Fire coverage thread

I’m no fan of the president’s rhetoric, but I have to say that I see .this a broadcasting site, NOT a political forum. Of course, I’ll leave this to our fine moderators.
I agree, but I thought I'd mention it because it seemed relevant to the fire coverage since the broadcast media are covering his... uh... "statements" in that context.

I hear you, but we’ve been hearing this type of rhetoric on licensed broadcasting stations for years, more so in recent years.
Well good news....RAIN is on the way! Starts midday tomorrow and all through Monday. The nightmare is almost over. 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️
On the flip side, there's now concern about mudslides in the affected areas. Even the rain gas a potential for disaster.
Yeah, I know. I'm honestly quite tired of it, and I wish we could go back to something resembling the way it was back in the 50s and 60s, where things were still divided, but somehow everyone seemed more civil.
That said, many of the problems we have now existed then too, so I guess if you take a good hard look, things actually haven't really changed much. It just got louder.
Yeah, that can be a problem.
However, given the choice, if I were in that situation, I'd rather take my chances with mudslides than deal with more fires.

There was a drought in California decades ago that looked set to leave everybody high and dry for almost the entire winter. Then, without warning, snow and downpours galore. It was called the March miracle. I'd say pray for lightning to strike twice, except at the moment, lightning is probably the last thing anyone in California wants...
Maybe they can salvage things by faux-disguising themselves in Groucho glasses and appearing one time only as Earthmovers, Windbreaks, and Firefighters. The crowd would probably enjoy the well-meaning nod to their circumstances.Indeed!You forgot to also italicize Wind. Jeeez, whoever booked this thing might want to start thinking rain check.
Reality TV couple sues the city of Los Angeles after losing home in fires
Reality TV couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are suing the city of Los Angeles after losing their home in the destructive fires that have swept Southern California in the past weeks.

One of the plaintiffs in the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power lawsuit is identified as Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
This should come as no surprise, but ratings for news radio stations jumped during the wildfires, with KNX increasing by over 150%:

Moderator Observation: I echo Michael in saying that this forum is about broadcasting. Posts that move away from that (no matter how strongly you believe in your particular perspective) will be deleted. There are plenty of places to talk about Red and Blue, but those are not THIS forum.
This certainly makes radio and media look really goodThis should come as no surprise, but ratings for news radio stations jumped during the wildfires, with KNX increasing by over 150%:

The fact that it's market #2 helps immensely, I'm sure, as radio already looks better there than in most other places.

The article only mentioned KNX-FM, and not the AM, but unless something has changed, Nielsen rates the two together. In any case, the huge increase in listeners for KFI, KTNQ, and KNX, underscores the importance of keeping AM radio in vehicles.This should come as no surprise, but ratings for news radio stations jumped during the wildfires, with KNX increasing by over 150%:

Nielsen only identifies the FM. See below:
| 3.3 | 3.3 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 4.2 | 3.9 | KNX-FM | KNX News 97.1 | News | Audacy | 912,500 |
I wonder why the AM is not included? That could give KNX an even larger audience share.
I didn't say it wasn't included. Factually speaking, it is. But only one is identified, and that one is the FM.
Nielsen calls it "single line reporting." Because it's a simulcast, they combine the AM & FM numbers for the FM signal.
BTW the station can access the individual station numbers if it chooses. However, they are displayed this way for the public 6+ numbers.
The number is for both frequencies. It’s called single-line reporting. Stations prefer it because it’s simple.
What if KFI hadn’t had those playoffs and was fully staffed to cover the fires?
What if it had rained in December, and the winds weren't as intense? What if.
