So while back a former colleague of mine suggested listing with this outfit called access.com some sort of upscale news thing for and of broadcasting. All I can see is a bunch of pop music bullshit, and hardly if any response to a brief test ad that I posted thereupon. Not blowing trumpets for CraigsList or the response therefrom, but at least one got a phone call.
Course I can remember, putting things on for a few brief moments on KSL.com, guess what we got? Real working candidates, that knew their stuff and oh yes were not spooked about going to a persons house that was both a
studio as well as living quarters. Even when that housing was in a complex for, well, public housing. Hell
we even got Miss Rodeo Utah, there.
As far as my colleague from Lee family Broadcasting, her suggestion made no sense at all, her comments were ignored
and we keep on keeping on.
What I seem to run into and I’ve racked my cranium to find a solution, but that people in this valley despite noise that say otherwise do not want anything new here. Beit media, entertainment or even a heavy guy blowing over the big canyon over here that one years ago jumped.
I remember the big pitch session and that’s all it was, it was not no city council or other wise meeting as it was billed
it was in fact a pitch to the press as to here I am, and this is why ya’ll should let me jump the big ditch.
I remember running into one gal from Yahoo/ABC, more Yahoo, than ABC, there and I thought , “honey if you
want to know the truth about this area ask me, this is not going to happen as you see it.” This valley does not truly want a big media microscope looking it over. Nor does it want the massive crowds, or the increase in revenue, if it
means giving up the small town country image for a few weeks, nope don’t want it. It shows, slowconnect is good for internet, one TV station that swallows up any competition, and if they can’t buy you out, or step on you they behind the scenes trash you.
If your doing something out of the box the competition here will hammer you. Even if your buying em out. Example, two years ago, friend of mine Kim Lee, CEO Lee Family Broadcasting, and I get to talking about the Knytes buying up KBAR AM. Thought was KBAR, coupled to KDXB would be a good combination. About this time a club member
who used to work with Simmons broadcasting in Utah suggested we do Radio Disney here with KBAR.
No Kim converts the station to a Sports station carrying ESPN, rather than something even the conservative LDS
community would like a Radio Disney station. No we can’t do that people might like that, an increase in ratings and revenue. Kind of a can’t see the forest for the trees scenario. Then came the Reaper Club. Make contact with the Real Estate people, find place open, least for $3,000.00 start making plans, recruit help, but time to make the first payments and get serious, the owner decides no. We come away with egg on our face and an even worse reputation.
But if that wasn’t enough, finally think we are getting somewhere, gal says on a reply of our pin up girl ad she’s interested. Groovy. She comes over we have a pow-wow. Now here’s something to believe in, so I look at a place billed as $300.00 a month, pricey but in range.
When the owner comes back with a $450.00 per month price tag, Charlie says no. So did I. More bullshit.
The simple truth and its this way in every small town area in America , but the worst I have ever saw, here. If
your not kissing the six of one of the chosen klan, your orally doing another. I ain’t kissing the hiney or sucking the penus of anybody for any of this.
This is why Twin Falls will not gain any serious national credibility or fame.
Oh and news of residency, I get a washer and dryer in the new place.
In the next two weeks I’m in move mode, by March 1st Idaho will be a bitter memory, happy to forget.
L8R Ya’ll
