Okay....so spank me...

It has been on my calendar. It has been on numerous to-do lists. So today I FINALLY am going to post something. It's been part because of being hectic and part laziness and part trying to figure out the direction I want to take this blog. I now see why so many blogs I visit have gaps in dates of entries. So here I am with plenty to talk about.

The AM has some changes, including the addition of Cerro Coso baseball. We'll have around 20 games on the air. Some home, some away. I would like to thank Dick Adams for the vote of confidence. I would also like to thank, in advance, The Madman, Bud, Shyla, and Nic for volunteering to help make sure the games get on the air. (for the EDD- they WILL be paid).

I also made a decision about the AM to not replace Alan Colmes. We were looking at doing something different but with baseball season approaching, if I make a big deal out of evening programming and then yank the rug out from under it for a ball game, it only makes people mad. Ultimately, that's what Alan is for anyway. We have an almost exclusive conservative lineup and Alan is the little bit of balance that we have. For those that don't know that's 7-10pm weeknights.

Also, time flew by without me getting sufficient notice out for a little weekend change. We have Bob Coasts on Saturdays from 4 to 6, American View now airs at 6pm and Al and Gary's Community Spin has been expanded to 3 hours from 8 to 11 am.

More on sports...we are looking to add USC football and or an NCAA game of the week package and also we're working on Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night NFL football. That package also guarantees the playoffs. We're keeping the Chargers.

Over on the FM side...small changes here and there. We added New Music Weekly on Friday nights after Thunder Road at 9pm. It's a co-promotion we do with Wal mart and features all of the new songs. Don't worry, the wheels move a little slower on the FM, but we're eying some cool additions for the weekends. Also, this fall we WILL be carrying BHS football. It will be on the FM and we are going to be offering some pretty unique and comprehensive coverage.

As far as community stuff, we continue to support the USO project and many others too. Kim and I are buried in Follies rehearsals. The show is coming up March 10th at Mesquite Hall and I would like to salute all of our fellow cast members for taking part in this.

Maybe this will get me writing again!
