Guy James Show canceled today because of technical problems
Sorry gang. I was ready to do a great show today but the radio station wasn't. The weekend board-op couldn't figure out how to get things going. I'm more than a little pissed.

Very sorry,
Guy

2. So sorry Guy... how disappointing...
for what it is worth... your fans were clammoring for the show - that is a good thing. Hope they work the bugs out quickly.

3. I don't know what you can do about this.
Either they're capable, and as the largest group of stations in the market they bloody well ought to be, or they're not.

Either that or you're just getting sabotaged by the mofos.

5. I'm sorry you're having technical problems
with the new station. I really have no idea how many hours you put in during the week to make this show a reality, so I don't want to say, "I know how hard you've worked", but damn it, I know you've worked hard & to have it fall apart for such a stupid reason (which is not your fault) really sucks. Bigtime.:mad:

We'll be here to listen to next week's show.:hug:

6. Guy...it seems that
technical problems are the rule rather than the exception since you moved. Perhaps you should go back to the old digs?

7. Thanks for letting us know.
Definitely not your fault.

Frustrating all the way around. Was looking forward to a year's end wrap-up show.

So, did the right-wing talkshow hosts get their shows cancelled, too? Dead air all around this weekend at the station? Or did it just happen on your time?

8. Did she also screw up the regular broadcast?
Or was it just the feed?

9. He said he left after 25 minutes
so I'm guessing the show didn't air at all today. Shame... I really look forward to this.

15. Let's see...The station determines which producers/techs will work...
...on which shows and when.

When I say "the Station" I suppose that means the station manager or program manager.

I hate to speculate but this is a very impressive building housing live TV news as well as 6 or seven radio channels. all with live DJs, so how could they possibly be so fucking incompetant?
