On Sunday, April 15, 2007, WNST introduced a new show aimed at bringing its typical mantra of locally-flavored, “Baltimore Sports Talk” to those who love the product, even on a morning of rest and relaxation.
I recall Nestor’s view as being that of a show people will enjoy “while having coffee and a bagel,” on Sunday morning.
This show hit the airwaves with little fanfare and nothing beyond the energy of a true love of Baltimore sports fueling it. After all, the host was a guy who’d never sat in a radio studio, prior to the “So You Wanna Be A Sports Talk Show Host” contest.
And, the only other original show staffer answered the phone, while indebted to the belief tattoos and yoga were more meaningful than the Orioles and Ravens.
We were a product nobody should’ve bet on OR believed in ….. beyond a few months. That’s when the initial “feel good” phase and really cool opportunities lose their appeal, right?
Fast forward to this past weekend. I stayed home and enjoyed a relaxing Sunday morning. Well, I didn’t really enjoy it, as much as most Sundays ….. but, it really beats working !!!!
For the first time in 124 weeks – that’s right, the FIRST TIME in 124 straight Sundays, there was no LIVE Sunday programming, at WNST. It’s no big deal. We just took a week off, while getting charged-up for the start of football season.
Okay, okay ….. and the WNST studios underwent a weekend of upgrades and changes. The place looks great – THANK YOU.
So, the SUNDAY MORNING BLITZ goes on hiatus for a week. And, it came at the perfect time – our producer, Josh Hall, stayed home and fantasized about Lou Ferigno, I attended a bikini contest and Jason Jubb went to Kings Dominion.
Mind you, this wasn’t our first week off …..
Jason joined the team, in the spring of 2008. And, Josh came aboard, back in March. But, we’ve all taken time away for a bevy of reasons – NASCAR races, births of babies, Caribbean getaways, Ocean City trips ….. you name it.
But the show GOES ON. And, it always has …….
Over these 124 weeks, I can count a total of 9 different people who have hosted the Sunday Morning Blitz, in one capacity or another. I’m very thankful for their contributions; which availed our team the opportunity to enjoy life’s pleasures, away from the microphone.
The Sunday Morning Blitz has been successful, because of a few distinct things …..
• We have a fabulous nucleus of personalities who contribute merely out of really digging sports and a devotion to expressing themselves, creatively. Jason and Josh care about the show’s product and I really appreciate them.
• Our listeners and callers are loyal. I don’t take Sunday mornings for granted. If you listen or call on a Sunday, I just wanna say THANKS. I truly cherish your efforts.
• Our team is afforded tremendous support from WNST management. Without this support, we would not be able to hit the air. Thanks.
In just three weeks, a NEW Sunday Morning Blitz is coming to WNST.
With the kickoff of the NFL’s Regular Season, we’re rolling out a fresher product, with plenty of up the minute information and analysis.
Please stay tuned to WNST for updates. In the meantime, I wanna close this blog by promising to make every effort to ensure the Sunday Morning Blitz carries on, beyond another 124 straight weeks. I have never, ever considered myself more important than the show. The show is bigger than us, and it always will be.
Lets finish by taking a look back at the biggest happenings in Baltimore, as well as the world, since the Sunday Morning Blitz first hit the air, a mere 28 months ago. Enjoy and THANKS FOR LISTENING …..
