Quote of the day:  "I can't force you to rap on the air."

The context of this line is a discussion our station manager, Ashley, had with a sports announcer.

We have a generous sponsor that has requested his spoken businesses underwriting message be presented in rap.  Our sports announcer is an older man who seemed confused by this request to "rap" the underwriting message.

Ashley: We have a request from an underwriter that you rap his message.
Announcer: Umm, I'm confused.
Ashley:  You know, rap, like "yo yo yo!"
Announcer: What do I have to wear for this?
Ashley:  Nothing unusual, you're just announcing behind the camera.
Announcer: What no backwards hat?!
Ashley:  Funny.  This is just what's been requested.  I can't force you to rap on the air.  I'm just suggesting.

This is GrassRoots TVs first blog posting.  My boss, John Masters, has asked me to start this dictation of what's happening at the station.  GrassRoots has such an eclectic mix of users that it might create some interest in the Roaring Fork Valley community.

So cheers to the first posting!  Welcome to the blog for GrassRoots TV.
