  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers
    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

    SPORTS | FOOTBALL $16.95 GRUVER An insightful, bone-chilling replay of pro football’s greatest game. “ ” The Ice Bowl —Gordon Forbes, pro football editor, USA Today It was so cold... THE DAY OF THE ICE BOWL GAME WAS SO COLD, the referees’ whistles wouldn’t work; so cold, the reporters’ coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn’t dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was Most Unforgettable Game About Football’s The Cold Truth about skill and strategy. ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The “Ice Bowl” challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here’s the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there—on the field and off—told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. The Ice Bowl also details the history of two legendary coaches, Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, and the philosophies that made them the fiercest of football rivals. Here, too, are the players’ stories of endurance, drive, and strategy. Gruver puts the reader on the field in a game that ended with a play that surprised even those who executed it. Includes diagrams, photos, game and season statistics, and complete Ice Bowl play-by-play Cheers for The Ice Bowl A hundred myths and misconceptions about the Ice Bowl have been answered.

Specifically, MSW was tasked with studying the potential impacts to Public Radio Station Transmitter Facilities that may result from the TV Band Repack and associated DTV Station channel changes and facility modifications. Digital Television stations will be repacked to channels 2-36 after the completion of the FCC’s Incentive Auction. These channel changes are likely to impact some Public Radio stations that a share tower or are near-co-located with a television station. There are several possible impacts ranging from down-time during rigging and derigging operations to loss of tower space and possible relocation due to tower structural limits. The specific impact is highly dependent upon the specific tower situation as well as the new channel assigned to the co-located TV Station(s). A. Potentially Impacted Radio Stations MSW has conducted a study to determine the number of CPB Eligible Radio Stations that are co-located on the same tower as one or more TV Stations.

  • Milwaukee Mayor Throws Hat in Ring with Upcoming Recall Election of Governor by DANIEL BICE, LARRY SANDLER and PATRICK MARLEY MILWAUKEE, Wis
    Saturday, March 31, 2012 Milwaukee mayor throws hat in ring with upcoming recall election of governor By DANIEL BICE, LARRY SANDLER and PATRICK MARLEY MILWAUKEE, Wis. — It took a little while, but Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has finally decided whether to run in the upcoming recall election. He’s in. In a Friday afternoon e-mail to supporters, Barrett, who has twice run unsuccessfully for governor, announced that he will be making a third bid for the state’s highest office as part of the recall election of Gov. Scott Walker. “We need to bring our state back,” Barrett wrote in the note. “Wisconsin needs a governor who is focused on jobs, not ideology; a leader committed to bringing our state together and healing political wounds, not pitting people against each other and catering to the special interests. “This is the governor I will be for the people of Wisconsin.” Barrett’s candidacy will have an immediate impact. “His candidacy is a game-changer,” said Jim Palmer, head of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, which has yet to endorse a candidate. “The candidates who have been in the race so far have not drawn a lot of excitement.” The mayor’s decision to run sets up a possible rematch of the 2010 gubernatorial election. In that race, Walker, a Wauwatosa Republican, defeated the Democratic mayor by 52 percent-47 percent. Barrett’s much-anticipated announcement came just hours after state elections officials officially ordered the recall contest, making Walker the third governor in the nation to face a recall and Rebecca Kleefisch the first lieutenant governor to face one.
