Whazzup with Lynne is she on the air anywhere in Tampa/St. Pete? What was the real deal on what happened to the show?
 
The real deal was that one of the Chix got the station de-listed from Arbitron for diary fraud, and they were fired.

That's about as real as it gets....
 
And when you consider that they got fired from a show that was essesntially brokered... that's real bad.
 
I coulda been a sportschick. I even remember Wally Hilgenberg and Wade Boggs' mustache.
 
ummm.....The reason Lynne Austin is not on air is because she was reportedly busted for having a hand in filling out Arbitron diaries at CBS. You are obviously referring to the Leslee Lacey reference, which had nothing to do with the Chix show being canceled. That’s the travesty of this site..a bunch of uninformed idiots without any credible info write whatever they want. After Lacey was taken off air, the show continued…"then" CBS found out by arbitron that Lynne Austin had a hand in filling out three diaries, months before the Lacey fiasco. And Anthony Fordyce was reportedly involved as well in that scandal. He was a member of the Sportchix too as their producer and part owner, and so that’s why the show was axed.
 
As usual on this site, rumour runners DtotheJ and parttimer are clueless of the whole story...lol

"And when you consider that they got fired from a show that was essesntially brokered... that's real bad."

Um, you can not get fired from a show that's brokered Einstein. To get fired you have to be an employee. Im glad someone brought up the rest of this story. I have heard the same thing. That the show was pulled from 1010 once Lynne got busted. What I want to know is why the heck Lacey didn't say anything about the rest of the crew. Maybe we would've known what really happened in the beginning instead of pointing the finger at "only" her. This has been REALLY bad reporting on Tom Jones' part. The guy should've spoken with her. Now it's obvious why no other reporter wrote anything.
 
Yes that is a good question. And if Jones did his job he would've had an accurate story. Anyone who knows the real deal as Tommy put it, knows Lacey took the public fall for what the whole team did. my guess is she probably was trying to protect Lynne, as they are friends. Well, probably "were" after this mess...and that’s why she didn’t say anything about the others. It would not have changed her situation except that people would have known it wasn't her that started the whole mess.

If Jones wouldve done his job professionally we wouldve at least got a quote or a no comment or something. Instead it's just bad journalism from the St pete Times. Apparently the other members begged her to keep her mouth shut, but then cut her from the website which she owned with them. Nasty. But the whole truth finally came out. Lynne was connected to three diaries and apparently was the one who came up with the bright idea in the first place, then Lacey followed suit.
 
That sucks. I liked that show. Who is Wade Boggs??? I found one of the crap blog links from the reporter.

The original blog implicates Lacey and says nothing about Austin, or the rest of the team. Jones is pretty entertaining and I know he had both Chix on his show. Maybe because he is on 1010 as a guest sometimes, he just took here-say as fact. Who the heck knows. But definatley not stellar reporting.

I wrote that they (the entire show) were dismissed for diary fraud. What exactly is inaccurate about that?

And since I'm a "rumor runner" please cite some other instances where I have been inaccurate...... go ahead.... I'll wait.....



Still waiting.......
 
This thread and others on the subject: Leslee Lacey takes fall for CBS 1010, Leslee Lacey on 1010, has generated a lot of first time posters. Hmmmmmmm, my conspiracy antenna is tingling...............

Anyone that knows Leslee Lacey knows that she got caught and took the rest of the group with her cuz thats her. I find it hilarious that all these random names come up on these boards with exact details of what happened. Hmmm... Sounds like someone might be trying to clear her name.
