Fear that President Trump will succeed

Harold Camping died in 2013, shortly after his end of the world prediction didn’t come true. His Family Radio network lives on, but after five years the new owners seem to have given up hope that Mr Camping is going to resurrect their finances. Broadcast of his recorded shows is ending.
Country music stations are going to have 58 seconds of silence today, unless the automation decides to play a Kars for Kidz PSA when it detects silence
Fred, you owe me a new monitor ! I blew tea all over my Dell 24″ monitor when I read the ‘Kar for Kiz’ comment : )
The Albuquerque NM station walked all over John B Wells ‘Ark Midnight’ , last saturday night with stupid ass commercials for the last two hours. I know I only heard like 20 minutes that last two hours ! Idiots

WABC-AM in New York has fallen to #24 in Nielsen ratings (among subscribers)
The EAS nationwide test is happening today. TDS victims are suddenly shocked that the US President has the ability to take over every radio, TV and cable channel at the same time. This was not a concern about former President Obama.
At 2:18 PM (ET) today, President Trump will seize control of every means of communication in the country (TV, radio, cable, cell phones, etc) for an important announcement.
Best of the reactions

My iPhone didn’t receive the alert. did any of you get the alert ?
parrott
Both iPhones phones got the message. The wireless carrier was in charge of relaying the message. We use T-mobile. I don’t know if iPhone has setting to suppress message. For sure, you can suppress amber alerts.
Radio/TV message was two minutes later. EAS gear at station may not put warning on streams, as I didn’t hear it.
Mr Radio – Rush Limbaugh – did not remember it was going to happen until his Apple Watch vibrated. Rush stated (incorrectly) that this test is done once every three years.
Rush, semi jokingly said the test is scheduled to interfere with his show. That is also not true. The FCC and NAB work together on this. It needs to be late enough that it isn’t waking people in Hawaii, morning drive on the West Coast… :18 works both for stations on fixed show clocks or floating breaks. It is early enough so it should not overlap afternoon tornado warnings (it is done in October because tornado season is waning). The test was delayed three weeks because of Hurricane Florence. This was the agreed to backup date.
This is not the first instance of Rush having a large gap in his knowledge of the Radio Biz. I see no evidence of a succession plan.
We (wife and I) each received a MAGA Alert on our Blackberrys (ATT). I was hoping for a ‘pre-announcement’ regarding Ruth Ginsberg’s replacement. 😉
I ‘m not judging, but ‘Connie Chung’ ? Really, she is on the ‘me too’ thing? Wasn’t she married to Maury Povich ? I remember her on the evening news .
Is this stuff really so pervasive ?
parrott
No. I really don’t think it is.
But since it is basically guy land here I will tell you I have heard a few stories over the years from other women.
* An older professional woman raped in her own apartment in a very upscale building in center city Philadelphia by a maintenance man who let himself into the apartment during the night. Raped and beat her repeatedly and threatened her life if she went to the police. She reported the crime and they caught the rapist. She told her story privately to a small group of women and I was there. This was back in the 1990s. I found this lady totally creditable.
* A woman — then in her 50s — suddenly announced to me during a phone conversation about five years ago that she had been “sexually assaulted” three times in her teens/early 20s. I listened to all three stories. In the first two she had put herself into very dangerous situations and the men involved had tried to parlay that into having sex with her. (she didn’t know either of these men.) She had a long history of drugs and alcohol and wild living. even in middle age she was still doing crazy reckless stuff. I believe the two incidents happened as she described them. (and I can’t remember the details of the third incident. Sorry.)
*Back in the 1990s a neighbor described to me an assault that had taken place years earlier.
She was a young wife and mother of two little kids,living in california. Her husband, who was older, died suddenly.
Shortly after his funeral, their minister – he was a personal friend of her husband and a fishing buddy — came to the house and asked her if he could have some small item of her husband’s as a memento of their friendship. Of course she let him into the house and the assault took place there. (I am unclear if this was a rape. I didn’t push her on the clinical details. I wasn’t in reporter mode. I was a friend and neighbor.)
She did not report the incident to the police or the authorities in her church. But she did tell a married couple who were friends to her and her late husband. They also belonged to her church.
Not long afterward the minister returned to her house but this time she wasn’t alone. The male friend was there helping with some household repair in the kitchen. He saw/overheard what the minister said and tried to do a second time. He put a stop to it.
My neighbor and the married couple then went to the authorities in the local church. The upshot was the minister was encouraged to leave and got a glowing recommendation from the church so he could get his next job. They then sent him on his way to the next unsuspecting
congregation.
My neighbor soon realized she and her kids would be better off returning to New Jersey to be near her family. They moved not long after that.
I believed my neighbor’s telling of the incident and the aftermath. It was a private conversation between two women and she had no ax to grind.
Are there any other women here who want to answer Parrott?

Is the car OK?
http://amp.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article219481685.html
yeah, I passed on viewing car vs. deer. I have seen it in real life in the opposite lane. pass.
But, I tell you what I have been watching, modern day ‘Hobos’ that are riding ‘double-stack’ trains on goober tube.
The guy that is doing quality video is ‘RanOutOnARail’. HD quality.
He seems to know what he is doing, has a good radio, solar chargers, and the best thing, he doesn’t flap his ‘yap’! Just the sound of the bearings, wheels on a rail, flanges squealing, diesel locomotives, and some annoying wind and hiding from the RR ‘dicks’ ( sorry Countess) Please pardon my french.
Dallas to Meridian MS is good. LA to Dallas and Longview Texas.
He captions the town names that they pass through, names of trains and important bridges.
I was surprised he rode a NS train from New Orleans to Meridian. NS usually watches pretty close.
Good videos Search on youtube ‘RanOutOnARail’ you see a lot of country,
parrott
Two aspects of the video
I have the sense they had no idea how close one or more of them came to being killed
More pointedly, I don’t think they realized their own contribution to the accident. The deer got spooked and actually ran into the side of the car. I am sure this video is evidence (in their minds) of why humans should not drive cars
That’s ok, Parrott. I worked in three different newsrooms. Heard lots of bad words.

Amazon has gotten permission to build a $200 million warehouse and distribution center on currently vacant land next to the Charlotte Airport. There are an expected 1,500 jibs possible, not counting the robots
https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2018/10/05/211-6m-in-construction-permits-issued-for-amazons.html
If Amazon doesn’t pay those robots a “fair wage”, I wonder if they moonlight at those new robot bordellos that I keep hearing about.
that’s wild. Amazon is building everywhere.
Long story, two weeks ago, a friend of mine at work and I ‘railfan’ with Google satellite and google car. We check things out at work some days we get annoyed with management and we check out for an hour or two and follow tracks to different cities.
Well, we were looking at the NS inter-model facility there beside the Charlotte/Douglas airport . I started looking around, and saw the Animal control & Care facility for city of Charlotte, just south of the runways. I started looking at cats listed on their site as available. ( never a good thing)
Found one. Last weekend, me and Mrs Parrott was thinking/planning on adopting a ‘Grey’ Cat. Hopefully like the one we had, that passed in 2016. We’ll, it is always roll of the dice with cats and personalities.
They had a nice grey one. Its description was ‘ picked up as a stray. Very young and healthy, gets along with other cats’. So I called and asked the nice lady that answered the phone, if we could come and visit the cat and make our decision. Sure, took my name and information, would have the cat ready, she said. She also told me she had seen this cat and it was very nice, had a blue collar. I asked if it likes to ride ? no Idea.
Looking forward for us to come and visit and would have him out in the display/interview/visitation area, Saturday sept 29.
Then red flags started waving. She put me on hold to talk to a supervisor. ‘Lisa’ the nice lady on the phone says there was a note in the ‘system’ which says the cat was visited on sept 15 by some other people. At this time she could Not verify that if the cat was still there or adopted. She would call me back. Called me the friday 28th . Cat was not there. We were sad. Thats how it goes.
The website was updated on Monday the first, but I had already saved the pic. so we didn’t get to adopt the grey cat, or visit Charlotte. I was going to let you know we were headed that way. Last weekend was a bust.
so I guess we’ll go to bridge day in west virginia @ New River gorge in two weeks, and Ill be scared stiff walking out on that bridge .
I missed the Moth Man feastval again. Mrs parrott distracts me on purpose, when that comes around in September.
no cat either.

If you look at the Y for the CLT transmodal facility, the land is on the North side, right against the I-85/485 interchange. It will be pretty straightforward to haul containers on the road West of the runway. They already built two bridges looking forward to a future project. The city had the foresight to buy up huge swaths of land 50 years ago. There is a tentative plan to add a fourth parallel runway. With the planes basically flying themselves, the use of parallel runways is becoming the norm

WDET-FM reports Michigan is considering starting a passenger train from Detroit to Traverse City
Being this is Michigan, a quote from the TC ‘dreamers’ says it all: “A ongoing study suggests there’s enough demand to justify a passenger train from Ann Arbor to Traverse City. Now, boosters need to figure out how to pay for it.”
Ah, yes… a subsidized train ride for the few. Sounds like a democrat scheme. They want to start with seasonal and special event ‘excursion’ trains (tourists) and use that as their proof-of-concept for eventual full-time daily service.
The original poll question was: “Do you want a train -from- Traverse City TO Ann Arbor.” Of course, that is the flaw with any poll question; framed correctly, you can almost always the get the desired result. It will be funny to see the reaction of TC liberals when they realize the track runs both ways.
Interesting. C&O had that, we’ll it went to Petosky. It was Pere Marquette heritage. You could get off at Traverse city.
Dipsticks, they didn’t know what they had.
From Ann Arbor this time? Is the old Ann Arbor RR trackage still in place? Looks like bits and pieces in Owosso, Alma, Mt. Pleasant, Clare, Cadillac. Looks like it ends at a sand quarry in Yuma or storage cars near Yuma MI. It use to go Frankfort/ Elberta on Lake Michigan.
They would have to relay the C&O , Thompsonville north. Chessie system pulled that in 1982.
I guess if money is no issue, it could work,
what was old is new again.

The FCC is moving forward with cutting back the protections given to Class A AM stations in the 1920s. Class A stations are ones that keep broadcasting with full power (mostly 50,000 watts) after the sun goes down, effectively preventing 1000s of small towns from having reliable AM stations after sunset.
The growth of interference from electronic devices, the availability of SiriusXM in most cars, the lack of local live programming and ubiquitous wireless internet makes “clear channel” AM stations an artifact of a time that no longer exists. We are not hanging on our chairs listening to WGN on our Philco radio to hear the outcome of the Dewey Truman election.
Since the advent of Google, we hardly even use the Dewey decimal system. 😉
If your local library hired robots to fetch and store books, we could repurpose librarians to be Uber drivers
In all seriousness, most libraries now have ebooks that with your library card, you can download for free from Amazon.com. You check them out like a regular book but there is never a late fee – they expire when they are due unless you extend them (easily done unless there is a list of people waiting to their turn to check out the same book.)
Regardless of what your political beliefs may be about paying hundreds of dollars per year to fund your local public library – you are paying for it and you might as well use it.
[This has been a public service from CC.] 😉
And Hoopla
Thank you for the plug for hoopla. Here in Charlotte everyone with a library card gets to borrow six items a month. I tried doing a few audiobooks on hoopla but found it cumbersome to use and the control buttons are too small. (the two cataract surgeries I had last year were spectacular successes but they didn’t give me the same eyesight I had back in college. )
Where hoopla really shines is with video. Fred put a hoopla button on our roku tv and I use up my borrows almost every month. And sometimes Fred’s as well. It’s simple and uncomplicated to use — I REALLY need simple and uncomplicated — and has a wide choice of tv shows and movies. I’ve found some real gems.
NB: Somehow hoopla made a deal with the great courses — a company I’ve loved for years — to offer a some classes that would cost a fortune to buy directly from the great courses on DVD or as downloads to your computer. Just last week I started one in the “books that matter” series. it’s on the decline and fall of the Roman empire by Gibbon. Harvard prof. I didn’t read it in college and regret that. There are 24 classes in the course so it will take a while to finish.
In a move to destroy the WCBS-AM franchise, Entercom is picking up NY Mets baseball next year. All News stations survive because commuters put the station on a button and just leave it there. P1 listeners are your bread and butter.
http://www.insideradio.com/free/new-york-mets-changing-stations-prompts-cancellations-exits/article_3dc5756a-cd1a-11e8-a3fc-bfff22f021bb.html
So now from April to October, people turning on WCBS to get traffic and weather will instead get 3 hours of baseball, six days a week. This will motivate them to look elsewhere. Entercom also owns all news WINS-AM in New York. I never understood why CBS didn’t merge the station content after merging with Westinghouse.
The Mets are currently on iHeart’s WOR, so this is a win for Rush Limbaugh.
It is worth admitting that WCBS has long carried the Yankees games 😉
However, the Mets play the Cubs – who still play many weekday day games
No one gives a shift about baseball. Overpaid ‘roids’ that don’t shake hands after a game.
MLB should move or add teams in Cuba and Dominican Republic and see how quickly the myth of Baseball being “America’s sport” vaporizes
Medical doctors make about 5 USD per month in Cuba – that’s right, five US dollars per month for being a medical doctor.
It is unlikely they will be buying any tickets to a MLB game any time soon… or that anyone would pay for TV rights.

One of the main aspects is that the behind-the-scenes people, like the producers and the music editors will get royalties. Music produced before 1972 was being screwed over by the way the previous laws were written, resulting in much uncertainty over whether radio stations could play the music without paying for it. The basic idea that radio stations do not have to pay performers for over the air plays has not changed.
The most important part is that users of music like SiriusXM, Pandora, and Spotify have a much more certain future revenue model of how much music will cost them and who it is that will decide. Somee portion of that future framework is that Congress has given itself the power to intervene in the future – if the rates are not reasonable in the eyes of the people donating campaign contributions to the politicians.
As a result, look for more Geoblocking on the internet, and a longer wait to ever see podcasts of radio shows featuring music.
Emmis is abandoning NextRadio.
The CEO of Emmis Jeff Smulyan has been pressuring cell phone companies to activate the FM circuitry in many cell phones so people can listen to “over the air” FM radio without using cell data.
In Asia, this is fairly common, but we don’t live in Asia. Apple phones have no provision for an FM antenna, and phones with this capability rely on the earphone wire acting as an antenna. Since the iPhone is my phone, I cannot give a first person report. Since Apple is in the business of selling music, the only way they would do this is a government mandate, which was the ultimate objective of Mr Smulyan.
To me, the issue is not whether an FM tuner is useful, but that an app is needed to activate it – one written by a radio station owner with an agenda. NextRadio is sending data back to Emmis – which stations you are listening to and tracking your GPS location.

Apparently things went smoothly
Less than a month from the election, YouTube stars Diamond and Silk have a movie out in theaters. The two pro-Trump black women star in “Dummycrats”. In the Charlotte metro area, with a population of around 2 million, the movie is available in only two theaters. Neither theater is within 10 miles of a black neighborhood.
The movie will be shown only once around the country on Monday, October 15th at 8 PM ET
https://youtu.be/W-l3wYq_ukg
We only found out about the movie / event from a very brief mention before a movie we saw last night
Can we get it on roku tv later?
P.s.: we saw “first man. ” The reviews were so good. Movie underwhelming. Went to the 4:20 show. About 12 people in the theater, including us. All aging boomers, like us. Don’t think this one has legs, despite all the buzz.
I am a bit puzzled by what is going on. My best guess is they were unable to get any conventional movie distribution, so they did one of these Glenn Beck things where you broadcast it to a group of theaters as a one time “event”. The extended trailer showed a bunch of clips of Democrats doing stupid things, but I don’t know how or if they obtained the legal rights to broadcast that content.
You might be able to get away with that on YouTube, but I don’t think a conventional movie distribution outlet is going to carry it unless the producers can prove that they’re not going to be hit with copyright lawsuits and have legal clearances from non-cekebrity people who appeared in the show. The presence of people not members of SAG, Aftra, and the like in the production might create issues for theaters that have unionized employees.

Since I largely have not cared, I did not realize how far Facebook has gone to totally control all content. While webpress websites are welcome to embed Facebook posts into their blog, the opposite is definitely not true. The ability to Echo your blog post content on your Facebook feed has been turned off, and even if you embed a URL in your Facebook feed, it will not fetch the page and present a graphic preview and a title. Their fear of the Republican “mob” is going to destroy them from inside.

As Rush and others have pointed out for decades, freedom of speech does not mean “freedom to talk as long as I agree with you”. Even those people who hate all Republicans are going to catch on that what Facebook is doing is extremely unhealthy to civilization.
For those communication companies in the radio business who still think that using only Facebook is a reasonable way to promote their radio station, I have created a special category of radio station format called “uses only F***book”, with no link pointing to their pathetic Facebook page.

Cool Fred. That is it. The part about Syrian refugees, still bothers me. I remember a interview with a Christan Syrian family that was trying to get to the U.S. and they applied, but were rejected because they were Christian. It was on 60 minutes I think. It was when ‘obo ‘ was president and doing everything he could to kill Christians around the world. They could speak english.
