 Also, since WJMN's normal coverage area is more than from Ford Field (home of the Lions), the NFL's local television blackout policy does not apply.In September 2008, WJMN and WFRV upgraded their master control for pre-recorded network and syndicated high definition shows.A character generator would also allow WJMN to place enhanced definition widescreen bulletin crawls for severe weather and breaking news over the programming; this lasted until the stations' newscasts were upgraded to high definition in June 2011.
