Default Media Eclipse Awards
I saw this in reading about the media eclipse awards today:

"Honorable mention in the Audio/Multi-Media Internet category went to Sirius XM Radio, "At the Races" for its live Breeders' Cup preview coverage on November 2. Steve Byk was the producer."

Way to go Steve.

Paul

Honorable mention? Sounds like laundry. Give the man his due.

Steve should be running the entire frickin industry but that's another story. Good to know he's being recognized. Maybe in a few years we'll hafta call him Mr. Byk. One can only hope.

Thanks everyone..

It's hard to capture what ATR tries to do boiling 720 hours of broadcasting a year into one hour from one show -- which is how the submission has to be made -- so it's an honor to be mentioned.

Starting Monday, we begin anew!

I vote a special award to Steve for the Times-Union editorial page response. Accuracy in media is so refreshing. Nice.

You had no shot going against Zenyatta's 60 Minutes special.

You saw that Al? LOL.. Thx. The 'editorial' was thoroughly reprehensible from many angles, but singling out their inability to get even the basic, core fact correct was the easiest way to set aside their 'opinion'. The Times-Union -- among a number of local third estate embarrassments -- are pitiful.

But further to the topic, no one does a better job debunking blather and exposing frauds around the racing internetland than you.

Quite a view, this. I'll try to check out Barbara Livingston's honorable mention photo. I'm sure it's beautiful.

Seth linked it on his site or never would have seen it. Things connected with Albany have creeped me out ever since I realized those buildings that all look the same there look just like Minas Morgul from the Lord of the Rings movie.
