Steve was on at the start of the show and indicated they were still having technical issues and that they would try and go "live"... I think he said they were shooting for 5:00 pm EST, but it doesn't sound like they made it.

thanks - I thought I might be a bit bonkers, but turns out all is well. Hopefully we'll hear it live soon.

Hanging in while the ATT guys here and downtown work on something. I'm none too pleased with them given we ordered service in March and are the only broadcast operation here. Then they start saying it's my Tieline box but after a few tests they admitted it was there problem at the Louisville "C.O.".

Still waiting it out...

Seems like we're OK. Finally at 8:15 I was able to sync up with KC. The ATT guy had to re-wire a circuit and by-pass a burned out something or other. Very draining as KC and I kept juggling the guests each hour as we stayed ready to jump on the air... Better today than any day next week.

Thanks to all for being patient. KC and I were actually heartened by the calls yesterday. He had more than 60 people call in wondering what was going on. Today about half that because I think people had an idea of what was going on. Always tough takin it on the road, even to a place like this where we visit annually.

You guys handled it very professionally. I enjoyed when KC came in to announce technical problems. I missed the beginning of the show yesterday so I didn't hear about the problems.

Can't be easy taking the show on the road. We should call it "Byk's Big Top" from now on - has a nice ring to it.

Looking forward to tonights show.
