Hi....I'm hoping this succeeds but the reality is it's not going to.
There are multiple sites on the internet (ubroadcast.com for one)
that will set anyone of us up to do the same deal. CSW:It IS NOT a radio station.
I consider myself a big fan of radio. I have slowed down lately,because
local sportstalk is not what it used to be. I am still not going to sit in
front of my computer and turn on CSW for 3 hours or so. It's just
not the same. Bottom line....no radio frequency,no listeners!!
I think,what they may end up doing is brokering radio time on some
low watt station and putting the whole lineup on there.
Just my 2 cents.

Don't tell that to David Spada. You'll ruin his day.

I still always find humor in the fact that a group of people who spend hours upon hours talking sports on the internet feel that no one will listen to sports radio on the internet.

The key will be if the programming is any good and if the distribution model is sound. If this thing can somehow get on AOL radio or another major internet radio syndication network it will succeed.

I've pretty much been listening to Hood and Doyle since their show started today.

You may very well be correct, sir; I won't even argue the point. For me, I'm just looking at the guy behind this particular venture and the long list of poor programming, bad decisions, and other assorted disasters he's been associated with in the last few years and asking is he really the guy to take this where you say it can go?

Mike has just made himself such an easy target. If someone else was doing this, I might just look at it and say, hmmm, interesting, maybe it'll work. Seeing North's name on it seems to put it in a whole different realm for me. And if you tell me North's not really in charge, who is? A guy who runs a medical-staffing agency? Jesse Rogers, a guy who can't even utter cliches about trees falling in a forest or snowballs rolling downhill without screwing them up? BeBe North? Please.

That is all true. I wouldn't exactly be making bets on Mike North to be the one to succeed.

Someone is going to do it though. They will find the right business model and the right time. I used to think XM radio would be the ones to do it until they showed complete ineptitude. Satellite radio + internet distribution of content for a monthly fee is a compelling package if you ask me.

But 670 and MVP are on the net already, along with other REAL stations with REAL TALENT. Why listen to half ass talent and has-been's?

Somehow these guys can't figure out that out of sight is out of mind.
North never had a mind to lose anyway.

THE ONE GUY I DO NOT MISS IS THE MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS..... JACK OFMAN.
