There is no media category, so…
Many have commented in the past two weeks about the change of personalities during the 2-6 PM time slot on ESPN700. Most liked Ben, many disliked Gunther, and very few were in favor of “The Return of Checketts”. I commented that I never cared for Checketts, and did not want to have fulltime NBA centric discussions, but would keep an open mind.
I am a long-time ardent supporter of ESPN700, and Bill Riley. As the voice of the Utes and the voice of RSL, Riley runs a station that promotes the only sports about which I am passionate: Utah Football, Utah Basketball, and (a very distant third) RSL.
I am a software professional who travels for business almost weekly, and therefore NEED to get my sports radio content via the web. Often on airplanes, in hotels with sketchy WIFI, etc. I go to a lot of effort to download the day’s interesting interviews (with embedded commercials) via the ESPN website, to my laptop for playback late at night when I finally get the chance to try to sleep. With all the time zone changes, the software industry stress, and my general insomnia, I need the content to help relax and get through the night.
Now my complaint:
Riley, good at what he does, produces a lot of valuable Ute (and RSL) content, and his producer make it all available quickly, on their website, and downloadable. THANK YOU!!!
I have no idea what Checketts is saying, nor whether he is making an attempt to give us Ute coverage, because:
NONE OF HIS CONTENT TO DATE HAS BEEN DOWNLOABLE!
I have no idea what he’s doing or saying!
JP – his producer, always posted all of his previous program (Gunther and Ben) content in a format on the web site that allowed downloading. I have no idea whether JP got lazy when Checketts took over, or perhaps Checketts, has a problem with podcast style distribution of content, but what ever the case, you mjust be online to replay anything.
I’m officially giving up on ESPN700, and have abandon the station that I have religiously tagged as number one on my media list for perhaps a decade.
I need a source of downloadable content that I can depend upon, and the search should not take too long – there is a LOT of good content out there in podcast style distrbution.
Bye Bill!
