    Is 'technical trouble' really the problem?

    well like most that go after that "gold ring" or want to play "star" in the big game there are temptations. too numerous to mention here, however yes i have a list that would be many of "acts" or "artists" or even "talent" that started off so, so right (pure energy, entertainment value, talent...

    Is 'technical trouble' really the problem?

    for now i would agree in that sw is a viable alternative in many markets. i have most all of the techie toys we all share i am sure, however i like to "take my radio to bed" with me! it's just comforting and yes even with all the technology, level of quality by streaming on a computer or...

    Is 'technical trouble' really the problem?

    just to let it be known...imo art is at the level of rush, savage, hannity, beck....he just wants to do it his way so he doesn't have to turn and burn his fans if he gets into a similar situation as in the past. the guy wants a balanced life... having been a self acclaimed work-a-holic myself...

    Is 'technical trouble' really the problem?

    to point this time around as to paint's comments. yes to wls or wind, however i believe what is happening, as art mentions in his comments, is he is offering a contractual arrangement and the big boys are coming back with their version as a compromise. i would believe that the independents can...

    Is 'technical trouble' really the problem?

    i am glad art chimed in on this as it's his talent that we are speaking of and he and only he should have control over that intellectual property, imo. i believe he has made a concession by allowing terrestrials to carry the show not in real time (so now he is giving them a choice). what they...
