Having watched the animosity develop over the years between the JAGS and local media, their is enough fault to be passed around on both sides.

 

Mr. Weavers watch failed to be proactive and employ best practises, personnel during the down years and he appeared to grow tired.

Local HOF sportswriters, small market media ego's were more than happy to tell the JAGS to their face what they were doing wrong, again and again.

 

Shad is a businessman on a different plane of competency. The Lamping hire and house cleaning should have clued local types.

If that didn't, then "even if He is released" let everyone know that there was a new sheriff in town. 

 

I am willing to bet that 1010 is on a short leash, they have LUSTED for this for years and now they have it, it is not going to be what they originally thought it would be. As the Flagship station they have to toe the line. Balou's remark yesterday about a 10k fine each time they mention Tebow is nearer the truth.

 

From a coverage standpoint, yesterday I said that WOKV was the right choice regardless of it's angry pale mendicate programming.

What has been desperately missing in JAX was an active local sports voice, I poke fun at WOKV, but they were more intrested in national programming than becoming a Sports Voice. As the fortunes of the JAGS wained, the revenue from that venture dissipated, this was all but guarenteed. The addition of 99.9 on the FM side only partially fills the gaping whole in local, sub regional coverage. The question is who is going to oversee the rebuilding of the JAG radio network.
