VOTB, I think it's really important that we keep these games on here in Boise, and I'll certainly do all I can do to help. About 10-15 years ago or so, Kathy Ellis was an administrator at the ISU Center here, and she made appointments with station managers and gave a very nice professional presentation to try to convince these people why they should carry ISU games. I know in the last 15-20 years or so, these games have been bounced around from different stations here, but they've always had the games on here for quite some time -- until this year. And there are at least several thousand ISU alums in the Treasure Valley area who would like to listen to these. Would you like to me to contact these station managers, and I can try to set an appointment and talk to them about the benefits of broadcasting these games? BTW, 1140 KGEM and 1490 KCID in Caldwell are owned by the same company, and they just got bought out by another company in SLC, and they'll probably both be changing their formats at around the end of the month -- I think. So it wouldn't hurt to go back to these stations and talk with them, if you think I should do this. We really need a presence in this area.
