    Wow thats a great jump for him. Best of luck, I havn't been to complimentary of his writing all the time but it may be a good move. It will be nice to have someone with some love of sports in the afternoon on KFGO instead of them getting someone in who could care less about sports.

    Ouch - right after they named him their news columnist. Is there still a fued going from when Jack and Sandy bailed on WDAY for KFGO (after WDAY picked them up after being fired by the previous KFGO ownership)? Small market radio battle! Let's get it on!

    Damn right there's still a fued. Add in teh Scott Hennen / Paul Bougie defection from DAY and you've got a frickin' double elimination cage match. Relative to media terms, of course.

    Great pick up for KFGO, tough loss for the Forum. Say what you will about McFeely, but he is very skilled at what he does. The Forum will miss him. Heitkamp bolstered what was already the highest rate and most listened to news source in North Dakota. Great move by Joel.

    And you surely cannot be serious that he cannot compete with Jay Thomas. Have you seen the latest Arbitron ratings? KFGO was 26.2 miles ahead of WDAY in every time slot.

    Newspapers are so 20th century.

    It doesn't matter what section your writing for, or even what paper, when the entire industry has one foot in the grave.

    Good move for McFeely.
    I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant - B.Aud

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
