Woody Nelson Scam?

If we were in the USAF, we would call what he is doing a classic **** storm. Woody is simply doing what has worked for him in the past: bloviation, obfuscation and intimidation. In the case of the MO AG, I wonder why he is pursuing civil sanctions against Woody and not criminal charges.

By the way, I would rather you not post links on your FB page to any of my comments on this board, please. Feel free to repost the links to the FCC or the GA Secretary of State, but post them yourself without any reference to me as your source. I am not an attorney, a CPA or any other type of professional who might be considered to have an expert opinion. I am just a former air personality and a hopefully well-informed layman, who happens to have encountered Woody Nelson on a sleepless night.
 
Regarding a short-sale, or any sale involving WSBX, the station will be required to return to the air before the FCC will consider a license transfer. Under current FCC rules, silent licenses cannot be transferred.

I thought this was so. In fact, I knew it is so; but I could not come up with a ready citation when I posted earlier. In any case, it should be common sense that it would be so. The clock ought to be runinng out on WSBX having to either get on the air or throw in the towel. I'm betting on the towel.

Mr. Blood aka Woody Nelson HAS put this property up for sale a few times since late 2008, usually via Craigslist. Not sure why he would, since Doreen Blood is the owner. These "for sale" posts would then mysteriously disappear. I would guess this is just another delusional element, just like claiming that she was one of the original Mouseketeers(!). And why anyone with a normal thinking apparatus would come up with that is one for the shrinks.
So Doreen buys this station on the cheap for sonny boy, only he has no idea what he's doing (and would never admit it) and promptly runs it (for lack of a better description) into the ground. I think this forum's archives are filled with his excuses as to why he never got it on the air. The ones that weren't outright laughable never checked out.
His escapades with Cabo Wabo/Shadoe Stevens will have to wait for another forum topic. Most probably the Missouri AG will address them during Mr. Blood's trial. Unless, he pleads guilty and pays the man with Doreen's money. Again.
 
"So Doreen buys this station on the cheap for sonny boy"

Not quite! Try 280k!! For a station that might - might - be worth 30 grand if it was on the air...if she took out a loan to pay for it, there's no way she could afford to sell it unless she could come to the table with about a quarter-million to make up the difference...if she turns the license in, she owes the money without an asset to back it. It's a mess any way you look at it...

... but you forgot, Woody told us he had lined up "several" FM translator(s) for his "Hot Talker" WSBX (which he said was in Tallahassee, even though everyone reading knows that is not possible.) So maybe this station would be worth a few thousand more if they could get it back on the air... with a FM translator that covered Thomas county.
On the other hand, there are a whole lot of radio stations in the area.

Is there an Hispanic "Rush Limbaugh"?
Click to expand...

I don't believe there is one. And, although I have not conducted an exhaustive research campaign regarding this topic, I have a few Hispanic friends, and I posed the question once, asking if a Hispanic news-talk radio format would attract a big enough listening audience to make the format economically viable. I was told that the average Hispanic individual prefers music and has no interest in news or talk radio, and those few who do listen to talk radio, prefer to listen to news-talk radio in English. This may explain why there is no current Hispanic "Rush Limbaugh".
 
In other words, Woody was going to program a non-existent format for a non-esistent audience on his (non-existent) station. I do recall he was planning to dominate the market by attracting Hispanic listeners on this "Hot Talker" of his.
 
I cannot comment or speculate on Steven Blood's A/K/A Woody Nelson's intent. I am only passing along what I was told by a close Hispanic friend of mine regarding Spanish language news-talk programming.
 
There is/was a way to move this station closer to Tallahassee. However, with the AM's already IN Tallahassee struggling, I can't see the point. As for the 280K price, this facility has some real estate with it, and pretty nice (rural) real estate from what I recall.

As for Woody's own delusions, only Woody (or perhaps his Mom) could explain that. ::)
 
Let me put on my swami hat here and peer at the coffee stains on this napkin .... Ah .... Yes! I see the license being vacated and the property sold piece-by-piece. The station will never go on the air again. The current licensee can't bring it back, and I rather doubt anyone else is willing to try. As to what the property is worth ... it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. In today's economy, even choice real estate may not bring a high offer.

You are probably correct. One thing I have wondered about: Is this assclown actually living in the radio station???
 
Stereolane:

I visited this station several years ago, when it was WJEP, under the previous owners, Lifeline Ministries. They were in the process of dumping their music library and going to the Skylight Satellite Network for a lot of their programming. I bought their library, incidentally. The late Jimmy Keaton, who founded Lifeline, was a friend of mine. I know someone who still does some work for Lifeline and he is as fine a gentleman as they come. Lifeline is out of the radio business completely.

The real estate was just under 8 acres off of Highway 84 between Thomasville and Ochlocknee. That's in the neighborhood of 40 miles from me, as I am in Leon County east of Tallahassee. At
10kw (then) it put a listenable, but not great, signal into Tallahassee. They were using a Harris MW10A transmitter, and the tower was located adjacent to the station.

When it was built in 1984, the station was pretty much a state-of-the-art facility for that time. There were two buildings: one for the station, offices and transmitter and another for supplies which they used for their other ministries. The storage building was climate-controlled.

I used to manage one of the Tallahassee AMs, a 5kw AM daytimer. It was a tough market, and has been for a long time. Of the four AMs licensed to Tallahassee, two play black gospel, one is Catholic EWTN and the fourth one is Sports "The Team." The Team is the only one with a rating at all.

If I could have financially done so, I would have been interested in purchasing WJEP when it was first being offered by Lifeline. Jimmy Keaton had passed away, the station had been damaged by lightning, and they had deemed it just too expensive to continue with. It needed a new transmitter, and had been neglected during later years.

It has now not put a signal into Tallahassee in over four years. It would be extremely difficult to survive as a Tallahassee station. A serious owner would be better off having it serve Thomasville-Cairo-Ochlocknee after finding out what the folks there perceive to be a format hole.

The one Spanish station is 1 10kw daytimer in Chattahoochee. It generally bills less than $10,000 per YEAR, in case someone wants to jump on that gravy train.

What has happened with WSBX is heartbreaking to me.

Any doubts as to why WJEP (or WSBX) wasn't able to "make it" is most probably due to the the complete lack of talent of Steven Blood/Georgia Triangle Broadcasting/Woody Nelson.
Witness this video clip. Hard to believe that a MIDDLE AGED MAN actually spent the time videotaping and then uploading this clip:

Cowboy Bills bar in Key West should sue him just for being associated with such juvenile dreck.
Does Doreen know he's playing with stuffed animals? Again?

Are they actively trying to sell WTCL? If so, any idea what the asking price is? I'm just crazy enough to like Chattahoochee... I wonder if they let the inmates have radios? ...just have to figure out who would want to pay to advertise to inmates and insane people... maybe drug companies?
 
Poledo: sent you a PM.

Anybody know what mentioned as the justification of shutting it down in the STA app?

Anybody know what became of the "pending litigation" that we were threatened with for posting disparaging remarks in this public forum that the Woodster believed were causing all his problems and hurting the value of his flamethrower? The remarks that weren't disparaging at all, they were just our observations to try to get Woody grounded and to offer him advice to keep him from loosing everything...

Too bad he didn't pay attention to us... he started posting (bragging?) before the WJEP sale closed and he bought his baby.... he had a chance to get out of the deal and just lost his earnest money.

Good Luck Woody.
