This job can be hectic as heck
The CAA Basketball Tournament is coming up next week. A week from tomorrow, I leave for Richmond to follow the UNCW Seahawks as they attempt to become the first non-Brett Blizzard team in school history to make it to the NCAA's.
It'll be the first CAA Tournament I've gone to cover since 2003, when they crushed Drexel in the championship game, only to go on to have their heart's broken by Drew Nicholas' three pointer at the buzzer for Maryland. That year was easy. We were a young radio station. We didn't have much going on. The one set of remote broadcast equipment we had was more than enough.
Enter 2006.
Taking a look at our station now, we certainly have more going on now. UNCW Baseball. Remotes and appearances at businesses all over town. Now, though, we have a problem.
Our only set of remote broadcast equipment is going to be used over the weekend to broadcast UNCW Baseball on our station. How, may I ask, am I supposed to do a show from Richmond without remote equipment?
Unfortunately, there is an answer to this question. It's my cellphone. Yep. I may wind up having to do an entire three hour show on Friday, a two hour show on Saturday, and possibly another three hour show on Monday with a cellphone!
Can you say pathetic?
Ahh, the trials and tribulations of working in a small market.

Yeah...my Chris works at WFNZ (610AM)--the sports station here in CLT. You two should compare notes on the loves of this time of year! By the way...it's Crystal
kodoos to you TJ, hard worker indeed. I still hate the fact that I just got back from working out of state and got back this mourning. So, friday I was really looking forward to listening to the show, but uncw baseball was on. You do a good job with that I just like your show and wanting to hear some info on the air. Anyways I am through bitching, and just wanted to say wants up and good luck in your long weekend.
