Many things

Wow, alot has happened in less than a month. Yet, everything stays the same. We've got the Relay For Life of Lubbock County coming up in less than a week (May 8)..complete with the threat of things like Swine Flu, thunderstorms, etc...

Last weekend was special - did a bunch, but on Friday night got to spend some time with a friend who is in her second battle with cancer. It was alot of fun hanging out and seeing friends that I haven't seen in quiet a while.

Clear Channel is planning to lay off more employees. Radio continues to change.

Sports radio in Lubbock has drastically re-shaped itself (http://blogs.lubbockonline.com/centerstage/index.php?m=05&y=09). The fact that TTU/Learfield has decided to go with locally-owned Ramar Communications is very intriguing. I remember back in the day when all TTU football and men's basketball games were on KFYO-AM. At times, we would simulcast on Z102 big games such as bowl games for TTU football, but that was about it. Now, with the possibility of throwing TTU athletics across a wide spectrum of AM and FM stations; English-language and Spanish-language. It should be interesting for all involved.

Talk to you soon.
