Sponge Homer

Homer H. Hillis, Jr. sponges all kinds of information, business, political and trends. I've been seen on the Sally Jesse Rafeal show with noted trend spotter Faith Popcorn. My Blog will give you an over view of what I'm seeing and reflections on the same.

Bruce and I make a day trip to Lubbock here here our first C1-100,000Watt station. We began picking the signal up in Sweetwater and then by Post it was stopping the scan (in radio world that's STRONG). And in Lubbock it was very strong all over town. Nextmedia who owns 3 other stations leases it from us and is playing, RAP on it. Its not my choice but they call the shots. In fact the station's city of license is Tulia Texas (anything ring a bell with Tulia). They locked up over 30 people on false charges for drugs they happened all to be African Americans and Gov Perry just pardoned them and released them. A lady from the Tulia Chamber called Bruce in protest of the music being played on KBTE, said it was tarnishing the cities image. Now lets think on this one? Tulia just jailed a buch of people on false changes and is now the focus of investigations all over the USA and this is hurting their image? Image is something that I think as been tarnished by a lot more than music.
