Talk about slow news day

so today the biggest news was rumors of who the visitors will be that are apparently coming tomorrow. Are the owners coming? someone to buy us? etc. I don't worry about things like that, though I do like to be in the know...we'll see what happens, but buying and selling is a normal things at news stations. I've talked to many in the business who've gone through several, or are going through one!!

I worked on an Alabama angle to the American Idol deal (with Mikelyn agian today)...I care nothing for American Idol and someone made the joke, we're telling people to watch another station during sweeps..wow! Oh well that's what a lot of people want to know about so that's what we'll give em. We had some connections (that apparently HNT also had) about a party at a house of college friends of his that also used to play music with Taylor. I was kinda glad to see 19 there though because that was the first time in a long while that I've seen Greg Privett, he was news director at the college owned statoin in Tuscaloosa that I worked at for 3.5 years. I won't get into the rumors of why he left, suffice to say that newsrooms are all full of thier fair share of speculating and rumors.

LIVE TRUCK: didn't get to take my test today, had interview conflict and when we got back engineering had stuff they were working on. Some have said it might be a couple more days yet before I get certified, becasue engineering wants to make sure that you know what you are doing and what percautions to take before letting you loose.

Tomorrow is the end of my first full week!! Good stuff on the WAAY I feel it!
