  • Attention Randy Bernard~CEO of PBR and Ty Murray~PBR President
    OPEN LETTER TO RESIDENTS of OKLAHOMA Dear Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR): Attention Randy Bernard~CEO of PBR and Ty Murray~PBR President I am writing to urge you to eliminate the presence of ALL tobacco sponsors and messages during your bull riding events. Professional bull riding has moved into ranks of world-class sports and the eyes of the public are now fixed on the PBR athletes, who serve as heroes and role models for youth across the United States. Simply put, children emulate the actions of adults they admire, copying their habits-both good and bad. I have been involved with the sport of bull riding for over 20 years as an announcer, broadcast and print journalist, radio personality, spectator and, most recently, as a spokesperson for Buck Tobacco Sponsorship’s National Tobacco-Free Rodeo Project. The Buck Tobacco program targets rodeos and bull riding events throughout the country with requests to eliminate tobacco sponsorship. (www.bucktobacco.org). I have visited with over 150,000 children across the country to talk with them about the sport of bull riding, along with the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Tobacco is not part of a healthy lifestyle and should not be part of bull riding. Numerous churches, schools and community organizations across the country are joining me in the pledge to support a tobacco-free PBR. Many of these individuals regularly attend PBR events with their children, and are disturbed by the tobacco messaging that is reaching kids at your otherwise family-friendly event. Would you encourage or allow your child to use tobacco products? Medical research chronicles the increased likelihood of heart disease and cancer as a result of the use of tobacco products.

  • 4Th Annual Brent Thurman Memorial Bull Riding
    WHO WAS BRENT THURMAN A gentleman who never knew a stranger, Brent Thurman grinned his way through life. Some have remarked that they have never known another person who liked to smile as much with their front teeth missing. Not only was Brent a world-class champion bull rider, he was a motivator of life. Thurman was born in Austin, Texas on March 3, 1969 into a family of Central Texas supporters. His Mother, Kay Thurman, said "Whatever was happening at the moment is what Brent wanted to do." Football, basketball, track and bay fishing were only a few of Thurman's athletic endeavors. His second favorite sport was golf. He won a city tournament and was determined to join the Senior PGA when he retired from bull riding. Brent's bull riding career began at the fearless age of 8 at Cecil Hill's arena in Austin. Several bull riders commended Thurman's unique style of riding. He carried his free arm lower than most riders and used his feet more than his upper body. In 1993, Thurman qualified for his first NFR. He finished fifth in the final standings that year and 13th in the 1994 Crown Royal World Standings. He was also a three-time competitor in the Texas Circuit Finals Rodeo. After Thurman's first professional career year ended in 1989, he went on to be ranked in the top 30 bull riders in the world. Brent was a founding member of the PBR in 1993 and was looking forward to the changes it would bring.

  • Issue 620 Radio’S Young Blood Infusion “Broadcast Radio Is Losing the Battle for Ears, Especially Young Ones
    September 24, 2018, Issue 620 Radio’s Young Blood Infusion “Broadcast radio is losing the battle for ears, especially young ones. Newer generations would rather curate and listen to digital playlists, and see radio as a media dinosaur.” That line of thinking is often heard these days, but doesn’t always hold water. Those who look closely are finding young people who are excited about the medium and interested in making careers in it. Take the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications, for example. The school’s immersion programs are often cited among the best in the nation, and its portfolio of broadcast properties could just as reasonably be owned by a commercial operator. Among them is the university’s 100kW Class C1 commercial Country WRUF (103.7 The Gator)/Gainesville, led since early August by Brand Mgr.
