Not over until the choir sings

Some national club bizz to get out of the way. Knytes of Anarchy National President Ben(Cooter)Jones says in his blog that he feels that while he’s grateful that CMT is rerunning the Dukes in HD, that having promos for some mid teen show mirroring Jersey Shores from sister Viacom network MTV is demeaning and demoralizing the image and purity of our southern culture and lifestyles. I fully agree. Ever since good old Gaylord Media owners of the Grand Old Oprey and such who used to own TNN{now Spike} and CMT, sold out to the MTV Viacom bunch that much of the rural kountry Television that were staples of both TNN and CMT have began to fade into oblivion. Its easier to sell to a teen watching CMT for hip hop country music a box of tampons, than selling to a young teen trucker a Peterbilt rig. Remember the days of trick my truck? This is what we at Confederate Steele Media, owners of HazzardAyre/Dixie Diesel Radio and TV, have been saying for 20 years. And yet one would be hard pressed and myself would fall over bassackwards with a thrilling coronary if I once went to the clubs mail box and saw a check from Ben or 100 fans saying here’s some seed money create the southern bred culture TV network. It could be done. Think of it this way. And I know even celebrity pay checks are lean these days, but if just the five remaining original series cast members sent us out here a check for say $5k a piece, and 100 fans sent us a check for $100.00 a piece, matched with what we already have, and not only would this accelerate the radio gig online, but would enable the creation of a IPTV(Internet Protocol ) Television network, that could be uplinked to create our own cable/satellite network for all things Dukes. We could, run not only the Dukes of Hazzard, but re-energize shows that we grew up with from Movin On, B.J. & The Bear, HeeHaw, maybe a newer version of HeeHaw, that’d kick American Idols butt, and really show what its like to have on your front porch two flags of true American history on your porch. Look the business models are bouncing all around us, Ray in Georgia is running Dixie Broadcasting, Patrick over at RFDTV is running rural programming even launched a XM/Sirius Rural network, imagine if there was a XM/Sirius channel for all things Hazzard? It can happen, but not at the rate its going, or before somebody else does it. The Knytes have been busting hump for just under 40 years to create such a network and while we have our small syndicated programming, imagine if we had a live gig in 4 , 6 hour shifts both on radio as well as TV, with the Hazzard/HeeHaw platform. Some say you can’t sell that in the north, really? We are selling it , but some of the detractors don’t dig it, because they don’t try. I have yet, to see a TV, or radio feller other than us going out to Kenworth, or Peterbilt, Cummins, Cat, Miller Industries and so on pitching ad rates. Not one. It can be sold, but you have to have the product to sell it.

While I agree with Ben on the Southern style Jersey Shores thing, and feel its wrong, there are ways to battle it. Put some money in our stash and lets do this. If CMT, Spike, and so on, hell even RFDTV saw someone was about to start byting at their heels, I’ll guarantee that all those networks would be changing their song. Look the thing ain’t over until the choir sings, trouble is if you believe in good wholesome TV and radio where nothing really filthy or such shows or is heard, then its time to pony up, help us to help and create good southern style Hazzard bred TV and radio. If you want to make a difference here, touch us on our backside, put some cash in our stash and watch HazzardAyre/DixieDiesel TV and Radio launch in a flash(Flash is Roscoe’s Dog) .

That how we Git R Done.

Quote of the Day:
If misery loves company, misery has company enough.
--Henry David Thoreau

Philippians 2:14-16“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.
