On the missing Black Bear hockey broadcasts on the Internet:
 
Two observations:
 
1.  Kill the music.  It's sports TALK radio, isn't it ?  It's a HOCKEY
broadcast, isn't it ?  What does music have to do with the broadcast ?
 
I know that these days radio stations like to have their "bumpers", but
please SIMPLIFY !!!  Kill the music during Internet broadcasts.
 
2.  Special counsel ???  Who is getting THAT windfall ?? I'll do it for
half of the lowest price they're quoted !!   Is WZON so stupid to think
they're the FIRST to have this problem ?   Jeez...
 
Fortunately, games are on TV the rest of the way, or I'm going in person
(read: Worcester and Anaheim), I don't need Real Audio (Macintosh version).
 
I wish the best of luck to the Brainiac in manangement at WZON that has to
"research" this problem.  Could you get your act in gear by this November
(seven months from now) ?
 
Who do we write to at WZON ???
