Small Media Market Blues

Heard at 2:30 p.m. today on a Lincoln radio station:

"Good afternoon. The University of Nebraska has a news conference scheduled for 1 p.m. today at which officials are expected to announce the new NU head football coach. Speculation is that it will be former Oakland Raiders Coach Bill Callahan, but there is a possibility that will not be the case."

This exciting news came after the same station ran live coverage of a 1 p.m. news conference at which officials announced the new NU head football coach -- Bill Callahan.

This is the same station that sometime almost every day runs two commercials at once, creating quite the sonic storm for the ears. Ah, the small media market blues.
