It's still state-run media no matter what happens.

That was awesome. Great job, Sam. Who cares what other people with greater resources did? You did what you did.

Is Dave now working somewhere else, then? If not, and he's chosen to not do so, then "retires" is an appropriate word, regardless of in what manner he initiated it.

Terry Camp hopped between 5 and 25 once...perhaps twice. Don't believe he was ever on 12, though. Bondy was at 5 at one time as well, before parking it at 25.

Those reels were still lying around WIOG in a supply closet in the 90s, and they still sounded excellent!

RTV4-04 Everything is what you make of it. I can think of 4 people from my graduating class, including myself, who had/have a career in broadcasting. There may be more, but not many more. I don’t have any illusions about Specs Howard. I know they were better at marketing themselves than they were a...

"The art of pitching is strong...the ball comes out of that same key hole." How the hell did we go from Ernie and Paul to this?
