A Local website

I can't let this go with out bringing to someones attention what little back stabbing , petty , insecure people are in radio. Well at least here in Denver that is.
The following website DenverRadio.net is just as petty and misinformed on many topics as is your left wing looney bin sites.
Case in point, the recent trashing of KNUS radio. Granted Knus is not the biggest nor the largest station here in Denver, nor will it be due to the Mighty Blowtorch 850. However the postings of certain individuals on this site and by certain employees friends to trash certain broadcasters is amazing.
Lets take thier comments on the news. Some seriouse nonliking of the format and blaming of talent without just cause. First to address the format. The format is decided upon by the news director. He determines of an evening what stories he wants to air in the next mornings broadcast. So sure some of the stories will be old and not fresh. Secondly the News director decides on how many stories will be in each short segment. Listening and timing out the Top and Bottom of the hour segments you have a total of 4 stories plus sports weather and traffic updates on the top and two plus traffic/weather on the bottom. They also have a live read (ad to do) and commercial to play. So the news segments are short and brief. For certain posters on Denver Radio.net to claim a story lasted 90 seconds is ASSINE/absurd. This person also claimed what the story was.....lol. Doing my homework I found out that the story in question..About Mayor Hickenlooper was a 27.9 second story and did lead a couple top of the hour segments.
Next lets address the issue of who owns this website and who patronizes on a daily basis. The owner has self motivation to dog on the station as he has a couple of shows that air on the radio group. Now with certain aspirations and lack of talent this person is making waves that he need not do.
Other posters want to talk about lack of coverage. Again this is predetermined by the news director and out of the hands of others. Yes many stories are recorded and loigged into the computer for play. That is done to give the listeners a differant voice on the air during the segments. As to the sound bites that are played, like all stations they are clipped from either the A.P. or CNN, Fox news websites. Seeing how most radio stations can not afford a large international nor national news team to go and cover stories. So stories are downloaded from the net. This is how many things work. Again bottom line ...IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T LISTEN.
