was cheap and low budget no wonder why Journal gave up doing the news for FOX47 in 2004 or 2005 and made a deal with WILX to do the news. I looked at an old TV Guide that i have from Dec, 5-11 1998 with Hulk Hogan, and 3 others I wanted The Stone Cold Steve Austin one since my parents got TV Guide through the mail I got Hulk Hogan which I know no one cares LOL. I saw that WSYM FOX47 had news before WXMI FOX17 which they launched in Jan of 1999 which was interesting as I thought that FOX17 had news before FOX47.
  12. Byron Allen is a wannabe media mogul why do the banks keep loaning him the money to buy stuff that he'll just run into the ground. I hope the board of Starz deny Byron to buy them. Just say no to Byron I'm A Cheapskate Allen.
  13. Which the Pistons will be aired on WXMI DT2 in the fall since Scripps owns FOX17 in West Michigan, even know there was no mention of WXMI will be said once the Pistons get OTA across the state of Michigan come fall. The Pistons were aired on channel 17 in the 80s until 93 then WXSP from 99-08.
  14. I doubt WZZM news building is all that good looking but I don't know that for sure but they have a weather deck since that was TEGNA's thing to do. Is TEGNA HQ got a for sale sign up have higher ups moved out of HQ somewhere VA?
