JOANIE GREEN [KPRC TV CH 2, KZEW FM, KFWD FM, KNOK FM, KAUM FM, KILT FM, KNUZ-1230, Metro Traffic, Houston Taping for the Blind] (Tulsa, OK)<\/strong> Hi Jim, I worked for KFWD\u2026when they were 2 trailer houses on 360 just south of DFW\u2026dang turntables would rumble every time the SurTran busses would roll past and park for the night. That\u2019s where I had 5 drunk guys come see the broad on the radio and I thank goodness I had the dogs with me\u2026the dogs had them pinned against the car and I got kinda scared, I\u2019d never seen my dog in a crouch ready to spring\u2026he was growling and his hackles were raised. I very slowly walked up to my dog, grabbed his collar to hold on to him and asked the guys what they wanted\u2026\u201dUhhhh\u2026we just wanted to request a song\u2026\u201d \u201cOkay, whadaya wanna hear?\u201d I don\u2019t remember what it was, but I told them I would try to find it and that I needed to get back in the control room before the record ran out. They got in the car and sped away. I breathed a sigh of relief and praised the dogs for a verrrrrry long time. I heard them barking over the monitor and that\u2019s why I went outside to see what was going on and why the dogs were barking so incessantly. Take care and talk with you soon. Joan<\/em><\/p>\n

JAY WALKER [CBS Radio Dallas\/KJKK FM\/Infinity KTSA-550\/KTFM FM\/Own Jay Walker Prod\/Jay Walker Competitive Audio consultant 40 Plus Years In Radio] (Ft. Worth-Hurst, TX)<\/strong> Subject: AT&T \u2013 Time Warner merger. There\u2019s no reason we should allow telecom MONOPOLIES to exist. Monopolies have no incentive to provide better service, or lower rates. You may have noticed your phone\/cable\/internet bill always creeps higher. Service performance is terrible, and customer service does not exist. Even worse, monopolies stifle technology which is why the US does not even show up in the top 10 list of average internet connection speeds. We rank BELOW \u2018techno giants\u2019 Romania, Mongolia, Peru, Mexico, and so many others. Our average peak connection speed in the US is 57.3mb which 20% of the US can achieve compared to Singapore where it\u2019s 135.7mb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/strong> On December 8, 1980, during the Monday Night Football<\/em> game on ABC-TV, legendary sports announcer Howard Cosell is the first voice to inform many Americans that an assailant shoots and kills singer and songwriter John Lennon outside his apartment in New York City.<\/p>\n

JAY WEAVER [ex KCUL-1540\/KBUY-1540\/KPCN-730] (Houston, TX)<\/strong> Subject: AT&T \u2013 Time Warner merger. Jim \u2013 My after radio career was spent being self employed. In so doing, I almost always used \u201cthe small business man\u201d as my sub \u2013 contractor, the local bank, the local lumber yard, the local cement company, etc. Still do. Rhonda and I eat at the local restaurants \u2013 rarely the \u201cchain restaurants\u201d. We feel we get a better response from local, small, home owned businesses. While I think AT&T does an adequate job at what they do for their size, they are what they are and I feel more and bigger will not be better. We need Time Warner to keep AT&T in line. Thanks for asking, Jim. Jay<\/em><\/p>\n

JOHN GRIFFIN CARLISLE (September 5, 1834 \u2013 July 31, 1910)<\/strong> After we have calmly stood by and allowed monopolies to grow fat, we should not be asked to make them bloated<\/em>.<\/p>\n
