Scott announced on Twitter today that his last day in radio will be next Friday. Hopefully his replacement covers the cAjuns like he has in recent years. Good luck to Scott in his new career.

Finally the last straw. Since all the real talent has left that station has gone to crap.Quote:

Guess I'll be listening to my Allman Brothers/Earth, Wind, and Fire/Chris Stapleton/Commodores/Van Halen/Blackberry Smoke mix from my phone all day, all week.

I wonder if he was searching jobs during the chicken interview,certainly a lot of “pauses” and i thought i heard a few yawns
Times have changed. My whole day was situated around listening to 1420am from 6am to 5pm. Since Kevin, Jay and Stevie P. (and Billy) were let go, it's never really been the same. I did my best to turn in to Scott, but even that was different.
Wish Scott the best of luck. 1420 is now officially dead to me. ......unless a Cajun game is on. I assume that will die away soon also.
I believe that he has a job locally. I seem to recall that this was announced a while back in the RP.
Maybe all the businesses that pay for the hosts to read ads could shift those funds to NIL for athletes. Have the athlete read the same copy and play it on the athletic dept’s website (or even the school’s academic website as well) every time you click on the schedule or an article, etc.its only 10 to 15 seconds? right?
what did the acronym s.c.o.t.t. stand for?
Those were definitely good times. Just seems like overall local interest in Louisiana athletics was stronger than too. It’s bittersweet for sure. Wishing my old friend the very best.Quote:

My HS football PbP broadcast partner had been there a while and I didn't know the station was making a decision, but I called into Scott's unnamed show and suggested he call it the "Great Scott Show"
I told him on the air, Scott should stand for Sports Callers Open Think Tank. Anyway, he went with it, the rest is history.
For some reason he and never interviewed me. Miffed, my BC partner quit the station.
I have the call on a hard drive somewhere but I have about 40 unlabeled hard drives.
The guy on the left was the play-by-play guy for Tuerlings, I was his color guy.
This picture was from 18 years ago today.
I'm forgetting his name, I feel bad about it.
You have always been an idea guy, Turbine.Quote:

Oh, man. I'm with you. What an incredible disappointment. Scott was the last thing keeping me tuning into 1420. I usually listened to the first 30 minutes of his show in the morning and on days where he was talking Cajuns or had on good guests, I'd listen to the rest of the show later on Spotify. That was a great touch.Quote:

Ragin Review, Roarman, We're Talkin - the pressure is on :) We need you guys more than ever.
The only one left is Bandit on Sunday morning.
I suspect that any future arrangements for broadcasting Cajuns games will be streaming only. The days of terrestrial radio are numbered.
For the most part I enjoyed Scott's show, especially when Jay, Gerald or certain other guests were on. Now that he is leaving the only time I will probably listen is Billy and Bandit's show. I don't particular care for national programming. Much rather listen to local guys and hear information about Cajuns and local high school sports.
Best of luck to Scott.
This is the way to go. But how the heck does this get marketed to casual fans? Seems UL is allergic to local advertising. And now USL is in a chicken and egg situation…having to spend money to make money.Quote:

Kevin Foote gives lots of coverage to the Cajuns on his 103.7 FM show from 9 to 11. He had Cody Junot on during football season. Mike Murphy and more recently Coach Marlin have been on with him to discuss basketball on either Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Last year he had Craig Melancon to discuss Cajuns baseball during the spring. He also has Gerald Broussard on quite frequently and while the topic is football in general, lots of Cajun football take generally during those sessions. He also analyzes cajun games soon after they have been played. I don't know when the next contract for cajun radio coverage will come up. I do wonder if the 103.7 FM guys will make a play at it. They now have lots of stations under their umbrella.Quote:

That explains why my idea went over so well ... that is, besides his name being Scott and all.Quote:

The link says the G-Man Think Tank was after Katrina.
Did he say what his next move is? Out of radio completely?
