BAS does it again - Longtime WLEC Sports Director / Announcer CANNED!

(wringing hands beating on desk) A WARNING SPELLS DOOM BUT WHO CARES NO ONE IS LISTENING ANYMORE ANYWAY BECAUSE THE BIG BAD BALLADS & HOT AFTERNOON SWING IS NO LONGER! I SEE THOSE 4 MINUTE NON SWING SONGS TAKE UP A NICE LENGTH OF AN EMPTY COMMERCIAL BREAK! I ALSO SEE MOST OF YOUR "HIGH PAYING CLIENTS" SPOTS HAVE OUT CUES OF "...AND THE AD COUNCIL".
IT TAKES SOME REAL CREATIVITY TO GET ON THERE AND SAY "THAT WAS A TIMELESS FAVORITE FROM GLENN CAMPBELL CALLED RHINESTONE COWBOY HERE ON YOUR AUTOMATED HOME FOR TIMELESS FAVORITES AND NOW WE'LL HEAR HALF A TIMELESS FAVORITE BECAUSE IT WILL BE DUMPED OUT FOR NEWS SINCE THERE'S NO ONE HERE TO BACK TIME OR PUT IN AN INSTRUMENTAL. HERE'S 90 SECONDS OF THE LONG VERSION OF DON MCCLEAN'S AMERICAN PIE ON YOUR HOME FOR TIMELESS FAVORITES."

THAT IS ALL.

How many of you Ohio School of Broadcasting grads even know the difference between a "watch"--when conditions are favorable for a storm event..and a "warning"--which is issued when a tornado or other event is imminent, or has been actually seen by a trained storm spotter..

I sure hope you meant Ohio Center for Broadcasting, as I am a graduate of the WIXY School of Broadcast Technique, which later became the Ohio School of Broadcast Technique.

I knew the difference between a watch and a warning. It was explained by one of my classmates. I think his name was Marconi.

But the more I read these boards, the more I realize that people fight change with all their being and don't want the better mousetrap.

Wait a second... I was a member of the last class of the Ohio School of Broadcast Technique. I was there ...when one day walking to class...I saw the the federal bankruptcy sign on the door. That was 1991. I think we spent more time painting rooms than anything else, lol! Seriously.. I did learn a lot from Darrell. Though the knowledge didn't "click" until I was at CSB about 6 months later. All in all...between both schools... I got about 18 months of schooling. I was about 6 months ahead of my comrades at CSB.

I don't believe there's anyone from my CSB class in radio fulltime....I think I was the only one to "make it"...ie... Top 25 or better... and now I'm beached LOL! Not sure if any are in parttime. The day class at CSB included LeeAnn Sommers.

I was taught by good solid broadcasters like Ken Morgan, Nephew Kenny and others.

My instructors included Joel Rose, Les Levine, Steve Lushbaugh, and Billy Black. Ira Rubins was education instructor, and Bill Clark was general manager of the school.

We were located at 3940 Euclid Ave., down the hall from the WIXY studios. Marty Allen, Triv's producer, graduated from the Ohio School of Broadasting. He told me the school was still at that location when he went there.

None of my classmates made a splash in the industry, at least not in the Cleveland market.
