LISTEN: “When He Didn’t Like Something, He Left”
Comedian Scott Long tries desperately to figure out my career(s) during this episode of his “Indy Podcast.” The deposition rolls past an hour, and there’s still plenty I left out. Scott’s final judgement: “you’re the roach of radio.” Eventually something will kill me, but if it happens tomorrow at least we have me on MP3 […]
Now, Stay Tuned For Sammy Terry
Congratulations Jeff Saturday!
It’s Not Breaking News, It’s A Special Report
Someone sent a link to some old(er) school WRTV severe weather coverage. Nothing street-level, but the always level headed Meteorologist Dave James joins anchor Greg Todd, & gets the most outta One Single Source. I’m guessing it’s early 90’s. Now if someone will post Bob McLain using magic markers and swooping in the 70’s, then […]
Yee Haw!
WRTV has once again called me on the carpet. I’ll be hosting the CMA Awards Show Red Carpet Preview Special (or a title roughly similar to that) 7:30 Wednesday night. There will also be live updates on the News at 6…maybe more, I don’t remember. Good thing there’s a producer for this thing. I did […]
Master Debaters
B.O. and JMac go at it again tonight. I’d enjoy it in HD on WRTV, if I probably wasn’t going to be asleep already. Tonight’s Designated Old Media/Old News Guy Host is Bob Schieffer. I was able to unearth a candid shot of Tom Brokaw getting ready for his performance in the last debate. clipped […]
Channel 8 Via Channel 6
WRTV General Manager Don Lundy is a long time indychannel blogger (he’s no OFF THE CUFF, but he has a reputation to protect) and he has an interesting discussion about the WISH TV versus Brighthouse Cable controversy. If you want the other side of the coin, go to the Brighthouse web site. clipped […]
WISH TV’s Plug Pulled
WISH-TV, our broadcast brother up Meridian Street, is owned by a company called LIN TV. That company is haggling with cable company Time Warner, which operates in the WISH coverage area. Because of that, for the moment, you can’t see WISH TV on TW’s cable properties. (BTW: Good time to sample “GOOD MORNING INDIANA” Monday […]
Secret HD Preview
My television home, WRTV/Indianapolis, starts producing “6NEWS” in HD this fall. Don’t tell anyone that I gave you a sneak peak at our new high-def weather graphics.
Summer Songs
There’s a guy I work with at WRTV also named Paul. Actually there are somewhere around a half dozen people at the station named “Paul.” It’s an odd statistical imbalance. I don’t run into a lot of Paul people outside of the building. Maybe I need to get out more? Boy, this post is rambling. […]
Show Us Your Bits
If this Post-Race post seems late…I was delayed by Ryan Briscoe, who kept cutting me off in the WRTV Parking Lot. We had words. If you’re looking for awesome, high-definition race coverage, forget it—ABC’s been there, done that. But I can offfer a couple of low-definition “500” related CUFF segments that you can try to […]
