  1. 100 Days To Indy moves from The CW to FOX Nation for season 3, since FOX has the Indy Car rights makes sense they get the doc 100 Days To Indy.
  2. I feel sorry for those that lost their jobs at WXMI FOX17 and the sports department, I know Remi Monaghan left the business in Feb on her own terms good for her as she knew that she wasn't going to be renewed or saw the writing on the wall. I see Scripps on the market and selling their TV stations shouldn't have bought ION in my opinion. And I wonder if Scripps hands in the FOX license for WXMI FOX17 I doubt it but it's a slim chance it happens.
  3. I wonder if Flint will be the next to get the weather from The Weather Channel. Yup, was always Byron Allen's plan to do it he didn't care that he'd get flack for this move all in the name to cut cost. But that has always been the Byron Allen way being cheap.
  4. I'll always be weather aware on those days if serve weather is in the forecast when it's level 2 or above I kinda freak when it hits orange a couple days out why I just don't read ACCUWeather on those days and only the local TV stations weather mets I'll listen to. As ACCUWeather puts fear into those types of articles I'll read them sometimes if Michigan isn't in a risk area thou.
  5. Better name than TBD never liked that name for a diginet in my opinion. Anything was going to be a better name than TBD thou.
  6. It will be interesting where the Sunday Night Baseball package goes to come 2026, I think maybe FS1 if FOX Sports takes the package, maybe The CW will bid on it, streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime Video etc. I'm surprised that ESPN didn't ask for a discount a few years ago when they decided not to air as many MLB games that would've been the right time for them to do it in my opinion.
  7. MAD appealing The FCC ruling on the Fox29 license renewal all on the character issue they should just take the L as it will be denied as it should again. Will MAD take The FCC to court if they don't get their way on the matter.
  8. Seems to me that The National Desk doesn't have many ads seems to be a lot of promos at least the weekend edition of TND as I don't watch the weekday or weeknight of the show largely in the background for the last 10 to 15 minutes of the show as I like the crime show they air on ARC-WMI on Saturday Night at 11:30PM.
  9. I wonder if WWMT will go for news at 4PM in the fall I thought that was going to be the case in fall of 2023 and that didn't happen. Or maybe get into the pay-for-play program with a local lifestyle program.
  10. ARC-WMI airs Song on Sun at 7PM & Rock Review 7:30PM I think both maybe produce from Sinclair at least Rock & Review is anyway. Not surprised that Tamron Hall was renewed for a season 7 kinda surprised that it has always been on the lower networks here in West Michigan CW7/ARC for 5 seasons and CW6 getting it this past fall kinda surprised that Wood TV, WWMT when Sinclair had it didn't put Tamron on where Dr. Phil has been for years after that went after the show ended in 2023 in my opinion etc.
  11. I'll watch Grand Slam Track sounds interesting as I like Track & Field why isn't the main NBC going to air it thou and only on Peacock streaming only. NBC not have enough space to fill on the weekend like The CW does.
  12. It was alright not good but not bad either guess I'm indifferent on this.
  13. WOTV DT4 is now Shop LC as the Dabal deal expired and didn't renew it which Charter Spectrum removed channel 180 as the programming no longer on although Shop LC is on channel 183 or 184 in Kazoo systems.
  14. WOOD TV does the bite size news they have a live desk news & interviews that is what the promos have been saying for the past couple of years. Maybe that is how they got past the 2-hour rule before the newscast could be streamed but I don't know that for sure. Does other Nexstar stations have a live desk for online and bite size news for weather, sports and interviews with someone local or famous celebrity etc.?
  15. I thought that Pictionary was doing well in the ratings I'm surprised that got cancelled truth be told I think that WOTV will just air of the newer game shows come fall of 2025. I'm not surprised by Person, Place, Or Thing getting cancelled I didn't think it was going to last all that long as that was aired in the graveyard on FOX17. Dish Nation I was quite surprised it lasted as long as it did truth be told I thought it be a goner years ago but I guess it had a niche following why it stayed on for 10+ years in syndication. As for the bubble shows that aren't TMZ, TMZ Live, & Sherri WBD shows that will stay is Extra since that is lead in on most FOX O&O's for TMZ & JHud. I think True Crime News could very well be the odd show out I hope that will be renewed that one is truly on the bubble in my opinion.
  16. I have always said that PBS & NPR can make it on their own with the donations they get and I'm sure they have rich donors as well. Plus, my tax dollars shouldn't have to fund PBS & NPR, and they need to be defunded plus I want my money back since it is a waste of taxpayer money to fund them defund PBS & NPR now.
  17. I'm surprised the 9/11 families haven't made a press release on LIV Golf signing with FOX as they were vocal when The CW signed onto LIV Golf. I know the higher ups at The CW did say they knowledge them and left it at that which I'm sure FOX Sports would say the same thing if they were ever asked. I don't know if the ratings will be better on FOX than on The CW.
  18. Yeah, I'm also surprised that they aren't adding new personality as you said Springer.
  19. AMG lost a local insurance company in MS CEO told those to not watch Wheel to hurt Byron Allen which I doubt that would work in my opinion. Hubbing weather to TWC is a back idea and a an epic fail as well.
  20. As I thought that WTXF license would be renewed, and that Media & Democracy didn't have a case to begin with and only did this stunt to get attention and get people to donate for the cause. I thought this wasn't going to renew until the new FCC came into power but I was glad that the old FCC renewed it as their final act., And scolded not just MAD but other groups on 60 Minutes and I didn't know that the ABC O&O in Philly also got a complaint as well.
  21. I was surprised that Imgicomn Comm bought TV stations a couple of years ago from CMG weren't theses TV owned by Northwest at one time. Other than Mem & OK.
  22. Will Cain should do good at 4PM not surprised that business news is out at that hour.
  23. I don't see the GOP controlled FCC will go through that Nexstar has to sell WPIX or they buy it outright maybe since the rules will be relaxed maybe Nexstar will own WPIX outright. Yup, The CW app is free. Altice is different name but can't get rid of the Cablevision smell out of it LOL. I feel that Nexstar & Altice will come to an agreement in the next few months in my opinion than they will with MSG RSN.
  24. The UFO's taking over Dan Abrams show in Feb LOL.
  25. All the best to Neil Cavuto in the nest chapter it seems that Neil health problems that he was more off than on for the last few years. When FOX News was added in the cable lineup in 2001, I watched his show a lot for years, but I haven't watched his show for years as well. I watched his final send off last night very good and touching and bittersweet as well.
