The Idaho Daily Statesman has a Q&A with new Peak Broadcasting/Boise State play-by-play announcer Bob Behler. Here’s hoping he talks in the booth more than he did to the paper.

The Idaho daily Statesman’s guide for newcomers is out .

Idaho Daily Statesman entertainer Mike Deeds says that BCRP will cover Boise. So there… it’s solved then.

The Boise Burn held its annual media football game yesterday - and darn it if those poor kids from the Idaho Daily Statesman didn’t find yet another way to get beat.

Oh brother.
An obituary for a dog that ran in the obituary section of the Sunday Idaho Statesman was published inadvertently, Statesman Sales and Marketing Director Travis Quast said.

Idaho Daily Statesman columnist Mike Deeds dredged up the strength to write one of those rare columns-on-a-local-topic this week - and looks back at entertainment in the Treasure Valley.

The Idaho Daily Statesman now has a blog page. It features the latest entries from the paper’s in-house bloggers… and links to 17 other local blogs. Guess what one of those blogs is? Umm. Yeah. I don’t get why they’d do that either. But thanks. (Oh, and I just checked the […]
