actually, you know i rarely throw softballs… i tend to favor molotovs.

don was one of the first gm’s to blog … and actually engaged the commenters there (starting like 4-5 years ago!).

pretty cool for an old dude.

True, tdc, and yes, Don Lundy has been very supportive of our efforts, too. Thanks for tossing me that softball to swing at.

#2,

that’s because your gm lets you guys run flat out… he kinda got this thing early on, wouldn’t you say?

btw- that ancient hawaiian furtility dance you did recently… excellent!

Jim Ogle, the GM at that station, has always been a big proponent of web efforts going back many years.

Stations that win weather on the web, especially during a big event, go a long way to solidifying their future relevance and will flourish.

We had staggering usage in Indianapolis during record flooding that hit part of Indiana — numbers I wouldn’t have believed were possible.
