TSN too risque for me

Have to agree with Mike on this one, especially when you consider what station TSN news feeds air on, in this market. Not a good thing for a school district station to have had on their signal.

Now if KEOM didn't have TSN newsfeeds, I might be willing to slide a little more center to accepting it.
 
To bypass a story of this sort due to "propriety" would be of the great disservice to the public. Being retired from law enforcement I can state that a cellular phone in the possession of an inmate in the state penal system is a breach of security of the most major proportions. It is unthinkable that anyone passed on this story.
 
TSN is terrible!! They didn't even report on where he kept the charger...

ROFL!!! That's how they caught the guy; he had a wall wart and a cord hanging out the back of his pants. ;D

No, please don't go there. I know what you're thinking.

As for bluze1, sure, it's an important story; the problem is the way it was told.
 
The (w)hole problem would have never occured were it not for archaic TDCJ-ID policies dating to the 1800's.

When I attended SHSU I always listened to TSN. Nowadays, not so much.

The terminology used neither offended me or would it make me smile. It is what it is.
 
This guy should be checked for pre-cancerous lesions. If that thing was on, he'd be grilling his hiney inside.

You'd think they could have found it with a simple RF sniffer.

Chargers are so small now he could keep that there, too.
Do they have AC outlets in prison?
I would hope the charger had the fold-down ac socket spades, not fixed-and-sticking out. Ouch.

I'm assuming he had the phone on vibrate, as even the loud ring would be "somewhat muted".

That's a weak comparison, considering TV shows have program content ratings, like movies do. Radio doesn't have such a system.

That's not true. Cell phones do not emit enough RF for that to happen. Otherwise, lots of cases of brain cancer would be showing up in people who use cell phones. There is no significant study that confirms cell phones cause cancer.

In fact, most cell phones today emit far less RF than a typical cordless land-line phone.
 
This story and others regarding prisoners with cell phones made headlines all over the Houston area, it was not simply a kicker story... While I see what Mike was trying to say in his original criticism, I can't say that I wouldn't have used a similar line had I been behind the mic.

I'm really still trying to figure out how to work in a reference to his using a "hands free device" though.

It also reminds me of when I was on the air at KJCS in Nacogdoches many years ago and had to do the weather right after TSN closed out a newscast with "Scientists today discovered new rings around Uranus...(you can imagine how they pronounced it...)
