Conservative Talker Andrew Wilkow Celebrates 10th Anniversary on SiriusXM.

Talk Host Dominic Salvia Wins $75k Settlement from Wisconsin in Protest Arrest Case. Radio personality Dominic Salvia – co-host of the "Devil's Advocates" radio show heard on iHeartMedia's progressive talker WXXM-FM, Madison "92.1 The Mic" with Mike Crute – won a settlement of $75,000 from the State of Wisconsin in connection with his arrest covering protests in 2011. Salvia contends his arrest by State Capitol Police while photographing the arrests of protesters was unlawful since he was a journalist covering – not participating in – the protests. Crute tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Salvia keeps $27,500 and attorney Jeff Scott Olson gets $47,500. Olson is also promising to file a class action suit against the state representing some 100 protesters relative to the 2011 arrests. Read the Journal Sentinel coverage here.

Cleveland GOP Convention to Feature 'Largest Talk Radio Operation in History.' The editorial director for radio for the GOP convention in Cleveland is talk radio pro Scott Hogenson, who says the 2016 Republican Convention will include the largest talk radio operation in convention history. Hogenson says, "As of June 29, there were more than 140 confirmed radio broadcast operations for the convention, and more will be confirmed this week. The previous record for radio participation was the 1996 convention in San Diego, with about 135 broadcasters on what was then called radio row. The previous convention in Tampa included about 110 talk broadcasters. Broadcasters originating from media row in 2016 will reflect the entire spectrum of interests and opinion: conservatives, liberals, libertarians, even sports radio will originate programming from Cleveland's media row. It reflects the changes in media over the years and combines radio, streaming TV, blogs, websites, Internet radio, and broadcast television." Hogenson is credited for developing the first-ever GOP radio row at the 1992 convention in Houston and has worked at every convention since. He adds, "It's a great honor to be part of this historic event and we're putting together a great radio operation. It's really exciting to be working with a terrific crew and a record number of broadcasters for this convention." Hogenson says the deadline for applying for credentials to cover the convention has expired. However, if shows not attending the convention are looking for interviews during the convention July 18 through 21, they can call him at 703-967-6298 or email email@example.com.

Boston-Based Talk Radio Host Howie Carr Details Threat Against His Life by Whitey Bulger. In a piece written for the Daily Beast, longtime Boston Herald columnist and syndicated talk show host Howie Carr writes about his dealings with convicted mobster James "Whitey" Bulger. Public interest in the Bulger story is high with the current film Black Mass in theaters, in which Johnny Depp plays Bulger. Carr, whose work as a reporter in Boston during the 1970s connected him to Whitey Bulger and his politician brother William Bulger, has written extensively about the Boston crime scene. He wrote the 2006 book, The Brothers Bulger, and the 2011 book, Hitman, about Johnny Martorano, and has a new novel, Killers, based in the Boston Irish mob setting. In the article, Carr writes that he believes Whitley Bulger would have liked him dead but questions the details of some of the stories that surround alleged plans to kill him.

The announcement from ESPN Radio pretty much wraps the changes to the radio network's schedule that were precipitated by the departure of Colin Cowherd during the summer. TALKERS sources say Sedano will do more basketball work for ESPN in addition to the radio show but the sports giant makes no mention of that in its press release. Lada joined ESPN earlier this year from her previous role at Comcast SportsNet Chicago.

PPM Analysis: All-News. TALKERS managing editor Mike Kinosian provides another thorough ratings assessment, as he updates the status of all-news outlets. You might recall that in January, the format – albeit with a qualifying database of approximately 20 stations in PPM markets – managed to do something rather astounding: It kept all of them out of negative "Holiday" 2014 – January 2015 territory. The natural question now is: Did the format keep this incredible momentum going? Using data from Nielsen Audio's February 2015 PPM survey, Mike examines the performances of all-news facilities in sweep-to-sweep and year-to-year comparisons, as well as charting them in terms of 6+ rank and 6+ market share. Additionally, we have a side-by-side look of the format's ultra-impressive January numbers and – in some cases – ironically similar February stats. See the exclusive all-news analysis and overview here.
KOGO Adds DeMaio For Midday Duty. San Diego talker KOGO is pairing Carl DeMaio and Bob "Sully" Sullivan as co-hosts of the 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm "DeMaio – Sullivan Report." KOGO program director Brian Long comments, "We are thrilled to welcome Carl DeMaio to our lineup. I have no doubt that, with his experience as a government watchdog and his inside knowledge of politics, this will be the most talked about show in San Diego." According to DeMaio, "Our show will give San Diegans a vehicle to learn not only about important issues, but to get involved in making a difference and advancing solutions." In addition to focusing on local news, the three-hour weekday program on the iHeartMedia-owned station will combine investigative journalism to examine stories behind the stories. The 40-year-old, Dubuque, Iowa-born DeMaio (Republican and openly gay) previously served four years (2008 – 2012) on San Diego's city council representing district five. DeMaio lost to former congressman Bob Filner in San Diego's 2012 mayoral contest and he was defeated by incumbent Scott Peters two years later in a race for California's 52nd congressional district seat. He is a Georgetown University alum.
Mohr Wins Big By Horsing Around. As part of its March Madness "Celeb Pick 'Em" series, USA Today's "For the Win" featured an interview with Fox Sports Radio host Jay Mohr. Within the piece, the star of the 2008 – 2010 CBS-TV sitcom "Gary Unmarried" (which co-starred Paula Marshall) revealed how a bet he made on the NCAA men's basketball tournament netted him an unusual payoff. It was 16 years ago (1999) and St. John's was making a run to the "Elite Eight" under head coach Mike Jarvis. Mohr was wagering with a friend who kept saying, "Double or nothing." His friend – a jockey at Santa Anita racetrack – eventually ran out of money. If St. John's went another round in the tournament, the friend told Mohr he'd give Mohr the horse on which he (the jockey) was sitting. St. John's – and Mohr – won but since the actor/comedian had a small yard, the horse was not with him very long. For the record, the St. John Red Storm beat Maryland 76 – 62 in the infamous game-winning bet for Mohr, but lost to Ohio State in a squeaker (77 – 74) the next round. According to Mohr, the primary excuse someone should offer for missing work to watch the Final Four should simply be that you are going to watch the tournament. "If you are not in a sports-friendly work environment," he says, "I would fake a birth." It is Mohr's contention that talk radio show callers should push the envelope and "make the host uncomfortable. The crazier they are, the more fun we have when we play it later when we run out of ideas of our own." So – how did Mohr do with his NCAA brackets this year? Not bad. He correctly has Kentucky and Michigan State in the Final Four, but also included Iowa State and Ohio State, rather than Wisconsin and Duke. He had Duke losing to San Diego State in the third round and Wisconsin falling to Ohio State in the Elite Eight. His prediction for the final game is that Kentucky's Wildcats will beat Michigan State's Spartans.

According to a report yesterday in Newsday (4/2), sports talk WFAN, New York afternoon star Mike Francesa says his relationship with executives at the station's parent CBS Radio have "never been worse." In a story written by Neil Best, the iconic media figure who will be delivering the welcoming keynote at the forthcoming Talkers New York 2015 on Friday, June 12, has described his relationship with company brass as "very poor," "awful" and "terrible." According to the story, speaking during a break in his show at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan, Francesa said that for legal reasons he cannot go into detail about the nature of the dispute. But he acknowledged one source of tension is his ongoing frustration over his often pre-empted simulcast on Fox Sports 1 and 2, and CBS' inability or unwillingness to find a contractual solution. The story goes on to report, Francesa did not name the executives with whom he is at odds, but he specifically excluded CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves, who was a target of harsh criticism from him after Moonves fired Don Imus in 2007. What does Moonves make of Francesa's status with CBS in 2015? "We love Mike," he said. "He's done a great job . . . Let him keep doing what he's doing and getting the ratings he's doing and I'm very happy with him." TALKERS magazine's annual feature "The 100 Most Important Sports Talk Radio Hosts in America" (also known as the "Talkers Sports Talk Heavy Hundred") lists Francesa consistently as being THE most important radio sports talk host in the business — local or national – and has been described by Michael Harrison as "one of the treasures of the talk media industry, sports talk or otherwise." Ironically, Harrison has also described the executives that run CBS Radio, with whom Francesa is likely at odds, as "among the smartest and classiest in the business." So it would be to the benefit of all parties concerned, including Francesa's legion of devoted fans and detractors alike, that this dispute is soon settled.

Proffitt to Pacifica Foundation Radio as Executive Director. In just over five weeks (6/11), former KUHF, Houston chief executive officer and general manager John Proffitt will take over as executive director of Pacifica Foundation Radio. Pacifica national board chair and interim executive director Margy Wilkinson states, "We have spent much of the past year stabilizing Pacifica after a turbulent time. Bringing on permanent, experienced leadership is the next step. While Pacifica still faces significant challenges, I am confident that John can see us through them and put our network back on a path of growth." National board vice chair Lydia Brazon remarks, "John's significant experience in radio broadcasting speaks for itself, but it is his recognition of Pacifica's unique place in today's media landscape that impresses most. I fully trust John Proffitt can and will rise to the challenge." Proffitt comments, "I deeply admire the Pacifica commitment to independent news and feature reporting that tell the stories other media outlets frequently ignore or soft-pedal. Its leadership in broadcasting and promoting local art and performance is second-to-none, as is its grassroots support from the community. I consider Pacifica to be a national treasure and feel honored to work for its success." Recording engineer and producer Proffitt spent 25 years at KUHF; more recently, he was a volunteer fundraiser/host ("Thresholds" and "Open Journal") at Pacifica Houston's noncommercial KPFT. He will be based in Pacifica's Berkeley, California headquarters.

Limbaugh Commenting on Colbert's Hiring: "War on the Heartland of America." Clearly – not everyone was doing cartwheels regarding yesterday's announcement that CBS-TV has selected Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman as "Late Show" host when Letterman departs sometime next year. Colbert will gear up for the new assignment by retiring his fake conservative persona (which he has described as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot") on Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" at the end of this year. Perhaps the most vociferous and vitriolic public comments concerning the late-night succession involving Colbert were made by Rush Limbaugh on Thursday's (4/10) Premiere Networks broadcast. He claims that CBS-TV's hiring of Colbert has, "declared war on the heartland of America. No longer is comedy going to be a covert assault on traditional American values, conservative values. Now it is just out in the open. What this hire means is a redefinition of what is funny, and a redefinition of what is comedy, and they're blowing up the 11:30 format." Limbaugh and Letterman are hardly allies, yet Limbaugh noted that, "The world is changing – people don't want the kind of comedy that Carson gave us, or even Letterman gave us. It is the media planting a flag. There is no unity in this hire." Furthermore, Limbaugh contends that CBS-TV has, "hired a partisan, [a] so-called comedian, to run a comedy show."
WABC, New York's John Batchelor to Debut Author Video Series on WABCradio.com.

Batchelor comments, "I used to be an author, and I enjoy the enthusiasm of hearing in depth of a new book, well told by the person who survived the research, the writing and the publishing. It's fun for me to learn the stories of the making of the stories." WABC program director Craig Schwalb states, "No one does books better than John Batchelor, and the 'Author Series' proves that. This is a natural extension of John's passion and we hope that his listeners in New York and across the country will enjoy it." The program launches with an in-depth interview of Thomas Cahill the author of Heretics and Heroes. Future episodes include: Robert Klara author of FDR's Funeral Train, Eri Hotta author of Japan 1941: Countdown to Infamy and George H. Nash author of The Crusade Years 1933-1955. Fresh episodes will appear weekly on wabcradio.com.
KARN-FM, Little Rock Names PD; Seeks Afternoon Host. Little Rock news/talker KARN-FM names Adam Thomas program director for the station and the Arkansas Radio Network. Thomas takes over for longtime PD and PM drive host Dave Elswick who, along with morning host Bob Steel and news director Jack Heinritz, exited the station last week. Thomas is seeking a new afternoon drive personality for the station and says, "The afternoon show should be a compelling blend of information and entertainment. Opinion and point-of-view are important, but this program must appeal to a broad segment of the Little Rock community. Candidates must have a mastery of current events, a relentless curiosity, and the ability and desire to talk about more than politics. A willingness and ability to engage the audience outside the show via personal appearances, digital media and other channels is a must." Send resumes and airchecks or links to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Little Rock PM Host" in the subject line. Cumulus Media is an EOE.

Clear Channel Releases Results of 'Audio Space' Study; Growth in New Platforms Means Audio Consumption Is 'Additive.' The study was a combined effort with MediaVest and Clear Channel Media + Entertainment and surveyed "thousands of audio listeners who use one or more of the following audio sources personal music collections (CDs, iTunes downloads), broadcast radio, streaming AM/FM radio, custom online playlists, satellite radio, online music videos and digital music channels on TV shows." Among the results of the study is the conclusion that "because of the use of alternate audio devices, time spent across audio platforms continues to increase and growth in audio is predominantly additive." The goal of the study was to determine when, why and how consumers choose different audio platforms and some of the conclusions reached are: afternoon drive (3:00 pm to 7:00 pm) generally sees the highest usage; the car remains the most popular location for audio listening throughout the day; 63% of teens listen to more than two audio platforms a day – the highest of any demographic; broadcast radio is the most popular audio platform; listeners choose broadcast radio to stay connected to "the world," top drivers for radio usage are its accessibility, timely news, traffic, weather, engagement with radio personalities and discovering new music; personal music collections (CDs, iTunes downloads, etc.) are about control with 81% choosing the platform to control or customize their listening experience. Custom playlists are also about control and follow with 67% choosing the platform for this reason; 41% of consumers are willing to listen to ads in exchange for free online audio. Ads related to the music consumers like and optimized for the time of day are most powerful. MediaVest EVP and research director David Shiffman states, "In the audio space, most measurement focuses on a single audio platform, rather than a complete view of the landscape. Our goal in working with Clear Channel – with its extensive experience in both live and digital radio – was to generate a real-time and accurate view of the audio space, which we believe is going through an evolution similar to television. Marketers have embraced the concept of multi-screen consumer behavior, but audio media also provides a tremendous opportunity for them to connect with their target audience throughout their day."

Saga Portland President Pahigian Prepares To Exit. Fifteen-year Portland Radio Group president Cary Pahigian broke the news to his staff yesterday (1/8) he will soon be leaving the Maine operation. According to Pahigian, he told Saga vice president Warren Lada about a year ago that he was evaluating his next professional challenge. "I was certainly happy and fortunate to be working with the finest group of people I have ever met," Pahigian wrote in a staff memo. "Still, the impending 15-year mark was activating an area in my brain that had been quiet for years. Warren asked me to forge ahead and see how I felt at the end of 2013. The only way to properly examine what I wanted to do and aggressively pursue that opportunity, was to focus on it 100%. It would be impossible to conduct that process and still remain at my best with the demands of this job." Pahigian continues his duties at the operation until his successor is hired. Prior to his 15-year Portland, Maine tenure as president of the eight-station cluster, Pahigian was a 26-year-old station manager at heritage Boston outlet WBZ-AM; corporate vice president of operations for Sconnix Broadcasting; and he programmed Philadelphia's WIP.

Jimmie Kaska Named Sports Director at WBIZ, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The new title for Jimmie Kaska comes as he takes over the sports director role at Clear Channel's WBIZ, Eau Claire, Wisconsin from Mike Sullivan who held the position for the past 40 years. The station notes that during Sullivan's tenure, "he was responsible for getting games on the air involving local teams performing in over 200 venues in 30 states, one territory and two foreign countries. Of those roughly 8,000 games, only two did not get on the air. Sullivan also negotiated rights fees and made other arrangements for airing over 10,000 games involving professional and college teams in Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as nationally broadcast events. WBIZ-AM was the first 24-hour sports station in Wisconsin, and one of the first 10 in the United States when the format debuted in 1992. The station format was switched in 1994-95, but then returned to the all-sports format in 1996, and has remained all-sports since then." Kaska serves as PD for WBIZ and sister news/talk WMEQ. He states, "It's crazy to think that the first job I had in my life when I was 17 would be the same one I'm doing today. It seems like every year I find something else to take charge of, and of all the roles I have here, this one will be the most visible and most important. It's my goal that I continue the long tradition of being one of the best and most active sports radio groups in the country. The mentoring I've received from Mike Sullivan has been invaluable to both my career in broadcasting and to life. I'm humbled and excited for the opportunity."
Advantage Systems Brings Reed Bunzel and A. Darryl Davis Aboard. Sales and marketing firm Advantage Systems Inc. announces Reed Bunzel and A. Darryl Davis join the company as revenue development managers. The company says, "Bunzel has been leading a charge for the radio industry to use digital media to grow revenue since digital first appeared, and he has joined Advantage Systems, Inc. to help stations do just that. Bunzel, current president of Bunzel Media Strategies, will be working with broadcasting groups throughout U.S. and Canada to help them with a revenue generation program designed to incorporate traditional media with new interactive solutions provided by Advantage Systems, Inc." Bunzel comments, "What I find interesting is that RAB's just-released data shows that radio's digital revenue was up 3% in the previous quarter and 7% in the first half, but I saw another study today predicting 16% growth in digital advertising next year. That tells me that radio is severely underperforming in the digital era. It needs to be smart and catch up." Regarding Davis, Advantage Systems VP for sales Frank Kulbertis states, "Darryl has a history of doing programs similar to our Advantage Plan program that included schedules and digital products for television so he was a perfect fit as a new revenue development manager for us." The company says Davis will work with broadcast groups to grow their advertising revenue. The program includes extensive sales training, new business leads in the local market, a focused workshop to educate local business owners on traditional and new media, 12-month advertising commitments along with turn-key creative services and the ability to generate digital revenue thru inclusion of interactive solutions.

Friday 30 October. Left Bordeaux and headed for Jarnac. Not a long drive. Very pretty countryside, parts of it looked familiar. Bit like coming home, which after two months is looking good. It will certainly be great to take the bags out of the car and not have to put them all back in the morning. Stopped at the supermarket and got some milk and headed for 3 Allee Grand Maisons. Relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Went for a walk down ...

Enjoyed both sides of the fence here. We then took a very long walk along a promenade running parallel with the river. Just beautiful and very peaceful. Found a lovely restaurant facing the river where we relaxed and ate lunch before catching the tram back to the middle of Bordeaux to ...
On our way through Spain
... And off we went. The good old SatNav got us onto the road to Segovia, a town we'd not taken an optional tour to. About an hour out of Madrid, we arrived in Segovia around noon. Well at the foot of the old fortified city that is, which is built up on a bit of a rise and has a lovely old, what looks like a Roman viaduct, connecting the hilltop town to another rise. But low and behold, just as we pulled up we blew a tyre. After a quick look around, of course everything ...
Day trip to Rochefort
For the one week of holidays that we have, Bridget had the fantastic idea of chosing something fun to do everyday, like going to different places close by La Rochelle with the train or just having La Rochelle days, where we explore the city.
DAY ONE: We decided to go to Rochefort. Rochefort is about a 20 minute train ride down the coast and is about a quarter of the population of La Rochelle. Because it was a Sunday and we had arrived so early, the ...

No wonder I couldn't find the comment in your other pic, the one, like, with the actual *car* in it. Must've put this in the wrong pic. :þ
Ah, same bloody title for *all* the pix in this series... no wonder I got confoozed.
Over here, what with congestion, and not just bigger trucks and all, but even SUVs like the Ford Exxon-Valdez and Chevy Alba-Varden, you get t-boned by one of them, and 5-star safety ratings or not, you get punted a quarter-mile down the road and there's nothing left of the car *or* you, just bits to be sponged off the road later.
My old car had a fairly high-strung 2.0ℓ 4-banger squirrelmotor (9.3:1 compression), but admittedly I felt that I could get out and run faster sometimes. When that blew apart earlier this year after 20something years of faithful service, I went to a nice sedate-looking Regal with a bigger donk under the hood, a 3.8ℓ V6. I call it my Q-Ship, which reference you may "get", hjeh-hjeh.
It can get over 30mpg(US) on easy highway cruises, but that dips quite a bit on stop'n'go city driving and short trips.
Dunno how much you'd pay for acetone (AcMe), but 2-3oz (no more!) per 10gal helps vaporise gasoline especially in colder temps, gets a more complete burn, and raises mileage a few percent.
Back in my older car when one plug got fouled due to a vacuum leak, it would run *really* rough, with the #1 cylinder hardly firing, the #2 getting fouled from cooler temps of its neighbor, and only the #3 and #4 cylinders running right, albeit a bit rich. When I added probably 6oz of AcMe to my tank, better vaporisation but *less* mileage, it smoothed out like nothing was wrong.
Add an electrolyser, which draws maybe 5A or so and splits water into H2 and O2 (perfectly stochiometric, too!), and that'll *really* smooth out your engine's running and get an almost perfectly clean burn.
My own test was firing up the car when cold, just putting it into drive and letting it idle forward, slightly uphill. Before, it would run rough and "cog" with each hit on a cylinder, tootling forward maybe 2-3mph when cold. Next time with the electrolyser going (ie, the next day, again from a cold engine), it idled forward perfectly smoothly and got to about a good 5-10mph!
I normally consider these purported "mileage boosters" as hooey unless/until I try them, but these two *do* work.
Might want to give one/both a shot. Save a few pounds/euros/whatever.

UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince, recovering from an October microfracture surgery on his knee, was cleared to participate in seven-on-seven drills for Thursday's spring practice, but coach Rick Neuheisel forgot and didn't put him in.
"I looked at him and said you gotta tell me," Neuheisel said. "You gotta remind me. But we won't miss that opportunity again."
Prince, who began last season as the starter before the knee injury sidelined him after Week 6, has been doing only simple footwork drills and some light passing drills so far this spring, but he said his doctor and UCLA's trainers had given the OK for him to step up to the seven-on-seven drills. Those entail receivers and running backs running routes against defensive backs and linebackers.
"The only thing I shouldn't be doing is sprinting out and scrambling," Prince said. "I think I can limit myself to not doing that. I'll be able to control myself."
Prince said this is as far as he will be able to progress in spring football. The next step would be to run live plays in the full-team drills, but his doctors won't allow that until fall.
"I'm trying to stay as patient as I can," Prince said. "It's frustrating, but unfortunately I've had the experience of going through this before and I know that being patient is important."
Neuheisel said he would run some seven-on-seven drills Saturday before the team plays a live scrimmage and that Prince would get the majority of the reps in those drills.
Center Kai Maiava, who sat out last season because of a broken ankle, aggravated the injury Thursday and sat out the last half of practice.
He said somebody rolled up on his ankle during a running game drill and that he felt a "pop," but didn't expect to miss any more practice time.
"I just have some throbbing pains, but I'm sure I'll be able to go on Saturday," he said.
Maiava continued to practice a few plays after the injury, but he was clearly favoring the ankle and even tried to hold a block on one leg at one point.
"I felt the aches and pains set in and I was just going to have to sit this one out," he said.
He didn't expect to have X-rays or an MRI exam and said this injury was nothing close to the broken ankle he suffered in the fall scrimmage last year.
"It's the same ankle, but not even close to that," he said.
A few tidbits:
Offensive lineman Jeff Baca, who broke his ankle on the second day of spring practice, stopped by Thursday and said he would probably be out for six months. If that's the case, he would miss the first month of the season. Baca had eight screws put in to help repair the ankle and said six would probably remain in until at least after the season ends.
Defensive linemen Cassius Marsh and Owmagbe Odighizuwa, starters at the end of last season who had been working with the second team this spring, were with the first team Thursday. Linebacker Isaiah Bowens also got some time with the first team this spring, playing middle linebacker.
Much of the practice centered on the red zone, but it was a bit rough from an offensive standpoint with errant throws and throws to receivers who weren't there. "Always when you install things there some roughness that goes with that," Neuheisel said. "When you install things there's a lot of thinking. In the red zone there's a lot of anticipation pulling the trigger so you have to rep that a lot."
