tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted June 3, 2024 Share Posted June 3, 2024 (edited) Found this article about Kevin Adell being sued by family members over fraud and racketeering in the "theft" of land in Novi, Michigan. https://www.metrotimes.com/news/910am-superstation-owner-accused-of-fraud-racketeering-in-federal-lawsuit-34167968 This makes me wonder, how does this man even hold a broadcast license? Especially in a place like Detroit, he uses this as a weapon that has scared away major companies that have kept his WADL-TV from becoming a major factor becuase of his own ego, incompetence and greed. What does it even take to be stripped of a license anymore these days? This is even a picture the Detroit News pulled from Adell Media.

Rusty Muck 4368 Posted June 4, 2024 Share Posted June 4, 2024 He'd have to actually be convicted of a felony or lie outright to the FCC and get nailed for it. Then the FCC would start a long process to strip him of the license. That's pretty much it. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21443-kevin-adell-the-man/#findComment-297816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mer764KCTV5 150 Posted June 5, 2024 Share Posted June 5, 2024 (edited) Yeet that man's broadcast license. But no seriously, the fact that he doesn't allow WADL-TV to be an major factor due to greed to the point he threw away an WHOLE $75 Million offer from Mission Broadcasting exactly explains what type of person he is. That and making WFDF (The other broadcast NON-Cable/Television property he owns) from an African-American focused talk station which could compete against iHeartMedia-owned Black Infomation Network and WDFN, BIN's Detroit Affiliate, to just an ordinary conservative talk station, which is really dumb since they have to compete with WDTK (albeit the signal is better on WFDF than on WDTK) and WJR. WJR is literally an Clear-Channel Station. On 760AM. WJR's signal is protected—by the Federal Communications Commission—at Night-time. WFDF have to also compete with an clear-channel station. Seriously, Adell?? Also, I probably think that racketeering is an felony, so there's a chance he might lose WFDF and WADL-TV. (Also, the article doesn't mention his ownership to WADL-TV) Edited June 7, 2024 by mer764KCTV5 Clarity on some stuff.

Megatron81 258 Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 I thought that the government was going after Kevin for not paying his taxes as well I read that when Mission wanted to buy WADL last year. No one wants to do business with Kevin not surprised that family members aren't in good terms with Kevin as well. I think a godcaster buys WADL on the cheap. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21443-kevin-adell-the-man/#findComment-297910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees4life 558 Posted July 21, 2024 Share Posted July 21, 2024 What an idiot. I hope to God they strip him of his license and Mission comes in and scoops up WADL for pennies 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21443-kevin-adell-the-man/#findComment-298809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
