Organ's Column

Did you guys read it today? Pretty interesting stuff about 106.7 and the Sports Night situation. Probably nothing you didn't know, I didn't expect to see it in the Tennessean.
 
Mike Organ has proven himself to be nothing more than an idiot with a typewriter. That column is a joke.

Remember the days when he had nothing but good things to say about SportsNight and he would bash Plaster & Company all the time? Well, well, now that his butt-buddy Joe Biddle got fired from SportsNight, he launched an all-out diatribe against Cumulus.

Oh, and someone please explain to this guy that increasing the power of a radio station (legally) is a little more complicated than flipping a switch. Mike, if you read this (and I do believe you do), it requires months (sometimes years) of paperwork with the FCC, especially when there is another Class A FM (WDXE-Lawrenceburg) on the same frequency in the proximity.

I have no ties to "The Fan". I don't care if it goes away or not. What makes me mad is when someone with no knowledge of the industry thinks he knows it all and spits out a bunch of crap in the newspaper to all of its readers (the dozens of them that still subscribe to that fishwrap).

I seriously wish I had his job. I could take the b.s. that I spout on here, put it on paper, and get paid for it.

Pay no attention to that man at 1200 Broadway. The world would be better off without morons like this having access to the mass media.

(Mike, it's not so nice when you're the target, is it? Remember that.)

Most media columnists don't understand broadcasting. During my time in Nashville, I've seen only two that had a working knowledge of radio and TV: Greg Bailey at the Banner, and Matt Pulle at the Scene. None of the others got it.

I used to laugh when Vanderbilt profesors would write about broadcast media and so obviously didn't know what they were talking about. During my own forays into print, I'd try to tell our editors that their "media writers" had it wrong, but to no avail. It was as if they didn't want to understand how the radio and television business really works.

BTW, the Tennessean is at 1100 Broadway.

Yes, you are correct. Typo on my part.

Mike is a little on the soft cell side when it comes to SAT scores, but he's an alright guy that has been hired to do something he isn't capable of. The idiots are the sports editors who hire him to do a job like this and give him 30 minutes a week to do it and never look into the accuracy of his writing.

Remember they guy they had before, Ivan Aronin he was worse. Yes, Worse.
