    Radio Coverage

    It's embarrassing that when visiting Shreveport, I can't get reliable radio coverage of Tech baseball. I'm capable of finding online streaming on 97.7 but for our not so capable fans in Shreveport/Bossier not to have even an AM options in Shreveport is pathetic.

    Our Learfield reps have been inept to this point. Both have been fired. Neither knew about the radio business other than "gathering dots" and that was only for football. They are responsible for cutting back on live baseball coverage, but we have never had more than one station covering baseball so they kind of get a pass on that. Before Learfield that one station was 107.5. While 97.7 still reaches out there, it's nothing like 107.5.

    For some reason many of our fans will not hold our AD accountable for the lack of coverage and marketing. He has control no matter what his lemmings say.

    97.7 stops about halfway between Ruston and Bosdier. It's frustrating not being able to listen. Whoever dropped the ball should be working to get this corrected. It is frustrating!

    Until our AD (and probably our President) hear from enough fans things will not change. We should always expect more and not be satisfied with being the school who does more with less.

    I agree-we still have very small school mentality in our leader. The mindset needs to change to be successful!

    KXKZ reaches (good coverag) from Minden to Delhi E/W and from Winnfield to ElDorado N/S

    We need one more station in Shreveport, Cenla, and Tallulah or Oak Grove. None of the "stations" Learfield has picked up in those areas are real radio stations.

    At a minimum, what do you think the potential listening audience is?

    Hell, I'm sitting in Dillon, CO, and listening to espn977.com . Don't get much better than this, 5 games in 4 days, fire, couple of good snow showers, a little Booker's. Not fussing at Learfield, the Dawg AD, the baseball coach, the administration, or Donald Trump. Ignorance is BLISS.

    Why do you ask?

    Stations make money by selling advertising. Learfield charges stations to carry our product but does not assist the stations in selling advertising. It's really a screwed up model that may work in large metro areas selling P5 teams, but it won't work here.

    LaTech is marketing an unknown and is in a growth mode. We (Learfield) are not in a position to demand anything from radio (or local TV) at this point.

    Thanks have been given many times to the recently fired Learfield rep for giving us free audio streaming after Ellenburger and our AD ignored pleas for the same. Don't give the EllAyeTech AD credit for anything related to media relations. He is clueless.

    Learfield has been a trainwreck the last few years, at minimum. I look forward to our contract being up with them soon? and finding a competitor who will do a much better job in every facet.

    I checked for the dates and DD signed a 10 year deal with them in 08-09 so not sure we can wait that long!

    Re: Radio Coverage

    Minden is really the furthest west you can clearly get 97.7 on the radio.

    Let's start by getting our non-conference baseball games back on the radio. There was no excuse for Learfield to take those games off the airwaves.

    A coach's show last Monday and this coming Monday would've been nice, too. And the Monday after that.

    I only ask to find out what the potential listening audience would be. I didn't ask for your commentary of Learfield.
