BREAKING NEWS: WKYC/3 Gets The Browns
And the deal had to happen quickly. The local NBC affiliate will be carrying the first pre-season game next Thursday, August 10th against the Philadelphia Eagles.
WKYC will also air pre-game and post-game shows for each of the pre-season games it carries this year, as well as a regular Sunday morning pre-game show during the regular season.
"The Point After" will air Monday nights at 7 during the season, and starting September 10th, a local Browns show will air on WKYC after NBC's Sunday Night Football.
And in their announcement, the Browns also confirmed the pre-season broadcast team for the 2006 games:
* Sam Rosen returns to the play-by-play role this year, after taking over that position for the second pre-season game last year.
* As he announced himself, popular former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar will be a regular analyst this pre-season.
* And another member of the 2005 Browns pre-season TV team, former receiver Brian Brennan, will round out the trio in the 2006 TV booth...

While I thought the Browns would go to 5, I can see why they went to 3.
WKYC already had a good team of analysts on staff (including both members of the radio team, a popular former coach, and the team's main newspaper beat writer).
Ch. 3 had been the Browns home station for many years prior, so this is merely a case of getting back on the bike, not starting from scratch.
Finally, WKYC has done a good job with the Indians production wise, so doing the same for football should'nt be a problem.
I do agree with the first post. But how does this effect the contract with surrounding markets to air the games? I assume they will air in Eire,Youngstown,and Columbus but who will air them. In Youngstown, WYTV was scheduled to air them but WYFX/WKBN did air the WKYC games from 1999 to 2004 and for about two years the Monday coaches show and Sunday nite shoiw as well. They also carry the WKYC produced Indians games as well. Can WKYC change who carries the preseason games? Does both FSN Ohio and WKYC get to carry non preseason football games or is it just FSN Ohio. I thought all non preseason games were going to be on FSN but the press realese says that they are airing other programming? In addition ch 19 is doing a preseason and post season show. How can this all be?
How in the hell have heads not rolled at WOIO over this? We know Raycom upper management is angry. We know nothing else WOIO or WUAB is doing is making a dent in the ratings. Time to try something else? Or to take a lead from CBS in Detroit, mired on a forgotten UHF outpost high on the deal, and forget about doing news (or, to be especially unkind, "news") entirely?
Thank God the Browns are on a channel that won't try to have Bob Golic do play-by-play again.
- Ohio Media Watch said...
Good question about the outer markets. We'll try to find out. My guess is that the those outlets won't change due to the switch to WKYC.
FSN Ohio's contract does not include the pre-season games, at least live. They could theoretically carry repeat broadcasts of the WKYC game broadcasts, but that'd have to be announced. As we've said before, the NFL does not allow non-OTA stations to be the primary carrier for these games.
Channel 19 can continue to do any Browns-related theme programming they want, just as WEWS and other stations can. They just don't have the official stamp of team approval anymore. There may be some restrictions as to what the shows can be called, what footage they use, etc.. but anyone can do a "football show".
The out of market stations (Youngstown, etc.) that air the pre-season games will not be affected.
They would have carried the games regardless, it was just a matter of finding a home station to originate the telecast.
The topic of WOIO not doing news has come up before on this blog. The only reason WWJ doesn't do news is that's the one market where CBS knows firsthand how difficult it is to do news on UHF without subcontracting it out. (Which no longer makes any sense with cable, and will make less sense when everything is on digital and mostly UHF in two years. But old habits die hard, consumers and station owners alike.) They still expect it of everyone else in top markets though.
The only other market where CBS owns a UHF CBS station is Austin, TX... where *everyone* except Fox is on UHF.
When Viacom merged with CBS, struggling, newsless WWJ became co-owned with UPN station WKBD, which did fairly well and produced its own newscasts, which were rather successful. Did they move CBS to the longer-established and better-off WKBD? No. Instead, the f'in UPN station became the senior player in the duopoly with the CBS station, producing the newscasts for the CBS station (rather than the other way around like, oh, I don't know, EVERY OTHER ONE-STATION-PRODUCES-NEWS-FOR-ANOTHER ARRANGEMENT IN THE COUNTRY INVOLVING UPN/WB/CW/MYNET), and when those failed, WKBD shut down its news entirely and had WXYZ start producing its news. Now that's over too, and now *neither* station has any news (WKBD is now moving to the CW).
I know I'm veering away from Ohio and going off on a rant here, but does anyone know why CBS didn't move to WKBD once the merger came and stick WWJ with UPN, instead of bringing down WKBD with it? I can see why WKBD would decline when New World robbed CBS of long-running affiliate WJBK, if only because other stations did too, but once it's all part of the same family was there anything that could have possibly kept it from happening?
Okay, off-topic rant over.
CBS spent alot of money upgrading WWJ-TV signal and tower making it one of the most powerful stations in Michigan. That and the fact people in Detroit had gotten used to CBS on 62 and UPN on 50. But you are 100% correct and when it comes to Detroit and Pittsburgh they can be compaired to Cleveland so it fits I think.
Obviously WKYC is wasting no time--I saw the first Browns' promo this evening in between My Name is Earl and The Office.
hmmm... curious how Sportstime Ohio happens to have an agreement with WKYC and now the Browns make an agreement with WKYC. Seems a bit fishy to me... Of course they couldn't make any official announcement about STO, but my guess is that the Dolans are behind this and the Browns are simply using that 9-1-1 call as an excuse.
- Ohio Media Watch said...
You forget one thing - STO is not the official cable outlet of the team, FSN Ohio is.
Though STO doesn't seem to have many problems doing its "Training Camp Daily" show from Berea, and it's using Browns radio voice/WKYC sports director/STO jack-of-all-trades Jim Donovan on that show...
STO's "Training Camp Daily" show is an independently produced show.
Any and all stations can do all the Browns themed shows they want.
It's just the "Official Home(s)" of the Browns can actually use the Browns name in the titles of these shows.
In other words, it (supposedly) puts some extra luster to a show to have the Browns' seal of approval.
I kind of can't wait for WOIO's "Tailgate 19" Sunday pre-game show to see the vile that will be spewed out.
It's a train wreck kind of thing.
- Ohio Media Watch said...
Yeah, I know that...in fact, I allude to it in a comment a couple of comments up from there.
By "doesn't seem to have many problems", I was thinking about things like access to the training camp, access to players, etc.
The list of rules is longer this year (see our earlier report on that). But the team doesn't seem to be impeding anyone - even 19 - from setting up live shots and shows from there...there are just no "props" allowed, etc.
Even FSN Ohio's now-officially sanctioned show... the set where Michael Reghi is is likely in Independence, not Berea.
And yes, 19's coverage will be interesting to watch. Our guess? A lot of Golic and Dixon...
Would Sharon Reed count as a prop?
You mean Bob Golic won't be doing play by play this year? I was so looking forward to it too!

We just completed a raucous and divisive political campaign
We just completed a raucous and divisive political campaign that seemed to split our nation in half. Yet tomorrow we gather together in the singularly most accepted holiday among our diverse population � a day to offer thanks for the blessings of our lives and liberties. It is time, however fleeting, set aside to highlight our collective gifts and downplay our differences.
A part of my circle of family and friends will gather tomorrow like millions of my fellow Americans. I am thankful for so many things including:
That raucous political system that is neither for the weak nor the uncommitted and ultimately, whether we agree with the outcomes or not, ensures the people�s will is heard. And for politicians. I�m thankful they want their jobs. Without these dedicated people we have anarchy.
And for our founding fathers that put aside most of their personal desires and risked their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" for the benefit of America�s liberty. For free enterprise. For the rule of informed law vice ignorant opinion.
For the wisdom of our Constitution. For that in America we utter oaths not to a person but to those values of liberty and law enshrined in that timeless document.
For the unique American freedom to be and achieve who and what we want. For the fact that a black man who a mere 160 years ago might have been a slave instead today is our 44th president.
For the spirit of individualism that still thrives in America, even as we collectively come together when required "one nation under God." That our nation�s motto remains "In God We Trust" and that we are still the most freely religious nation on earth.
For the diversity of America that makes us stronger and ensures a mosaic of ideas, beliefs, art and music. For Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Mozart and the scores of composers, musicians, orchestras, and bands who brought us and continue to bring us classic and timeless music that both soothes and energizes our souls.
For our lack of perfection. For all our own personal mistakes and flaws and those of our nation, we grow stronger and are better because of our blunders more so than from our triumphs.
For the Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Central Intelligence and Drug Enforcement Agencies, FBI, Border Patrol, police officers and other law enforcement personnel, firefighters and all those willing to place themselves in harm�s way to protect us and our way of life.
For mothers and fathers who put aside, often forever, their own personal desires and dreams to raise America�s next generation to productive adulthood. For the discipline of fathers, the tenderness of mothers, the friendship of brothers and sisters, and for the romantic love of spouses. For the warm embrace of our families, friends and neigbors.
For all the women of the world who add beauty, grace, tenderness, and compassion to our lives, are naturally endowed with a desire to deal in consensus rather than conflict, and teach us that a strong heart ultimately wins over brawn and even brain.
For the janitors, hotel cleaning staffs, and rest room cleaners, fast food servers, clerks, plumbers, auto mechanics, electricians, garbage men, dishwashers and waitresses, disabled and elderly care givers, farmers, fruit and vegetable pickers and poultry workers, construction workers, nurses, teachers, air traffic controllers, and all those unheralded (and often underpaid and overworked) amongst us who enrich and ease our lives.
For the laughter and innocence of children.
For small-town newspapers that continue to thrive against the assault of the Internet due to the leadership, work ethic, and skills of very small staffs of dedicated publishers, editors, writers, and photographers who care about their communities.
For dogs and their unfailing loyalty, and blindness to our flaws. For dogwood trees and the show they put on twice a year: bright red now � white flowers peeking from forest edge in the spring.
For the animals that sacrifice their lives for our sustenance.
For sunrises that illuminate first the tops of trees slowly moving down to light the base of their trunks. For full moons whose light glitters off the water�s surface like a million diamonds.
For other things that are free yet priceless like fresh air, sunshine, a gentle spring rain, roadside wildflowers, and the crackling, smoky warmth of a wood fire.
For the ticking of clocks that sound the passing seconds of our lives, each second irreplaceable and never to be relived. For the wisdom of my favorite poem (author unknown):
"The clock of life is wound but once.
Now is the only time you own.
So live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in time.
For the clock may soon be still."

You're both out: Managers tossed for arguing calls
TORONTO (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke and Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons were both ejected for arguing separate plays in the eighth inning of Toronto's 7-4 victory Wednesday.
Roenicke was ejected for the first time this season after arguing that Toronto's Steve Tolleson had swung at a two-strike pitch that hit him in the right foot.
First base umpire Phil Cuzzi ejected Roenicke, who came out on the field to continue arguing. Bench coach Jerry Narron took over for him.
One batter later, Tolleson was ruled safe as he advanced to second on a wild pitch. Narron came out to argue and the call was overturned following review.
That brought Gibbons out for an argument with plate umpire and crew chief Greg Gibson, leading to the second ejection of Gibbons this season.

Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Giggles N' Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL), owner and operator of family-friendly restaurants that bring together high-end, organic food with active, cutting-edge play and entertainment for children, retained the services of Todd Star, a highly-regarded and successful senior executive with nearly three decades of real estate industry experience, to aid in its growth strategy development.
Star's experience as a senior executive for Westfield USA, overseeing its west coast leasing operations for 14 years, is a strong asset to the Company as he leads its expansion negotiations with several of the largest mall owners in the U.S., including General Growth Properties, Simon Property Group, and Westfield Group, who collectively own more than 500 properties worldwide.
"Todd brings a vast amount of Real estate experience and knowlege to the table and we are thrilled to have him on our team" commented Joey Parsi, founder and CEO of Giggles N' Hugs. "He knows the mall operators better than most and as a result, we believe he can help us negotiate terms that will be advantages to the company going forward."
Giggles N' Hugs is currently focused on expanding its footprint on the West Coast, initially targeting five properties in markets that include Seattle and San Francisco in the north and San Diego and Orange County in the south. Longer term, the Company intends to expand to key markets nationally and internationally. As part of its expansion strategy, the Company is seeking significant discounts from current market rents and attractive tenant allowances to reduce construction costs for each new Giggles N' Hugs location.
"We're very excited to enter our next phase of operations and to begin replicating the success we've experienced with our first three locations in the Los Angeles markets," commented Parsi. "While we're doing great in Southern California, where we're known for our warm weather and sunny climate, we anticipate our results will be even better in markets where the weather is often less than ideal."
Parsi continued, "When it rains, which has not happened a lot here in Los Angeles, people tend to come indoors to Giggles N' Hugs to play rather than go to the park or other outdoor spaces. Same is true with birthday parties, which are a very high-margin business for us. People can't do their parties in their backyard or a park when it rains, so we get massive bookings on rainy days and our sales go through the roof. This unique characteristic of our business should produce higher revenues and profit margins in markets like San Francisco and Seattle where it rains most of the year, driving strong shareholder value improvement as we move forward with our expansion."
About Giggles N' Hugs
Giggles N' Hugs is the first and only restaurant that brings together high-end, organic food with active, cutting-edge play and entertainment for children. Every Giggles N' Hugs location offers an upscale, family-friendly atmosphere with a dedicated play area that children 10 and younger absolutely love. We feature high-quality menus made from fresh and local foods, nightly entertainment such as magic shows, concerts, puppet shows and face painting, and hugely popular party packages for families that want to do something special.

Where the Jobs Are – 2015 Update: Demand for EHR/HIT Certifications
When Carl Bergman isn't rooting for the Washington Nationals or searching for a Steeler bar, he's Managing Partner of EHRSelector.com.For the last dozen years, he's concentrated on EHR consulting and writing. He spent the 80s and 90s as an itinerant project manager doing his small part for the dot com bubble. Prior to that, Bergman served a ten year stretch in the District of Columbia government as a policy and fiscal analyst, a role he recently repeated for a Council member.
One year ago, I looked at the demand for EHR related certifications. I found, as the old line goes, that many are called but few are chosen. Of 30 or so certificate programs, only about a quarter had substantial demand. In fact, 1 had no demand.
Study Update
Finding Certification Programs. To bring the study up to date, I looked for new certificates or ones I'd overlooked. I found one, CEHRS, Certified Electronic Health Record Specialist Certification from the National Healthcareer Association.
Searching for Jobs. As with last year's study, I then used Healthcare Scene's Healthcare IT Central to search for jobs posted in the last 30 days that require an EHR or HIT certification.
Certifications Reviewed
Table I lists the 12 certifications, which had at least one job opening. Last year, I found at least 16 certifications with at least one opening. That is, this year as shown in Table II, I found no mentions for 15 certificates.
Table I
Certifications In Demand
Table II, lists the 12 certifications that had no openings in the last 30 days.
Table II
Certifications Without Demand
Review Caveats
What Counts. Each certification listed in a job counts as one opening. For example, if a job listed ComTIA, CPHIMS and CPEHR, I counted it as three jobs, one for each certification.
General certifications only. For practical reasons, this review only covers general certifications that have a one word abbreviation. Where the abbreviation isn't unique, I've filtered out non certificate uses.
No EDUs. I excluded certificates from colleges, universities, etc., whether traditional or on line. There are scads of these, but I'm not aware of any that are in general demand. That's not a judgment on their value, just their demand.
Vendor Certifications I excluded product specific certifications, for example, NexGen Certified Professional.
Dynamics. The openings for these certifications are a snapshot. The job market and the openings that Healthcare IT Central lists constantly change. What is true now, could change in a moment. However, I believe it gives you a good idea of relative demand.
Certification Demand
In the past 30 days, I found 322 openings that listed a certification. See Chart I. As with last year, AHIMA's were most in demand. Two of its certificate programs, RHIA and RHIT account for 60 percent of certificate demand.
RHIA's designed to show a range of managerial skills, rather than in depth technical ability. If you consider certifications proof of technical acumen, then the strong RHIA demand is a bit counter intuitive. Where the RHIA has a broad scope, the close second, RHIT, is more narrowly focused on EHRs.
In third place, but still with a substantial demand is CCS, which focuses on a specific ability. Compared to last year, CCS has fewer openings. This is due to a change in my methodology not demand. Last year, I counted any CCS opening. This year, I only count those with a clear HIT relationship.
Certification Location Demand
After looking at certification demand, I looked at it by state. To do this, I merged the different certification job openings into a single list. That is, I added those for RHIA, RHIT, etc., and then eliminated duplicates.
After creating a consolidated list, I sorted and subtotaled by state. I then sorted the state totals. This gave me the data for Chart II. It shows the top ten states for openings, including/ two ties.
State Rankings. As you might expect, states with the largest populations have the most jobs. California leads, which is what you'd expect.
To account for population, I take job rank from population rank. For example, Washington State is 13th in population. It's eight in job openings. So, subtracting job rank eight from population rank 13 is five. That is, Washington State's job share is five ranks above its population ranking. Chart III shows the result where states stand when you account for population.
Most notable is Colorado. Colorado is 22nd in population, but fifth in certification demand. That is job openings for it are 17 ranks higher than population would account for.
Others ranking higher than their population are: Missouri, Arizona, Tennessee, Wisconsin, etc. Conversely, those states, which have openings below their rank, include New York, Pennsylvania and Florida.
Missouri's case is interesting. Almost all its openings are from one company: Altegra. Its openings are almost all for one position type: medical record field reviewer. At first, I thought this was a case of over posting, but it doesn't appear to be. They're recruiting for several different locations.
Certification Demand Trends
When I stated this update, I expected there would be more jobs due to economic growth, but that hasn't happened. There've been shifts among states, but overall the demand is pretty much the same. RHIA and RHIT demand last year and this year are practically identical while demand for others has dropped. I don't have any numbers for overall openings then and now, but I suspect that they've grown while certification demand has either gone down or been flat. However, as I've said that's just a guess.
Certifications are a response to the demand for persons with demonstrated skills. The question is whether one will reward your time, cost and effort with something that is marketable. Demand alone can't make that choice for you. For example, working on a certificate that has little or no demand might seem pointless. However, its requirements may be a good way for you to acquire demonstrate your skills, especially if your experience is iffy.
Personal satisfaction also can't be discounted as a factor. You might be interested in an area with low demand, but when coupled with your other skills might make you marketable in an area you desire.
If you do decide to pursue one of these certificates, I think these numbers can help you know where to look and what to look for.

Hey Tim
I have been using 3.7.001 RC (5/20/09).
In my daily usage, I have seen no real issues to report. There is a weird thing that happens with the text in Scripture Pad. There are times when the last character typed (especially after a font characteristic change) does not display, or is not fully displayed (corrects when the next character is typed)
Please know that I have only been using, I have not had an opportunity to sit down and stress it.
Kubuntu 9.04
On my ubuntu box:
When I use the font buttons, BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE the font displays erratic.
When I use the selections from the SP menu, they seem to work ok.
This is not a show stopper, just the chars display oddly. Best if you just try it.
I will look at it from my kubuntu box later tonight

Samoa Health Ministry hears allegations of prostitution
Allegations of another prostitution ring ongoing at the Ministry of Health compound in Moto'outa, Samoa have been addressed by Samoa Health officials.
Samoa Observer reports that the Health Ministry has met with officials of the Shanghai Construction Company, the Chinese company building one of the wings of the hospital, about the reports. It's alleged that it's the Chinese construction workers from the company who are paying money to have sex with local women.
Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Health, Palanitina Tupuimatagi Toelupe told Samoa Observer that the Managers of Shanghai Company "did not know about these incidents. Samoa Observer reports that Toelupe had discussed the matter with the Shanghai Company and the company assured Toelupe they would deal with it.
Samoa Observer reports that the alleged operation at Moto'otua surfaced several weeks ago in a letter to the Samoa Observer highlighting events between "Samoan ladies and Chinese workers" working on the new National Hospital wing.
The letter said Chinese workers used an "abandoned house" to meet young Samoan women in the evenings. When the Samoa Observer checked it out over a couple of nights, it seemed that the operation was not the best-kept secret in the area.
Many security guards in the area were aware of what was happening. The Samoa Observer discovered that the "abandoned house" was in fact an open Samoan fale with nothing in the way of furniture except for a single chair.
The Samoa Observer found that the chair was used by a large Samoan lady who behaved like a madam, accepting monies from Chinese males.
A security guard, who did not want to be named, told the Samoa Observer that it has been happening for a long time. Mrs. Toelupe said it is mindboggling to figure out how anything could be done without anyone noticing.
She said the curfew for all Shanghai workers is eight o'clock in the evening then they return to their housing and the gates are closed.
"Even our night guards say that they have seen nothing happening at the fale during the two hours the workers are given free time," she said.
"The reports by our night guards make no mention of these practices being done in this particular fale. "Once a property is fenced off for construction, it becomes the property of the construction company. We put our faith and understanding in them that these incidents would not happen."
Mrs. Toelupe said Shanghai workers have been given a stern warning that anyone caught engaging in these illegal practices would immediately be sent back to China.
"Our night watchmen have been advised to continue to watch all MOH properties and to make sure that these incidents do not happen again," she said.
In the meantime another prostitution case is before the court where a couple in Samoa are facing 13 criminal charges in connection with prostitution. Metala James 34, and Sanele Sanele 30, are accused of running a prostitution operation involving five young girls.
The couple vehemently denied the allegations against them during a hearing last week before District Court Judge Mata Tuatagaloa. Samoa Observer reports the girls told the court that they were forced into having sex with men for as little as $20 a session.
It was alleged that in one session, one of the girls had sex with three Chinese men for $50. The case of Metala and Sanele is pending in the court. In the meantime Samoa Assistant Police Commissioner Leaupepe Fatu Pula told Samoa News the Samoa police are continuing their investigation into this matter. He said the police are doing regular patrols in the area.
