Thanks for correcting me Dave! Again, working from memory.
Well then what the hell's the beef? Of course, your odds go up if you have mulitple stations in every market category to flood the entries.

That's just basic-math.

Y'all take this thing entirely too seriously!!!

Our table had fun with the Awards Ceremony this year - we played the WVBA Awards Drinking Game: every time the name Hoppy Kercheval was mentioned, we all had to drink!!!

Now...that's funny! I bet you could play something similar to "Buzz Word Bingo" at that kind of event.

edit - that'll be taken the wrong way.

It's probably that whole, "running-Cat6-next-to-the-10KV-supply-thing".

Oh, wait, there's the breaker - nevermind.

Besides, without an Engineering/IT projects vs. budget category - why bother? Sorry, Dave, I'd win every time.
Believe it or not, I'm experienced in working with a small / no budget from my days at Elkins. Mr Raese actually expects us to MAKE money, not lose it :)

I think your category is a good idea. Would you send an entry, if there were such a category? It seems some people don't, then complain when others win. Anyway, I'd enter for best repair and maintenance of 7-year old Pentium III computers in a sales support role....

"Best use of a linux partition on an AMD processor to serve as transmitter-site post-disaster on-air computer"?

"Most overbuilt mulit-raid multi-processor HP blade server just to run traffic software" category.

Now there's some I can sink my teeth into.

A little wordy, though.

"Best use of a fridge at the transmitter site".

"Most creative - non-broadcast related use of closures on an automation system".

Yep...I'm seeing some engineering/IT categories.

Yay, my WVNT was given best spot news coverage for two years in a row. It's nice to know that the hard work keeps paying off.

We were betting 5-bucks on who the first jealous competitor whose station wasn't good enough to win anything would whine first. I bet on you, and I thank you for today's lunch.
Shucks Dave,

I was hoping you would send that five bucks to support "Big Daddy Byrd."
I'm not jealous. In fact, I turned down a very good job with your empire in 1996. I really didn't like the motto of company, god, and then family. Even better, they actually told me which organizations I could volunteer with outside of work. So take your pretty WVBA trophies and go back to the death star.

Some fat chick tried to pick me up at the bar, does that count as a highlight? Well. at least I think it was a chick. It may have been Chris Lawrence in his Easter bonnett (again).

Oh Dave, what have they done to you? You can get your mind and identity back. Just watch a few Jason Bourne movies. Maybe you can be de-programmed.
