  1. RT @InsideRadio Calling on Pep Boys? CEO says they've "shifted ad dollars to TV and radio promotions with good results in store traffic.”
  2. Nice blizzard pics from RadioIowa's OKay Henderson: http://tinyurl.com/ycdeaqm
  3. Blizzard shuts down state. That's the headline of the latest Radio Iowa story. Brrr. http://tinyurl.com/ybus2yp
  4. Even trapped by snow, RadioIowa's Kay Henderson is in control. Got copy of email w/action plan & assignments for all staff. Nice work, Kay.
  5. Bad weather has Radio Iowa staff stranded at home but able to work remotely. Matt Kelly flying solo in the newsroom for now.
  6. Finished North/South All Star Game format for SC Radio Net. Now need station list finalized. Good "extra value" for affiliates of SCRN.
  7. We will get some Bowl coverage help from within as the other half of Learfield runs the networks for most of the teams we will be covering.
  8. Spoke w/Angel Velasquez (PD) at KDUS in Tempe on Friday. Nice lady. She & her staff are willing to help us w/Insight.com Bowl coverage.
  9. 5 networks, 7 bowls. Not easy time to be in budget crunch. Our Sports Directors are scrambling to find local stringers for pre/post coverage
  10. Computer finally back and running. Ahhhh.
  11. W/O computer most of last week & again this morning. Amazing how much more I seem to be getting done. After withdrawls faded of course.
  12. Not just Radio. Newspaper ad revenue fell 28% in 3rd. Newspaper's last positive quarter was 3 years ago. Local TV rev fell 27% in 1st half.
  13. InsideRadio reports RAB shows Radio's 3rd quarter revenue down 16% with a drop in local (-19%), national (-17%) and network (-11%) dollars.
  14. Kudos to @Missourinet crew & more specifically to Affiliate Manager Jonathan Shelby. Hard work pays off as network moves to #3 KFEQ in StJo.
  15. From @Missourinet Study lists STL as #2 in nation for crime. KC #15, Sprngfld #115, StJo #242, Col #271. STL official says study is "stupid"
  16. Went to lunch w/a great friend. Sunshine. Cool breeze. Winery grub. Little wine (not much) and lots of laughs. Not a bad Friday afterall.
  17. RT @Missourinet - Nixon cuts same deal w/community colleges he did w/4-year schools: freeze tuitions & won't recommend cuts more than 5%.
  18. Even w/revenue down 6%, AP has announced they will cut rates for TV and newspapers but NOT radio stations. Don't understand that thinking.
  19. It has been confirmed. AP cut 90 employees this week. All in an effort to reduce payroll costs by 10%. Revenue pace at AP down 6% this year.
  20. Affiliate Manager Jonathan Shelby is wrapping up a tour of Missouri. Which started Monday in St.Jo & ended in Poplar Bluff. Lots of miles.
