And the award for the dumbest post...goes to CartDeck

I do applaud "The Blaze" for its success. And, I also applaud them for their hiring practices and taking a chance on this format when everyone else tried to say that you would never be able to sell that format in East Texas.

That's what they told me 15 years ago. Unfortunately, I could not get the investment money together to buy a station to try it. I knew that it could be done.

I have no issues with "The Blaze" whatsoever. I do have an issue with its parent company and the new format on 99.3. You guys had a chance to do something posiitive for the Black community, by doing a straight-up Urban AC format, and really cornering the market on those demos. I have always admired Robert Scorpio and thought he did an incredible job wherever he went as a PD/Jock. However, I don't know where he came up with this format?!

It is a slap in the face to all African-American adults who deserve a station that caters to them, without all the Hip-Hop and street lingo that you hear on The Blaze. I'm just terribly disappointed in Rusty and the direction the station has taken.

I have no disrespect whatsoever for "The Blaze". I applaud their success. With that being said, if V99.3 were a true Urban AC, you could have the best of both worlds. <P ID="signature">______________

You guys are right...this has gotten way out of control! We all have flexed our muscles and spit our venom and now lets move on! My olive branch is extended as well! Thanks to LA Breeze for starting the peace chain and thanks for the complements you gave to The Blaze! Snowman...Thank You for the kind words as well dog!...it is appreciated! And to the rest of you...Sorry if Rio and myself rubbed some of you the wrong way but we are very passionate about The Blaze and proud of the success the station has had because eveyone has worked very hard! I couldn't agree more with the one post that talked about Rusty and his hiring practices! He gets talented and knowledgable people...and best of all...they are LIVE! NOT Voice Tracked! You can see Blaze jocks all around town...These are the markets where the "next" generation of radio people should be coming from and he gives "us" that chance! The Blaze does radio! And as far as V goes...just hold on...it's still evolving...it WILL get better!

Mr. Murrow,

Do you have any airchecks from those stations you were on, or were you a board op :)
