Stop the insanity!

I've been getting very irritated at some of the posts at the Listening Party over the past couple of days. First you have JimOhioLottery(pick 3) thinking he's the Trivisonno of that particular venue, posting things that you would only think someone who was delirious would be posting. Then you have the real Mike Trivisonno spewing about all the imbeciles in the "chat room" and mentions Jim by name. You know one has to be hard up for content for a show on a 50,000 watt station when he wants to stir up the posters on an internet forum. Triv, if you can't do better than that, go home and play poker on the internet.

Along with Jim's posts come unsavory responses from those who want to egg him on. I'm all for first amendment rights, but this come along the lines of "yelling fire in a crowded theatre".

And when these asinine posts get more intense, people like newsnomore, Bizdecision, and others quit posting. Some of these folks are not only my friends, but they also have insights in the business having been there at one time themselves.

Good posts get buried in nonsense, and the attention is given to stupidity.

Feel free to comment but remember this: I have the ability to delete any comment that I feel is inappropiate. First amendment rights do not apply here. I am the dictator of this blog.

Update: The triv quote in question is during the Wednesday program 6:00 hour (hour 4) about 6 minutes into the hour on the podcast.

Stop Whining

posting something interesting instead of whining like a wussy.

i happen to think that JimOhio123etc has the most insight into radio than anyone on that board and has the courage to speak the truth, always accompanied with wit, gentleness, candor, humor, dignity, class, and accuracy!

so instead of whining, post something on that board instead of good mornings and nonsense like that

Hey "Jim", thanks for posting. Wannabe. If you had any real talent in this industry, you would have a career in it. Plain and simple.

I am taking a break from the Listening Group. I am not going to post on it for a while. I will still read it, but a break is needed...much like OMW. Look for me in the Brunswick or Television forums. Excellent post Cliff!

Jim is a racist!

Great post WIXY. I still stop by Listening Party but I hardly ever post. There's way too much BS and not nearly enough actual radio talk. What little radio talk there is centers almost exclusively on Triv or WTAM. I've watched Listening Party go from a great place to talk radio to pretty much a joke. It's sad.

Good call. I haven't posted hardly anything on the "Listening Party" in a long time because the Triv talk is just old and boring. He eats on the air. He's fat and boring. He hates the traffic guy. He has a novice for Kim Mihalik's replacement who was also a novice herself. Blah-blah-blah. Same old, same old.

And then we get to read that Jim from Medina writes things like he wonders why he is still single and he writes that his posts are amazing and intelligent.

In short, JimMedina123 has made the "Listening Party"...

-boring

-stupid

-and not worth reading.

JimMedina123 is still single because...

-he hasn't moved out of his mom's basement.

-minimum wage hasn't caught up with the stadard of living increase over the last couple of decades.

-the animals roaming around on the property have taken up too much of his time.

Memo to self: Brilliant analysis of a message board troll.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
