Haven't been to McDonald's in nearly a decade. Like many big corporations, they abuse employee rights, pay low wages, and their CEO criticized a Black mother after her daughter was gunned down in one of their drive-thrus. No, I'm not "Lovin' It".

A rarity - a longtime radio personality leaving on his own terms and not being pushed out like Rick Dees and Eddie and JoBo were.

No one really cared about "The Wonder Years" by this point considering it was on opposite "Beverly Hills, 90210".

Here's a printable 2026 primetime TV schedule grid I put together for ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC's fall lineups — broken down night by night, time slot by time slot. Also included: details on every new fall and midseason show. Now up at TVLine:

#RIP Rex Reed Here’s a reminder of how badly Tribune Co. misunderstood what actually made Siskel and Ebert so appealing, a sample of Reed and Bill Harris as replacements after Gene and Roger left for Disney.

NBC, Fox in the 2026-27 season: blog.sitcomsonline.com/2026/05/nbc-...

The French version in Quebec is different than the one in France.

They own a few stations in Chicago including LA Ley 107.9

Abolish ICE in its entirety and deny everyone working for them any future government employment.

To any prospective job seekers: stay away from retail. Given my experience, it's a horrible career to get into. You make $15/hr and get chewed out by Nazi-like management while the corporate pukes earn their billions.

ABC pulls off a historic feat - no cancellations! deadline.com/2026/05/rj-d...

The Tribune Editorial Board inserting themselves into the Archer Avenue bike lane controversy is quite on-brand for them, especially in an area where 90 percent of the residents don't buy or read the paper anyway. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/05/07/l...

“I wanted to watch an NBA playoff game at a bar. I didn’t consider I needed to check the streaming/broadcast provider for the night. Why is it so hard to watch a game at a bar? We tried to find out why. “unlocked for all.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Very interesting...and confusing story. So the question is, why did the Miami-Dade School Board want to buy a station... in another market?

Sounds familiar, anyone? These guys should be better than the Trump Administration (which is targeting CPS for just about everything), not stoop to their level.

OOF. "Specifically, the letter pointed to reporting that Larry Ellison discussed the WBD deal with Donald Trump’s White House and indicated Paramount would “implement the CBS playbook” at CNN, “transforming CNN’s programming and firing anchors and commentators Trump dislikes.”"

Bianca Roses competed on season 48 of "Survivor" while building her own PR agency back at home in Arlington, Virginia, after quitting her job.

“While local TV stations also had reruns, TBS was the first to supersize the idea and nationalize it with two- and three-hour blocks... a trip down memory lane for boomers was how kids of the 1980s first got into shows like Gilligan’s Island, Get Smart, and The Andy Griffith Show.”

There will never be another. He is what made cable TV what it was in the start, he made the south and other parts of the country into Braves fans. Made one of the best media companies to exist and helped bison. He is one of the last of a breed we'll never see again.

#RIP Ted Turner, former Atlanta Braves manager

My second article for Reader's Digest. Unfortunately, those traditional 22-episode orders on the broadcast networks barely exist anymore. www.rd.com/article/shor...

Rest In Power, Ted Turner. #RIP

Kind of like Hawk Harrelson and Steve Stone

FIRST ON THE DESK: FCC Chairman Brenda Carr confirmed an emergency petition challenging the Media Bureau's approval of Nexstar's acquisition of TEGNA was filed in March, and hinted to lawmakers that the commission may scrutinize the deal retroactively.

Obviously for the same reasons why salicious daytime TV shows fell by the wayside. People get their drama fix on TikTok or other social media platforms now (article is 🔒, but couldn't find any other reputable news source on this, so I guess no one gives a s**t, 😆) www.ajc.com/arts-enterta...

The WKRP radio station in Cincinnati has officially launched: www.wvxu.org/media/2026-0...

Nexstar Media Group has filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court that asks the Court to review an ongoing lawsuit brought by DIRECTV over fees paid for carriage of channels operated, but not owned, by the broadcaster.

Not surprised. This is the pharmacy I use, but will be moving from the area later this year. This is the 3rd Walgreens to occupy this block - the original was on the corner of 87th/Cottage, with Metropolitan Life offices on the 2nd floor. It burned down in 1969. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/w...

When I read this at the 24th Letter, I thought it was a joke.

Much better than those two-song medleys that came out a few years earlier, those abominations by David Lee Roth and Will To Power. This video (which I never saw until today) is quite the departure from what Robert Palmer was known for. From his 1990 album "Don't Explain".

Andy Approved.

Yep, that makes sense given he's worked in Cincinnati radio...
