When someone isn't doing something correctly, if you don't voice the displeasure nothing will get fixed. I'm sure we will get some form letter sent to us, but I will continue writing until it gets at least an explanation--or I hope we get a valid explanation. When we do, I will be certain to share it or if you get one, please email it to me and I will post it. An afternoon simulcast show is a great idea. Sportsbeat is just a no brainer to me. I think it's a lack of talented salespeople, because Pittsburgh sports pulls the ratings. Mike, I’m in the camp that does believe it makes a difference.

I guess it comes down to a lack of advertizers especially the national type. One of the reasons I signed up with Directv was to be able to get FSN Pitt. Do you think if people around the country like me called up Directv and complained something might get done?
