He kept insisting on saying his name at least twice per break, "This is EDDIE Mularz". <BR/><BR/>It was nothing much to mention until Roger Brown referred to him as a promising young sportscaster deserving of a break.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-11542342960795350472007-04-26T21:16:00.000-04:002007-04-26T21:16:00.000-04:00Who is Eddie Mularz that keeps popping up on the c...Who is Eddie Mularz that keeps popping up on the comments section?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-68441287344141801102007-04-26T11:18:00.000-04:002007-04-26T11:18:00.000-04:00Someone let me know if I recall this correctly, be...Someone let me know if I recall this correctly, because I was a little boy at the time.<BR/><BR/>It seems I was told that the single sponsor newscasts of old were criticized for journalistic reasons. That it gave the single sponsor at least the appearance of having control over the news. <BR/><BR/>And I do remember people scoffing when CEI was either sole sponsor, or almost the sole sponsor of Channel 5's news (might have been in the 1980's).<BR/><BR/>With more than one sponsor, none of them pays enough of the ad money to call the News Director and make demands with respect to the content of the news. <BR/><BR/>Even if that's not really happening, it creates the appearance that it could happen, and causes some viewers to watch with suspicion. (Would Channel 5 run news that embarrasses CEI if the utility is the only sponsore?).<BR/><BR/>Does anyone know anything about that, or did I just misunderstand how things happened?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-23515178274394000932007-04-26T01:33:00.000-04:002007-04-26T01:33:00.000-04:00On Time Warner, Sportstime Ohio is off the air at ...On Time Warner, Sportstime Ohio is off the air at night sometimes and the HD channel says Off Air in the program guide all the time.<BR/><BR/>Also WBNX-DT is back on the air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-77104993785465979392007-04-25T23:36:00.000-04:002007-04-25T23:36:00.000-04:00Welcome to Wednesday, "NATIONAL HUMPING DAY"Welcome to Wednesday, <BR/>"NATIONAL HUMPING DAY"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-3869591406561378712007-04-25T20:16:00.000-04:002007-04-25T20:16:00.000-04:00Give Eddie Mularz the King of Mool the shot he so ...Give Eddie Mularz the King of Mool the shot he so richly deserves at WOIO Channel 19 sportsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-66829147094332448222007-04-25T19:11:00.000-04:002007-04-25T19:11:00.000-04:00Doubt it, remember, WOIO hired Roger Brown, only t...Doubt it, remember, WOIO hired Roger Brown, only to have Roger quit a few weeks later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-68283951789205572312007-04-25T17:58:00.000-04:002007-04-25T17:58:00.000-04:00perhaps the reason why Minn didn't get too far ove...perhaps the reason why Minn didn't get too far over at WOIO is because Roger Brown backed him?KevinGillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307277576015487299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-64590856448653963282007-04-25T17:14:00.000-04:002007-04-25T17:14:00.000-04:00He's unique alright.Uniquely terrible.TV 5 actuall...He's unique alright.<BR/><BR/>Uniquely terrible.<BR/><BR/>TV 5 actually had a nice little legacy of sportscasters:<BR/><BR/>Gib Shanley (Legendary Browns Radio announcer)<BR/><BR/>Nev Chandler (Indians Radio, Force TV, and of course Browns Radio)<BR/><BR/>Matt Underwood (WVIZ High School Football {which should be brought back}, Indians Radio and TV)<BR/><BR/>To even discuss Charlie Minn in the same sentence with these guys is insulting.<BR/><BR/>Apologies to Gib, Nev (RIP), and Matt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-34836051996321674962007-04-25T16:10:00.000-04:002007-04-25T16:10:00.000-04:00Charlie was extremely entertaining.And nobody has ...Charlie was extremely entertaining.<BR/><BR/>And nobody has the patent on "throwing paper."
