He's alot different from Ronnie Duncan and I'll explain how. 1. He actually grew up in Cleveland. 2. He's alot younger than Ronnie. 3. Basheer's focus is alot different from Ronnie's. Ronnie focused alot on Black and White issues, whereas Basheer focuses on issues that everyone can relate to. I enjoyed Ronnie's perspective but Basheer has been stating since he got on the air that he's trying to unify Clevelanders with topics that everyone can relate to; black white, christian, moslems, jews, young and old, poor and rich. I don't know how successful he will be but I can truly say that he's trying. I really enjoy his show and I see it going very far#1fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198082768213677150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-89077433671864998362007-11-17T07:43:00.000-05:002007-11-17T07:43:00.000-05:00lol, News-Herald. as close to "out of the media bu...lol, News-Herald. as close to "out of the media business" as one can get.Mark Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720397695305218131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-21705830119969364702007-11-16T10:33:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:33:00.000-05:00Hey Roger:The "five people who care" all read this...Hey Roger:<BR/><BR/>The "five people who care" all read this blog. That's why the blog is here. That means, the blog is serving its purpose. The PD is involved in "mass communication" and the blog is involved in "narrowcasting". It wouldn't serve the PD to report on items that interest so few people. The blog, however, can serve the smaller number who do care. <BR/><BR/>These are concepts that broadcasters understand. You used to cover the broadcast media, but based on the quality of your work, I'm not surprised if you fail to grasp these relevant concepts. <BR/><BR/>Those of us who read this blog and do care about the items it reports should not be made to feel diminished simply because you feel the need to spew your arrogance.<BR/><BR/>With respect to making errors, the only time I read your PD column was when others told me about apparent errors that you had made. That happened enough to keep me reading on a near-regular basis.<BR/><BR/>As for moving on, I'm afraid you're always going to be the butt of jokes. You caused that. You'll have to live with it.WERC alumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973158712811031763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-24462164298131549312007-11-16T10:27:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:27:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.WERC alumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973158712811031763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-54994260590780932102007-11-16T00:07:00.000-05:002007-11-16T00:07:00.000-05:00Oh, other responses we didn't provide:1) We rarely...Oh, other responses we didn't provide:<BR/><BR/>1) We rarely post in the comments. We'd actually like them to go away.<BR/><BR/>2) We don't see this section as "having the last word". We generally only close off the comments these days if there are out-of-hand comments against subjects we address. We've even had to do it once or twice with very unkind/serious comments people made against you!<BR/><BR/>3) You confuse the people in here with this blog's author. All of our comments have the convenient "Ohio Media Watch" Blogger login link above them, like this one.<BR/><BR/>4) If you are indeed still writing a media-related column for a Northeast Ohio newspaper(s), your writing is fair for us to read, digest and comment upon. If you're "out of the media business", tell us, and the name Roger Brown will no longer come off of our keyboard.<BR/><BR/>5) And most important - our update at the top of this item, just posted tonight, shows that we don't run from our goofs. We point them out, we highlight them, we shine a spotlight on them, we apologize.<BR/><BR/>(Though this one is not ENTIRELY our fault, since we couldn't actually READ the column without the "on paper" version - and the online version not being available. If we're missing that, we'll apologize again.)<BR/><BR/>--The ManagementOhio Media Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003503894299610300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-75547567923844620002007-11-16T00:02:00.000-05:002007-11-16T00:02:00.000-05:00If that is indeed Mr. Brown, please refresh the pa...If that is indeed Mr. Brown, please refresh the page for our response.<BR/><BR/>And please let us know if you ARE in the Lorain Morning Journal/Lake County News-Herald these days.

It's whenever OMW goofs on an item - or breathlessly offers some boring only-five-people-care "exclusive" - and the OMW authors respond in defensive, thin-skinned fashion on the "Comments" page when readers rightly criticize and/or mock them for it. Come on, guys, if you're gonna dish it out, you gotta take it. Going into the Comments section so you can always have the last word? Not cool.<BR/>But, I digress! I just wanted to let you know how truly flattered I am by your continiung obsession with me - even though it's literally been a year now since I left the PD.<BR/> Um, uh, guys, I've gone on with my life - and quite happily so. You might try it, too!<BR/>Still, here's genuine good wishes to OMW in the future!<BR/>Roger BrownRoger Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660757924731484075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-14912182124599652932007-11-15T15:30:00.000-05:002007-11-15T15:30:00.000-05:00Time Warner in New Philadelphia has been having fr...Time Warner in New Philadelphia has been having frozen screens on 90% of all analog channels.<BR/><BR/>This is mainly happy during 5am and later in the day.<BR/><BR/>Where is Quality Service now a days??NPHSQUAKERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898124415254859889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-7014227734881018552007-11-15T14:14:00.000-05:002007-11-15T14:14:00.000-05:00Update on my earlier comment: Around 2:00 p.m., FO...<B>Update on my earlier comment:</B> Around 2:00 p.m., FOX 8's normal programming finally came back on.

He left in early October and moved to Baltimore, looking for a job there. Duncan complained plenty about Radio One in the story and left on his own terms. <BR/><BR/>Radio One is rotating hosts in the morning for now. No permanent host has been named.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069495734477509776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-53855992679002788982007-11-15T11:34:00.000-05:002007-11-15T11:34:00.000-05:00Speaking of frozen video - FOX 8 has been frozen s...Speaking of frozen video - FOX 8 has been frozen since I first turned to it at about 10:30 a.m.<BR/><BR/>It is currently a little after 11:30, so it's been at least an hour.<BR/><BR/>I've taken a screenshot of the frozen image: <A HREF="http://x32.xanga.com/5e3c23f2c7032157659117/w118286722.jpg" REL="nofollow">click here to see it.</A> <BR/>As you can tell from the time stamp, it looks like they've been frozen since 8:34 a.m.<BR/><BR/>I went to the FOX 8 website to see if they had any messages about what the problem might be on their site, but I couldn't find any explanation. I did, however, see the link to watch the live stream of "That's Life," so I clicked on it and half-expected Robyn to mention something about errors on their station - but everything was perfectly normal.<BR/><BR/>The TV that I usually watch is a secondary TV in my home, and it is connected to analog cable - our main TV, which is connected to digital cable currently has the audio from the Tyra Banks show playing seemingly fine - but there is no video to go along with it.<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking that maybe this is just a problem with our cable feed here in Mansfield? I'm subscribed through Time Warner Cable. <BR/><BR/>Is anyone else having this problem?Chris Metcalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982562272814202371noreply@blogger.com
