Mark, Thanks for the reminder! Since 1977 I have missed 3 seasons for various reasons. During one of those seasons Eric St. James worked with Will Gregg. I never worked with Will. I thought

Ross, Please let me know the best day and time for you and Bill. When I came in 1977 it was Bill and Ted and in 1978 I worked with Bill and next was Tom Graves. I never worked with

willow, linda here, I will be happy to help! I will either do the party - for a fee of course, or just organize if you're interested, e mail me back and let me know asap. I'll get busier than I

Clint, Strange you should bring this up. Just the other day Bill and I were trying to recall all the football play-by-play and color people . I'd be happy to meet with you. One idea they comes to

Ross, It appears the 50th year of Orange football will happen this fall following an earlier conversation with John Shick and Joe B. We will start on the FM (98.9) and move to the AM should the

This week I have been emceeing some music panels at the monster bluegrass and old-time music festival we're holding in Roanoke (which you can read about here, by the

Longish hair? It reminds me of the devout Conservative in graduate school who wore his hair long because, for men, hair-cutting as a bit too cosmetic, and therefore, against the natural law. He did,

Channel 29 came by today for some comments on the WJMA FM move to Midlothian. I'm told it should be on tonight at 6 and maybe 11. Flame me if you don't like the comments. The reporter was fishing for

Here's an item from the VARTV.COM site. Note the last sentence. Ross ................................................................. .:: FLS' lead in Fredericksburg shrinks significantly WBQB...

<< The melancholy fact is that, whatever the programming element is, it has to be something people want enough to listen to it in significant numbers.>> - Seth's right. Broadcasting plays and

Not exactly what I meant. I think the average PD would tell you that such a project wouldn't draw enough listeners to justify the expense, that's all. Even if you could do it for nearly free, I

Just to clarify my original post on theatre - 1) It would cost big bucks above and beyond normal station costs to air a complete production 2) The whole purpose of my proposals were ways to make the
