WATE OWNERS IN DUMPER

Young is broke as in WAY broke and in bankruptcy as of last winter. Today it has been announced one of their
better stations is about to hit the auction Block.

Locally WATE use to be THE number TWO station
for local news until WVLT pushed them into the
third and lowest position.
The leading local news TV station, WBIR also
has also been feeling the economical
crunch. Old favorite shows have been
told to grab their stuff and
report to the unemployment line.

Times for all media included the "NEW" media are
sucking like a Dyson and there really is little to
no relief in sight. Some radio stations are reporting
a small up tick in sales but nothing that would
signify a turn around.

As our D.C. reporter, Walter Ridings Cronkite points out,
the odd ball group of thieves and tree hugging
socialists running the nation have little incentive
or desire to get out of the way and let the ship of state
cruise into calm waters.


The small skeleton staff at the MR wishes all
those at WATE and Young the best and hates to see
anyone on the street in these horrid times. Good luck
and remember your vote is so needed if we are going to
get these "people" in D.C. out of our lives and our pocket
books!

The above was a paid political advertisement from the
new publishing house BUY,READ,FORGET,BUY AGAIN...who is
proud to announce their first book "MIKE JACKSON DEAD JOKES" has made the New York Chimes best seller list for
six hours in a row!

Back...sort of

After sitting by the SEE ROCK CITY
Mail Box for weeks now, the staff
and management of the Media Report
is about resigned to the fact that
Hussein Obama's check to us is not coming.
With a heavy heart and a sad
hand we opened our cyber mail and
found some nasty words, obviously
sent by readers of knoxviews.com or
those who enjoy the company of
those types.


Before we reply,
here are just a few things in the
news.


North Korea convicted two American journalists and sentenced them Monday to 12 years of hard labor for crossing into its territory, intensifying the reclusive nation's confrontation with the United States.

The Obama administration said it would pursue "all possible channels" to win the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, reporters for former Vice President Al Gore's San Francisco-based Current TV media venture, a subsidiarity of the former VP Al Gore
Enterprises.

The good news is Al Gore announced late last week he
would personally fly to North Korea and try to secure the
release of the women. The bad news is he said he would
return to the USA with or without them.



Speaking of Al Gore, his global warming MYTH has taken yet another hit in the shorts! If it seemed cold to you in Green Bay on Saturday, it was. The high temperature for the day, reached at 9:50 a.m., was 52. That set a record for the lowest high temperature for June 6, according to the National Weather Service office in Ashwaubenon.

The old mark was 53, set in 1943.

In Bismarck, N.D. snow has fallen in Dickinson in June, the FIRST TIME in nearly 60 years the city has seen snow past May.
It was so cold in Dickinson, their oldest resident, Lamar Overcoat was arrested for just trying to warm his hand!

Al Gore responded saying the new watch word is
CLIMATE CHANGE...you know now that it is
getting COOLER rather than hotter and all!


Cyber Mail Bag


Ah, like Al Capone's syphillis, the bigoted sheet-head returns to blog and blather.

Is it any wonder you're not on the radio anymore?

Any wonder that even the Halls Shopper banned you (though you were right about WATE)?



Is everything ALWAYS about race with you?

ED....Uh, for someone who obviously is in the latter
stages of the disease don't you think you should at least
learn the correct spelling? It is Syphilis NOT syphillis.

means "fair" bless their hearts.

Leave Walker alone! I grew up listening to him and CP and I turned out a productive if not politically incorrect citizen. I support my wife and daughter, I don't ask for any freakin bailouts. I'm tired of all the whiny assholes in DC trying to run our lives. If you don't like this country, get the hell out of here.

ED...Now THAT was a fine note! It
defined the problem.."if you don't like this country..."
and it gave a very sound and outstanding solution,
"get the HELL out of here."

Look this guy is old, a joke to all
who used to hear him on the radio and more
than that a pathetic Republican. The party
that only knows hate and hating. We
banned him from knoxviews and so did
the administrators of the WATE site.
As for his firing at the paper, it
was justified not only for his right
leanings but for his lack of talent and
inability to even spell correctly.
He was a nightmare to edit and
not one story he ever turned in was
published as he wrote it, to avoid
embarrassment of the paper. Also
when he was fired not one single e mail
or call came in asking where he was.
Today he is broke, has no friends and
is laughed at when he goes out in
public. His party is nonexistent and
his thoughts on this blog are both
that of a bigot and a racists. As for
why we even respond the answer is simple,
blogs like this are monitored by us and
if they go further over the line
we can and will get them pulled.

ED...We here at the Media Report have
to refute the idea that said person is
"friendless" but do confirm the
vial "shunnings" by both WATE and
knoxviews.com.
As for the rest of your note,
when read to said recipient through
a closed bathroom door the muffled
reply sounded something like EAT ME!
Upon exiting said Water Closet the
request for a reply was again submitted
but the only remark given over the
sound of the flushing toilet was..."I feel great..
THAT would do honor to a QUARTER HORSE!"


WHAT YOU LOOKEN AT WHITE GIRL? I DONE CLEANED ALL DEM WINDOWS, DON'T GO TELLING ME THAT ONE WAY UP ON THE LEFT IS DIRTY!

POA signs off

Dr. Paul Brown - AKA Paul "Oscar" Anderson has passed away. The noted local
radio personality was at Hillcrest West, Highland West will be handling the arrangements and the receiving of friends is Monday (June 8th) from 6-8.

POA was WNOX mornings and actually turned the station around. The morning ratings fight between WKGN and WNOX was legendary until POA came to the Big 99.
The man only did news, but the way he did it and what he wrapped the facts of the story in made
the top of the hour a destination for listeners.

Dash over to http://www.ktownradio.blogspot.com/ for a taste of POA and if you knew the guy either personally or as a fan, send them a story or two.

STOP THE PRESSSSSSSSSSSSSES!

HEAVEN HELP US ALL, LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW!


High-ranking House Democrats (DON'T MISS THEIR NAMES..LORD ONE IS A GUY NAMED...Edolphus) are urging the Treasury Department to prop up minority-owned broadcasters suffering from a lack of capital and lost advertising revenue amid the economic slump.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is leading an effort to convince Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (A TOTAL DORKASSFOOL WHO HAS PROVEN TO THE NATION HE IS COMING UP WAY SHORT IN THE BRAINS DEPARTMENT) to take “decisive action” by extending credit to this sector of the broadcasting industry.

Clyburn and other senior members, including House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) (KILL ME NOW..THE BARNEY FRANK WHO NEVER MET A FANNY HE DIDN'T LOVE) and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (HEY CHUCK PAY YOUR DANG TAXES OK?) (D-N.Y.), argue that minority-owned broadcasters are sound businesses, but that the recession could undermine the government’s efforts to diversify the airwaves. (DID THEY SAY THE GOVERNMENT'S EFFORTS? I THOUGHT WE WERE THE GOVERNMENT AND IF WE ARE WE COULD GIVE A RAT'S SOUTHBOUND IF THESE STATIONS GO BELLY UP TOMORROW!)

A number of members from the Congressional Black Caucus signed the letter, too. (WOW I AM SO SHOCKED!..NOT!)

“While many jobs are at stake, a more important principle — the government’s fundamental interest in promoting a diversity of voices, including service to underserved communities — is severely threatened,” (HECK, I THOUGHT THE GOVERNMENT WAS HERE FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE..NEVER KNEW IT WAS TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY? LIVE AND LEARN!) the members write in a draft of a letter that was scheduled to be sent Tuesday.

The letter comes as some of the biggest recipients of government bailout money, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, jockey to repay government bailout money. As banks seek a way out from the government’s restrictions, other industries struggle and seek government support. Some firms seeking to repay the government argue that the government’s restrictions have burdened their businesses.

The congressmen suggest the Treasury Department could provide access to capital to minority-owned broadcasters, which they say represent less than 7 percent of full-power radio stations and a “negligible” ownership of television stations. (LORD YES THEY REPRESENT LESS THAN 7 BECAUSE FULL POWER RADIO STATIONS ARE ALL BUILT AROUND THE IDEA OF MAKING MONEY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SEVEN TALKED ABOUT ABOVE!)

“They are looking for continued access to capital to continue their otherwise fundamentally sound operations,” the members write. (HEY MEMBERS IF THEY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND THEN THEY DO NOT NEED O U R TAX DANG DOLLARS!)

The letter suggests Treasury could set up a credit facility specific to the industry, similar to the government’s efforts to support auto suppliers, or possibly set up a program for bridge financing and government-backed loans until the economy improves. (OR HERE IS A BETTER IDEA OUR TREASURY SHOULD RUN FROM THIS FASTER THAN A MAN TRYING TO CARRY A FLAT SCREEN OUT OF SEARS IN A RIOT!)

“In addition to the credit crisis, also weighing heavily on minority broadcasters is a significant decline in advertising revenues, particularly the loss of automobile advertising,” the congressmen write. (HEY CONGRESSMEN, CAR ADVERTISING IS DOWN AT ALL STATIONS, IF YOU ARE REALLY GOING TO DO THIS SACK OF BULL FECES IDEA THEN LETS SEND SOME CHECKS TO ALL OF THEM!)

The members are asking for a meeting with the Treasury Department and minority-owned broadcast entities and representatives from the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters. (GOD TO TO HAVE THE FRIED CHICKEN CONCESSION AT THAT MEETING!)

Other members signing the letter are Democratic Reps. Bobby Rush (Ill.), Edolphus (WHERE IN THE HECK DID YOUR MOMMA GET THAT NAME EDOLPHUS?) Towns (N.Y.), Maurice (PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE NOT THE SAME MAURICE THAT IS THE GANGSTER OF LOVE?) Hinchey (N.Y.), Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.), Maxine Waters (OH NO...SHE IS CRAZIER THAN TWO OUT HOUSE RATS!) (Calif.), Gregory Meeks (N.Y.), G.K. Butterfield (N.C.), Barbara Lee (Calif.), Lynn Woolsey (Calif.) and Bennie Thompson (Miss.)


WE ARE IN SUCH TROUBLE IF THIS KIND OF COW DOO DOO (words Whoopie used on TV to describe a FOX NEWS show host) EVEN GETS A LEG UP LET ALONE PASSES!


FRIENDS and FELLOW AMERICANS PASS THIS ON AND USE IT AS ONE MORE NEEDLE TO REMIND EVERYONE THE ELECTIONS OF 2010 ARE A BIG STEP IN GETTING OUR NATION BACK!

THE MEDIA REPORT CRASH

After almost two weeks of no activity the
most read blog in Greenback, Old Tazwell,
and Hornwald has announced a total reorganization.

Due to the complexion of the financial
market and an unmanageable debt,
The Media Report has sold controlling
interest to the noted Mexican financier,
Uno Richsumbitch.

On the editorial side of the
page the cost of reporters, writers
and editors has been slashed by
following the money savings model of
the E.W. Scripps Co. outlined below.

1. The 401K plan has now been
scrapped, all those eligible or
contributing to the old 401K plan
will now be on board with the new
plan. All questions about where
your money is now should be sent in
writing to GOWHISTLEUPYOURASSFORIT
@ Manhattan, New York, United States
and please put to the attention of..
Bernard Madoff.

2. All "remaining" staff
will be cut back to a two day
work week, with a minimum of
24 required work hours per day.

4. All staff working hours over 40 will
be given the world famous Chinese
Over Time,

5. All reporters will stop reporting
and begin making up a minimum of
three stories an hour.

6. All stories must be sponsored by
either the writer or a rich relative of
said writer.



With the new influx of cash
The Media Report will be
able to continue to
sponsor their racing team,,
featuring the fastest gal
driver in the sport Mona Mamothmounds

The new publisher of The Media
Report is excited to continue
the tradition of reporting all
the news fit to make up concerning
both the local tribes and now
the cable, over the air, and
new digital media minions.

All contributions (posts) will
still be unedited, welcome and
revered by the new management
team and the very small but
well paid staff of writers
left in the bunker.


On a sad note, Management
at The Media Report
regrets to inform
all employees who went to
lunch yesterday and upon returning
found their desk contents
on the street and the locks changed
that "IF" you felt some of your personal items
were not returned to you, we will not
be taking your calls or meeting with you
to discuss the situation.

If you persist in calling and
dropping by to continue the discussion
we suggest you take it up with
our new SECURITY GUARD,
Lamar...

One bright one darkspot

Moments ago...according to Zeek's new fake
Rolex

The Knoxville News Sentinel
cut their folks PAY!
Zeek is worried about
the last big newspaper
in Knoxville. Their
owners announced that even
with all the political ads
they ran..the company...has
posted a big fat LOSS!

As Zeek says it don't
take much to figure if
you get a gift such as
a presidential campaign
advertising budget and still
lose dollars, things
are going to get
worse before they get better!

As he was telling our fashion
and society editor, Modine Gunch,
Knoxvull still needs a big paper
and if it were to pass away
it would be a shame.

Put away your hankie,
here be some GREAT NEWS!!!

The Dude that road in the front
seat when Air America went down in
flames and then opened another lib talk
radio network has just seen it ALSO
burp and die!

Randi Rodes (famed GW hater and
lib) could be one of those who
will be kept off the air if this boys
network can't get a jump start from
Al-Kida or one of their other
under the table sponsors!

Now if MSNBC will follow their lead
and turn off the lights we will be able
to truly say we have made two giant
steps toward solving the problem of
AIR POLLUTION!

WATE BANKRUPTCY

First...these are Y O U R
posted comments on the financial
problems of Young Broadcasting and
their Knoxville station..Channel 6

NEW YORK -- Young Broadcasting Inc., owner of 10 TV stations affiliated with the CBS and ABC networks, including two in Tennessee, said Friday it has filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. bankruptcy court in the Southern District of New York.

The New York-based company said it will continue to operate the stations without interruption.

"Our decision to restructure through a Chapter 11 filing will allow the company to bring its debt in line with current economic realities so that we can emerge a stronger and more financially secure company. It is important to note that we are restructuring our debt, not our operations," says Chairman Vincent Young in a written statement.

TV broadcasters in the U.S. are under pressure as the economic downturn sends advertising revenue spiraling downward. Credit rating agency Moody's Investors Service warned last week that broadcasters entered the recession with high levels of debt and already were struggling to retain audiences as more customers turn to portable gadgets and the Web for entertainment.

At the same time, broadcasters -- and some of their cable counterparts -- are facing tough times absent must-see television such as major political campaigns or the Olympics.

On Thursday, the country's fourth-largest cable operator Charter Communications Inc., said it expects to file for bankruptcy by April 1 and get relief from creditors.

The St. Louis-based company has never made a profit since it began trading publicly in 1999.

And last December, Chicago-based Tribune Co., which owns flagship newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, The (Baltimore) Sun, The Hartford Courant and other dailies, as well as 23 television stations and the Chicago Cubs baseball team, sought bankruptcy protection amid a $13 billion debt load and sinking ad revenues.

Young Broadcasting owns a national television representation firm, Adam Young Inc., and the following stations:

WATE-TV in Knoxville, Tenn. (ABC)

WKRN-TV in Nashville, Tenn. (ABC)

WTEN-TV in Albany, N.Y. (ABC)

WRIC-TV in Richmond, Va. (ABC)

WBAY-TV in Green Bay, Wis. (ABC)

WLNS-TV in Lansing, Mich. (CBS)

KLFY-TV in Lafayette, La. (CBS)

KELO-TV in Sioux Falls, S.D. (CBS)

KWQC-TV in Davenport, Iowa (NBC)

KRON-TV in San Francisco

Anonymous #2--You have permission to kiss my rosy red ass. I'll contribute anything I damn well please. Get off your own lazy ass and find something to contribute instead of bitching about what someone else has added. The story above is confirmation of what Walker wrote earlier. If you can't handle copy & paste, stick your head back in your ass where it belongs.

Are we a little aggravated Mr. WATE
copy and paste poster?..What will you copy and paste next?..Sure it'll be something already covered
in Walker's blog!!...and I'll just stay on my lazy ass and post about idiots like you!!..and I don't need permission to kick your ass do I?...that's what I thought..How about you posting something new and relevant?..go on if you can


STOP THE SHOW! HOLD YOUR HORSES!
GET A GRIP!

WE (the management and staff of THE MEDIA REPORT)
must comment on this exchange between
the two obviously irritated posters.

WHEN someone suggests a CRANIAL ANAL INSERT
we must put our foot down our raise our hands to
the heavens and do our best to ENCOURAGE more of
such exchanges! ZEEK ESPECIALLY LOVES
THE PASSION AND FIRE!


As for the situation at WATE...
The MR Legal Eagle, Shifty J. Grisham
tells us that Bankruptcy tant always
a bad thing, for the OWNERS of the joint.
Shifty also said there are more chapters of
Bankruptcy than there are of his new book,
"The Mutilated Client Who Skipped On His Lawyers Bill"
Shifty would have explained the ins and outs of
the one WATE and their owners are in (Chapter 11) but
he said he would have to kick in the meter and
suggested we let you the interested click right here for
the inside skinny. Just before he left to
have lunch with a soon to be HOT Divorcee he is representing
he mentioned something about talent contracts
and pay just MIGHT be reset or at the least renegotiated
not unlike those of the Unions at GM. When asked
to elaborate he yelled he had no time
due the fact he had to make a pre-lunch
run by the Whiskey Store for a quart
of Wild Turkey.

Naturally Young Broadcasting (WATE's mother ship) announced late on a Friday to keep the flack to a minimum. STILL, when Zeek was on the heated porcelain throne Saturday morning
he found several mentions of it in the Wall Street Journal.

Unlike the fine release from WATE (see POSTER ONE ABOVE) the
big story talks about a station in Calf being Young Broadcasting's "Bridge Too Far" and kinda blames the
soon to be court appearance on it.

Finally we turned this over
to our Media Psychic the renowned
Hindu from Huntington ISEEFORABUCK and
he says he will do his best to
have an OBE (out of body experience)
and transport his OBE body to
any and all discussions
between staff and suits at
Graystone. He does caution
that often times the results of
his OBEs are determined by the
amount of bribe money he carries
along in is OBE pants.
