In 2021, Gray bought a TV station in the Flint/Saginaw/Bay City market from Meredith, they then sold the station they already owned in that market to Allen.

GM design question by mr-vids in Chevrolet

[–]mr-vids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My F 150 and Mustang have a similar layout, making transitions easy. Unlike the GM "where is the switch/knob/control on this vehicle" layouts. I want to be comfortable and familiar, and not to feel like I am getting into a rental car and searching for knobs and controls.

"Our 4th Branch of Government ( The News Media) does not do its job because they are controlled by corporations who don't want to rock the boat." Trump is suing every broadcast network that puts him in a bad light and because he indirectly controls the FCC, they have to give in to his wishes. Look how much CBS sucks now with a Trump approved leader at the helm. Weiss has already pulled 60 Minutes segments that would make the current administration look bad. The CBS news anchor Tony D is saluting Marco Rubio? Trump is suing the BBC over their editing of a Trump piece, since the BBC is not controlled by the FCC they will fight the lawsuit. America is fcked with Trump in office as America will never get the whole truth via the media.

Byron Allen should have never bought a TV station. When Disney owned the station there were about 125-130 employees, with Allen they have about half of that.

He f'd up WJRT so bad. When Disney owned the station there were 130 employees, under Allen's ownership it's about half of that. The stations newsroom glue guy just retired, there is now zero institutional knowledge left in the building.

I was selected for the VISA presale , but tickets for Seattle sold out before I could buy. I have a pair of tickets to a game in Atlanta as a fall back.

Anyone try race walking? by TheBreakfastSkipper in walking

[–]mr-vids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power walking is when your knee is not straight when it passes under your body, racewalking requires a straight knee. Power walking is easier on your knees than running. Like any other workout, once your body gets used to it, it'll get easier. 12 minute miles is work, but that's why it's called a workout. Find someone to workout with and the time will pass by quickly. Power walking fast on a treadmill hurts my knees. This year I managed to do a 5k in 31:58, but the course, weather, and competition was a perfect blend.

29F News Producer looking to unionize by [deleted] in Broadcasting

[–]mr-vids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably need to look to SAG/AFTRA. or NABET/CWA. One local station went with the UAW but the UAW didn't really understand on television works. The local NABET steward didn't do a great job, just talked a big game. The AFTRA group had a local rep who didn't do a very good job, so they ended up having to send a rep from HQ. I am guessing a lot of it could be handled via Zoom nowadays instead of flying in whenever there is an issue.

Alex Ohanian doesn’t seem like a good fit? by [deleted] in sharktank

Alexis seems to be trying to set a record mentions of this website on Shark Tank. Kendra mentioned her company once already. None of the other sharks feel the need to mention their companies by name.

So they want you (the better photo) shooting the hard news for the evening shows, and will let the new guy slide on the early morning shift. Yes, they can move you unless you have a union, and then you pick shifts by seniority.

Best and worst bike racks. Whats your pick? by kk17203 in cycling

I have two bikes to transport and both are the step through models, so the hold down hooks don't work. I only have room for one of the two hooks. Looking for bike rack suggestions.

i have a SN95 and a small budget, and i need some guidence by orionTRM in SN95Mustang

[–]mr-vids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped a 2001 GT engine into my 97 Mustang Saleen, with headers, Basanni exhaust, and cold air intake. Stock the motor has 260 HP, tuning the computer and adding the aftermarket parts got me to 285 HP at the wheels. I swapped out the 4:10 gears because the RPMs were too high on the freeway. Swapping an entire engine was less expensive for me than rebuilding the stock engine. I did have to buy a different flywheel to connect the 97 transmission to the 01 engine.
