I used to think that computers and especially the web was the best thing on the planet. I really used to have fun with it and although limited then as it is now I usually could find things. One I did find was a site called Wolf FM . Com, a streaming radio web site that was part of a seed that got planted in my head. If a guy in a wheel chair that is blind from his apartment could put together such a good thing so could we or so I thought. The Internet could be a delivery point for us going towing, trucking as well as all things Dukes-of-Hazzard. Remember Hazzard with Dukes always is spelled with two Z's. Any mile. While the FCC had limited and put a hold for new radio and or TV stations applications there was nothing holding s back from streaming on the air, through the Internet. From that hour in 2003 I thought it'd be easy, my was I going to be suprpized. Not only did I have to do my 4 hour show, but had to figure out how to keep it all rolling 24/7 365 and on demand. But with help from Abacast out of Oregon and a few others the process began. But how do you get people to where you want them to log on and listen? You advertise of course both TV and trade print. Now spending big money on TV and trade ads can be trickey. If you do not have an ad that grabs folks by the crotch to make them not get up and take a wizz or grab a brew it'd better have at minimum eye candy. But where do you find such at least in the Mountain West where pro talent agencies are few and far between? You look on the net of course, but then the results might be good or at least risky. This escalated to a peak when I moved to Bountiful Utah. Finding the talent was sorta good, but got plenty of the fuzz in my neighborhood a bit hot under their gun belts. So in desperate notion I put into motion a move to Wyoming. During this time I found online a super hottie by the name of Julie, whom made me see daylight. Problem is when she saw the shack in Cokeville that I was going to pay big money per month for she said take a different course. Which looking back I should have done. Not only could I have saved much of our broadcast gear that was stolen but also could have saved nearly $50,000.00 of the Hazzard Knyte' money but nearly $3,000.00 of my own money, plus that 24 hour freeze over a weekend there would have not happened. As smart as I am about trucking , towing, production agriculture and all I have no real smarts when it comes to big I mean reall big media business. Sure I can produce, write and put a show or as it is now 3 shows on per week on our local access channel like I do nw on CH-12 here in Pocatello and all but selling the show to potential advertisers, and all that is a skill I have not yet mastered. So it was maybe a stroke from above that the other night saw a cry for help from Julie, although as it turned out was not Julie but someone who had hacked her email and needed money. But at least I was back in contact with her. Julie not only looks good in front of the camera, but knows things that would make her valuable in the office as well. Now as I get on here, the idea of creating a Mountain West Cable/satellite network based on the basic concepts of CMT, RFDTV, Speed , and the military channel blending them together for all us kountry fied rednecks with some Hazzard County flair would not be such a bad idea in fact that is what we are working at but that requires taking baby steps to get there. More in the evening report.
