Well I have been threatened by the big guy, so I am done with this thread. i will say this though i think the channel is terrible now and i won't watch it. it seems most of the people i run with and talk with feel the exact same. it doesn't matter it will remain the same and it will continue being below mediocre so keep running off the people that viewers from here and roane county like to watch.

you work in the media, you need thick skin. it may be your opinion that you do a good job getting region-based people on the air but you do not. maybe you should focus on getting people who have a broad knowledge of sports and realize these are kids out there. it is very obvious that most of the people on "your" station hold grudges and aren't very professional. that's my opinion and it's my right to express it. sorry you all can't hang up on me here on these boards.

judging from talks with tank, that will never happen. I think something was brought up a few weeks ago but the owner said he didn't want him on the air anymore after this saturday thing is over.

well I am biased, since I work with Tank at the paper but I am glad the channel is going through this. I saw the show Friday and what those two did was much worse than what Tank did to get "kicked" off of Wednesday night. Tank really worked hard for that channel and for the kids that watched it. It crushed him to lose that show and crushed him even more to have so-called friends stab him in the back. That station has an oak ridge address but anderson county schools get shafted. They should really go back to Roane County because the teams and players from that area get much better coverage. I have read this site a long time (it's wonderful) but never got involved with posting. I had to jump on this one. Tank told me what was going on, why in the world he sticks up for channel 12 is beyond me, but he does. He will probably get mad at me, but I run faster than he does so I don't care. SF
