No Live Radio At Grundy Games

[LAfan]

By the way the only reason Cable TV is charged rights fees is because TSSAA the money hungry non profit organization that it is has a deal with videosports or some company to produce tapes to sell of State championship games and basketball tourneys.

It is a fact coaches listen. Several years ago Jim Ragland at TTU asked me about a player ironically at Marion Co. I had broadcasted a playoff game. He heard it. The kid was Brian Janaway. By the way he went to TTU. One of very few Marion or Grundy players I remember going on to college football.

If you say it happened then I'll go along with it. It's just not something I've ever experienced. I've always had coaches wanting film or to see the kid in person. This sounds like the coach was already familier Janaway and wanted to keep up with him. So I guess in that sense it would help. But he could also get that info off tape delay.

 

As for Grundy kids going on to college we've had several. Our trouble seems to be getting them to stay. Many come home after a couple of weeks for whatever reasons.

Is that what started the fee? You got proof of that? I'd love to know those details. Sounds like what probably happened. Lord knows they want their money.

I heard that there is a pirate radio station out of Beersheba Springs that's going to be doing the Grundy County games.

Del,

if the stations are in the same city/county then they already pay a rights fee. They are called taxes.

 

Some would say fourth grade, Del.

 

I just think that rules imposed on radio stations at high school football games are imposed because certain people think that they know everything there is to know about how media affect games. They don't. This isn't the 1950's.

I personally think it is pretty low (and childish) to not allow live radio broadcast of the games, especially to the visiting team. There's still quite a few people who have to work while the game is being played. I believe it is called 2nd shift. Do they not deserve to to listen to a broadcast of their team? Some people are not able to travel to the games because of health problems with themselves or family. DO THEY NOT DESERVE TO HEAR THE GAME? I really thought this was a free country, but I guess we still have small pockets of dictatorships.

Could not agree with you more,this is supposed to be a free country.

They still can hear the game. The next day on tape delay. No one said they couldn't broadcast. Just not live.

 

Again, I hope someone makes sure Page, Sequatchie, Sequoyah and Walker Valley are prepared. The last three should know since they've been here since Coach Colquette came. Page however has never been here. So I hope someone passes the word to their folks.

Del, As I mentioned earlier I am really afraid that Sequatchie County might not even have there games on radio at all the way the radio station has been going I haven't heard anything that would suggest that but just a feeling. Dunlap always tape delayed it on Saturday mornings no (live) feed. A week or so ago one of the dj's said on the radio talking with another dj about college football said he doesn't follow football. :justwrestle:

I don't think you have to worry about Page Del. AM-950, which would cover the Page game if they were going to (that's a big if) I believe will have Nascar that night. I think the Busch guys will be at Bristol so that has priority over HS Football. Plus, I think they'd probably be going live from Lincoln County with Franklin if they were to do a week 0 game. They do a different WilCo game every week.
