Comments and suggestions (as prompted by this morning's Coffeebreak)
I wrote an email to Rick, Terry, and Chris at WCYN a few moments ago. Here is a copy for your viewing pleasure:
In regard to the propsed topics that weren’t addressed, I would like to offer criticism on the website. There are several pages that aren’t being used, or are not being used to their full potential. My suggestions follow:
- The Staff page:
- While both on air and behind the scenes staff are listed, the page seems to be lacking.
- Short biographys of the staff would give an interesting and personal touch.
- mailto: anchors would be a nice addition to the e-mail addresses listed.
- Employment page
- The paragraph is centered instead of justified. Just an error I noticed.
- Photo Album
- The page is blank. Why not throw some photos up there? Possible pictures could be of the building, transmitters, staff, equipment, events, regular guests, etc.
- About Us
- WCYN has an interesting story. Why not share it?
- The station’s birth, past owners and programming.
- The station’s sale and “re-birth” or continuing tradition.
- This page could be used to link back to the staff page where mention of the current staff had worked throughout the history.
- Advertisers
- Only one advertiser is listed on this page…
- Wink Web Solutions
- I noticed that this page is not linked anywhere. I had to google it to find it.
- Link the page, and list it on the advertisers page if revenue from this would be desired.
- Cute biker animation…
Coffeebreak Nation
On this morning’s Coffeebreak…
At the beginning of this morning’s show, Rick made the announcement that today is an important day–it’s his mother’s birthday. Happy Birthday to Rose Chasteen.
Mention was made that in spite of the change to fall, we are still experiencing summer weather–today’s high will be near 90°. Is it due to global warming? Peggy and Terry think so, Rick’s unsure.
Rick asked a question to Terry–Rick asked Terry whether he had smelled the stench around Pleasant Street. Rick had been stopped by someone, and asked whether it was due to the new waste water treatment plant. Rick believes that it may just be the river. (Personally, I agree… There is a smell over in the Ladish area…) Rick plans to find out.
Rick asked when fall break was for the Harrison County Board of Education. A caller informed Rick that break is the week of October 8th (this is listed on the Board of Ed. website). Rick thanked the audience for listening – the Coffeebreak Nation.
Rick mentioned that he believed that people need to laugh more–it seems that not near enough people enjoy a good laugh. This led into the discussion of Abe Lincoln being on a plane. Apparently in regard to the Lincoln story, Al Roker had said something very amusing on The Today Show during the cutaway to the local weather–to which all on the New York set were laughing, and those at WLEX were rolling as well.
Rick announced that today’s show would be an open mic forum. Rick offered two suggestions for callers: WCYN’s programming and the website. These subjects were never touched.
One elderly woman called in with a question in regards to the condition of the Pleasant Street Bridge (Terry referred to it as the Belmont Bridge). The caller asked who has the responsibility of maintaining the bridge–the city, county, or state? Rick had no immediate answer. Rick will find the answer to this question at a later date.
Another woman called in asking about a noise in the broadcast–an underlying hum that is audible during the Coffeebreak show and Trading Post. The caller also raised an issue where she believes that there is a dire need for a “sit-down family restaurant” similar to that of Cracker Barrel or Golden Corral. The caller believes that it is a shame that the citizens in Cynthiana must drive out of town to enjoy a decent meal.
Terry believes that the problem may be related to a problem that happened over the past weekend–an amplifier blew on the transmitter.
Another caller stated what he believed might be the cause of the stench. Out of curiosity, the caller tells us, he had drove to the new waste water treatment plant to see what a million and a half dollars was worth, and noticed the unkempt fence row in front of the building. The caller asked whether Rick knew if there were plans to clean the mess up. Rick stated that there weren’t any plans to clean the mess. Rick informed the caller that he would call back to tell him more of the story in private.
In reference to the prior call on local dining, Terry asked how long it had been since the closing of McKnight’s Boarding House. Rick plans to research that query.
The final caller on the show was a nearly 80-year old woman, who stated that her father had worked on the Pleasant Street bridge in 1936. The company that erected the structure was Clark, Stewart, and Wood. They had attempted to erect the bridge once and much to their misfortune floodwaters washed all the forms and materials away. Rick asked the caller when she was born, to which the caller replied December 27, 1927. Rick encouraged the caller to call back on that date, so that he might wish her a happy eightieth birthday.
Coffeebreak’s sponsors were:
BluegrassTradingPost.com, Bourbon Community Hospital, Jetubs, Cockrell’s Auto Center, Whalen & Company, Eastside Pharmacy, and the Harrison County Board of Education
