Stone Cold Sports Truth

A new LOCAL sports talk show on WAAM. The host, Derek Stone, is a board operator and call screener at the station. I think it's great that he's been given this opportunity. The time slot of 6AM on Saturday won't likely lead to a lot of listeners, but he can hone his skills and hopefully move on to a better time slot.

Joe Gagnon, The Appliance Doctor, has him do a sports recap on his show on Saturday in the 8AM hour as well. Seems like a good kid and the program is worth a listen.
 
I'm not. One of the few that have real local ownership and the kid has worked there for six years. Thayrone and Linda strike me a decent people, and perhaps didn't have a high revenue generator for that slot, so they're letting him try it.

If they get a decent paying brokered program willing to pay for that slot it might be over, but I think it's great he's on.
 
Those of us who are old enough remember that most of us got into the business through the side door. I wish him well.
