Wow. I leave for three days and you all sound like you’re about to come to blows.

I’m going to leave more often ;)

Liturgical = pontifications = sermonic

Can I have an “Amen”?

It’s unforchinent that Citadel can’t get over what has happened to them sense March of 2007. This is capitalism at it’s best. I think Citadel needs to think of a constructive strategy to combat what has happened to them. For example, get contracts with other sports teams around the valley. Or just try to make their stations sound better then Peak. BTW, if you have read my previous posts about Peak Broadcasting, you know what I think of Kevin Godwin. I think he is a good man. I have worked for him as an intern and I would never bad mouth him. I was impressed at his ability to keep us at Peak all motivated and how much he cared about the employees. I would have know problem working for Peak again if I had to. I just think the folks at Citadel are acting like a bunch of 3 year olds when it comes to Peak Broadcasting. What do they all say? “Life’s a bitch. Build a bridge and get over it.” That’s what Citadel needs to here. I will talk to you later.

Ken- I think the term is not literal but liturgic (spelling) meaning everyone is a damn lawyer….

uh, I WAS joking…being a bit silly…yet reflecting the times, while poking fun at no one company in general. (thanks Jac, for knowing that!) So, Poopoo, your remark is irrelevant in this case…pull in your claws. I know we voicetrack at Journal..EVERYBODY voicetracks somewhere within their schedule. When I originally said what I said, I just envisioned some “big” talent being hired from out of market for the games, and thought of the crazy scenario of them actually voicetracking the game calls…and hoping their outcome matched the real game results….
oh, why did I even open my keyboard…we live in such a literal world.

Perhaps I should have used the term Cattlemen…. Nah.

I agree with boiseengineer….it would seem the economy is going to hell in a handbasket. But look on the brightside…When they lay off all the on air talent to save funds…the sales staff can voicetrack- then that delay will come in handy….

I kind of thought Ken was joking. I know I was. Have you ever heard a play by play with a 9 second delay while you’re watching it on tv at the same time? It’s pretty funny.

With the economy going to shit let’s see how long the live bodies last. A lot bigger markets than Boise have more VT’ing.
