"Live Broadcast on TennesseeSportsNet.Com....Professional, Impartial broadcast in FM Quality!! Hope you give us a click. Thanks!"
Duane, I don't think the guy was picking on the broadcast team, I just think he was giving his site a pitch...and I don't blame him. We do web work and I pitch mine on different sites all the time. This guy worked with Dean Johnson for awhile at schoolsportsradio.com, grabbed his idea, and started his own thing. I think Dean tried to pitch him something to do and stole the idea, the format, and went his own way. Some people are just that way. Although it gets little traffic, the web world is just full of so many options, and is a tough racket. It is a shame however that the list of online radio coverage for high schools is so small. You and Trevor know we do it in the horse business for a living and its a constant mad dash to the next best idea. Dean and I did a horse show last night from MTSU's Miller Arena on a pay per view project to twice the number that were sitting in the stands. Last year our daughter who cheers wanted us to try doing a high school game because with our show commitments I was sometimes unable to attend. Dean routed us a dedicated stream, and it just took one game to convince me Mt. Pleasant had a huge following, not only in the stands, but out there somewhere where the broadcast didn't reach. Kim and I both were raised here and she more than I knew MPHS had a dedicated fan following...even outside of parents and other family...but never did we expect to see the traffic it drew. The greedy side of me took over and thats when we put the advertising options on. Believe me...our advertisers love hearing the cannon blast. We have two new ones coming on this week...for the rest of the Football and all of basketball. I don't know about most towns, but Mt. Pleasant is pretty unique.
The only comment I might have is the comment about professional/impartial. If you and Trevor were professional and impartial I for one wouldn't want to listen. Any monkey can ride the fence. Your show is a huge draw and thats why we had such a huge interest on streaming MPHS games, and them only. We have been contacted by several schools and just pass them along because... guess what...we like being partial. My Christian love for all those who visit our beloved city wishes you all the best...safety to and from your homes...but when ya'll hit that field, and the cannon goes to blowing, and the jungle drums go to beating...I tend to enjoy a bit of common sense...a little unprofessionalism with Christian limits, and a whole lot of partiality. When Marco Daily runs down that field I don't want to hear how great the guys are doing running behind him...I want to hear...how the whislte blew for a time out so the other coach can send in some fresh humans that can catch their breath.
Just my thoughts!
