I like Tim Lones because.....

It's now time for me to pay tribute to one in my own backyard. Tim Lones writes a blog called Cleveland Classic Media. It's an extension of one of his hobbies and that's old television and radio. Tim and I are very much alike but the main difference in our blogs is he puts a lot of research into his.

Even though we consider each other very good friends, we have never met face to face. Our virtual meeting was on radio-info.com, where we were posting with media professionals. We both have posted on the Cleveland, classic television, and religious(sometimes referred to in the back of my mind as the holier than thou)boards. I was very impressed with Tim's knowledge of TV that we both watch as we were growing up. And the both of us have impressed the professionals for our knowledge of the mediums.

Tim works hard in the writing of his blog and has the respect of many industry people for his work. He has a collection of old TV Guides and sometimes will post schedules from the past. You go over to his blog and you might see what was on 40-50 years ago. Even though he has respect of professionals, he credits me for a lot of his inspiration. The feeling from me is mutual since if he didn't give me an example to follow posting on the message boards I may have never started blogging.

I urge everybody to go to Cleveland Classic Media and check out his hard work. Even if you don't live in the area, I think you will see why I admire his efforts.

I like Tim too! He is so informative and I have to say that I have learned quite a bit from visiting his blog.

Great Work Tim!
Please continue to keep us up to "par" with the classics!

Tim,

Thank you for your comment and remember that you have had a lot to do with the progress of this blog.

Are you looking to do a faith based blog like Seek Him First?

Hey! This isn't funny. It's the third time with the word verification and this is my blog!

My original Idea was to do another broadcasting-based blog, consisting more of my own opinions and thoughts of the industry today..I even had a cool name for it.."Broadcast Bytes"..However, after thinbking it over, The concept was rather limiting..I decided to go for more of a general interest type blog..While the blog may not be "faith-based", as such, I want it to be more about life day by day with me and my wife..I still reserve the right to write about broadcast-related topics and opinions, however..As the Lord may lead I will also write about our faith and our church, etc..Thanks for any suggestions..

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...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
