A Few Observations of The Past Week..

Just a few random thoughts from the past few days:

*18 degrees is cold, especially in a mobile home with no furnace.

*Wild Adventures is still a lot of fun. We enjoyed seeing country acts The Wreckers along with Billy Currington this past Saturday.

*Society places a lot of "importance" on careers. With so many radio veterans losing their jobs and having no place to go, one of us needs to create a company of some kind to help the others have something meaningful to do, that helps pay the bills.

*It would be nice if these folks looking for copywriters would be polite enough to at least let you know when and if they've hired someone. One gig I applied for in January never sent a response of any kind. So, at least I know who NOT to write for.

*I have a format hole/idea that I proposed to Sirius Satellite Radio some time back. They never responded, yet when this format ran in Tallahassee, it was the number 8 station in the market.
I'm wondering, if I were to build a new station (internet only, due to costs) if there would be the same amount of support, in order to run it as a PRO (i.e., advertiser-supported) station, targeted towards the local area? I assure you, this format does NOT exist in Tallahassee.
It would cost roughly $258 a month in expenses, including a DSL line, streaming fees and music licensing, and would require one additional computer.

*It might be simpler to put my ideas to rest, buy a rocker, and chill on the front porch.
