I blame Roone Arledge.

One of the things that actually enrages me about the whole Apple TV Friday night thing is that this is not even the only game that’s playing on it. The other game is Yankees-Mets. Which game do you think 95% or more of all viewers in the country are watching? The only viewers that care about Tigers-Blue Jays are in Michigan. So why is Baseball stealing this game from the fan base and putting it on a platform no one outside of Michigan is interested in watching it on? Thanks for nothing, Manfred man. 🤬

This is just horrifying.

This one is super interesting: percentage of people who still live in the state they were born: Just another data point showing just how isolated Michigan is.

A less strict version of that map above.

Well, this is gonna change, and how.

Maybe Swedish Erotica is still a thing!

This is fun, and funny.

As long as everyone lets him get away with it, he will get away with it. His voters don't care because Jesus is coming back any time now.

They had to decouple themselves from NBC News because they're no longer using those same resources, while maintaining the MS part for continuity.

In all seriousness, I think Meijer would have to bail on the sponsorship first.

Well, ya gotta put a team on the field even while all your halfway decent players are dropping like flies.

What a coincidence! That kind of player is right up Scott Harris alley! https://www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tigers-mlb-draft/90792/detroit-tigers-draft-trevor-condon-baseball-america-aiden-ruiz-tyler-spangler

Are we done with Steve Yzerman yet?

Right. I hadn't known where the Goodwill part of the slogan came in, and now I do. It's interesting that they kept it well past when Goodwill sold off. Then again "good will" means something outside of radio that "group w" does not.

Jim Crow is being revived before our very eyes and barely being commented on by the media. But at least the activists are covering it.

Growing up in Detroit and listening to WJR, especially the Tigers, do you remember them referring to themselves as “the Goodwill station”? So do I. Ever wonder what they meant by that? I didn’t. It was part of the wallpaper. But I ran across this ad in an old Broadcasting magazine issue, and … well, now I know. And so do you.

Careful what you wish for … ? 😉
