I have had to listen to radio broadcasts since I am recovering from surgery and fortunately I should be able to go to the next playoff game! It seems the quality of radio broadcasting has diminished since I last had to listen. It seems in the past they always were able to broadcast the games and get in the commercials ok. Don't get me wrong I am glad they broadcast the games and am greatful and support the sponsors but man. Like the Sinton - La Feria game. They had so many commercials between touchdowns that we actually missed a Sinton touchdown after they had to kick off too. Several plays were missed because of that. Also I was listening on another radio to the West Oso - Orange Grove game and even though they seemed to do better they had lots of commercials. Orange Grove scored with about 1:12 left in the game to make it West Oso 28 Orange Grove 20 so you knew that the extra point and onside kick was critical and the announcer said "and the kick is ___________. Commercial break! Can you believe it! and another commercial and another one and another one etc. and the same one was repeated twice! You knew you were missing plays and it was frustrating. and then when the commercials finally ended they went back to regular music programing with no announcement of the final score or anything. Fortunately I caught the last part of tv news and found out West Oso had held on to win. It just seems that radio land did a better job in the past.
Is it that way in the rest of the state? Just curious if maybe it is isolated to the Coastal Bend. Anyway sorry to vent my frustrations on everyone here. I am glad that I should be able to go to the next game and not depend on the radio.
