It's 50 degrees, which means people here are dressed like you are there. They have no idea what real cold is like.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate all the kind comments on the Rhoads' blog. It's definitely a wait and see hire, but he's already shown more sincerity in 48 hours than Gene Chizik showed in two years.<BR/><BR/>As for NFL games, that is not the decision of the Sports Director---at least not at any station I've ever worked. I'm in charge of the way we cover and report local sports, with input from the News Director, not what's shown on network programming. That's the decision of the Programming Director and/or the General Manager, though the decision is often made by the network (local stations can usually overrule that choice).<BR/><BR/>However, it's been a long time since anyone at channel 13 had to make a decision. The Sunday Night Football game leaves no choice. There is only one game. We don't have, and haven't had for a a long time, any other NFL games.<BR/><BR/>It's understandable why someone might think the sports director made all decisions regarding sports. You took a little too much abuse, though that wrong network thing did put it on a tee.<BR/><BR/>Hope this clears it up a little.<BR/><BR/>Back to Iowa tomorrow. See you soon.<BR/><BR/>KeithKeith Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030542615109823233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-8871499541868767922008-12-22T16:48:00.000-06:002008-12-22T16:48:00.000-06:00There are bigger fish at a TV station who choose p...There are bigger fish at a TV station who choose programming, not the sports director, even if it's sports...granted they get input, but that doesn't mean they have to use the input...Andy Garmin could lobby til he's blue in the face for a Steelers vs Dolphins game, but if the guys above him decide Brett Favre and the crap happy Jets vs the crappier Chiefs is bigger for local ratings, they're going to put it on...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Anyone else think we're being played?
