Im going to be putting up polls in the hbdnews.blogspot.com blog to help me decide on content. I will run it the entire month of November and the rest of this month. This will help me determine what to put on the Air. None of my polls have more than a handful of answerers. I've got to have more than that to do this the right way. Help a guy out who is trying very hard to enhance your game and make an entertaining show. If you listen then please do the polls on the blog. Thank you.

10/26 - I am happy to announce that the great Power Rankings everyone knows and loves have returned to HBD news. I'll post which leagues Im running before the show. No guarantees on how often I'll have them, but we have a bunch coming.

Show is on today 5-7pm Pacific. My site is up and running thanks to Ourbanos on Blogtalkradio. If you like what you see on my site, hit Ourbanos up on BTR. Tell him knucklebones sent you. knucklebonesradio.com 

Also thanks to the bunch of guys who answered my poll. I will keep it up for a month so I get good data. People can only vote once. I appreciate the votes on the polls. Poll still remains at hbdnews.blogspot.com

10/26 - We will have OCD, CAPB, & Rickey Power Rankings on todays show. Also another secret letter revealed. The higly sought after knucklehead award given out during the power rankings. (This goes to the biggest failure of course)

10/27 - Im certain you'd be in the running leslie. Anyways last night show included half the Rickey power rankings and then conversation with soxyanks12 & babyd74. Good to have a couple guys on the Air talking HBD and I will always take the call over what I've got going. Plenty of power rankings and material for todays show at 5pm Pacific.
10/27/2010 3:58 PM
10/27 Finished Rickey power rankings, CAPB power rankings, & all but the top 6 in OCD power rankings. Also a special guest appearance by my mom! lol. Will finish OCD tomorrow and continue HBD-Wide news.

10/28 - Mattingly power rankings, The top 6 of OCD league, HBD news from the RSS feeds (thanks tomjames, fw_kekionga) - HBD news back in full swing and on fire. Dont miss the upcoming episodes and be sure to cast your vote in the polls.

10/28 - My first glance at the Polls tell me we're going back to the TWIHBD Theme. That is unfortunate but what the listeners want. I'll do a podcast for you every three months or so as I have no idea what leagues the votes are from. To go through all 200 ish leagues 2 a day 6 days a week = 200/12 - roughly 3 months to get through them all one time. Once a season you will get a show. I will run the shows according to the power rankings I get from tomjames OR alphabetical order. This will depend on how often he does them.

So after I get through all the leagues I will count up the podcast listens for your league and see who listens or who doesn't. I wil pick the top 24 leagues and run them exclusively. If they ever fall below my listen floor (16 listens - approx half your league. My calling in counts as a listen. Anyone who listens from outside counts also), then I will take the league who was in 25th place to replace you and so on.

The polls aren't  closed yet and will be open another month  to see how the other polls do. Right now they are pretty much tied. As of now the time will remain 5-7 pm Pacific M-Sat. (8-10 pm Eastern) We will also do some current and some historic. I can say that I won't bother with historic unless that is what is chosen by the listeners (Vote is 17-15 in favor of historic as of now)

I will continue to run current news no matter what until I get through the leagues. I guess today will be Mattingly and OCD.

If you're unhappy with any or all of what I have chosen, get your people to vote in the polls. They actually run until the end of november.

My current news format includes leaders in the playoff race/standings & top 3 league leaders for offense/pitching. This is the most I can fit in hour episodes. I do players not teams in the leaders.

Any suggestions are welcome here in the thread. If you like the Radio make sure to favorite this thread and share on fbook if you do it. (hbdnews.blogspot.com blog)

*** The following leagues have already been run and will not be done again for 3 months: 1530 Homer (they already do their own podcasts),7mantle7, 7mickeymantle7, 7mickey7, 7yankees7, CAPB, Rickey, Cobb, Cobbfather, Doubleday, Shoeless Joe, NABCL, (OCD & Mattingly - done today) - (Unless the polls change - overwhelmingly in favor of TWIHBD theme)
10/28/2010 4:18 PM
Anyways I knew I would run into a few problems. 30 teams for millions of people is one thing, like real baseball. 200 leagues with 32 guys each wanting their own league/teams news is another thing.

I want people to get their league on Air if they really want it. The only way I will do this is if people get 8 guys to post here with a league they want on every week/every other week and I will give them a day and continue running every league. Up to you guys Post here with the league you want ran. If I get 8, you get a day. Fair? Otherwise I do what Im doing until I see the numbers..

Polls are open until the end of november in the http://hbdnews.blogspot.com blog .

You're welcome Mr X. I appreciate it.

10/29 - As is in the title - Final power rankings for Fingers and also Mordecai along with some historical stats for both. Thanks to tomjames! Remember that my show page is on blogtalkradio.com/knucklebones and you can listen to previous podcasts 24/7/365.

Last secret letters given out today. You have just over a week to unscramble them and find the secret player name. Contest held 5-7pm Pacific Sunday November 7, 2010. A free HBD season given away by me! Come get knucklebones money! I will probably give out all the letters at once again today to make sure no mistakes. Probably during the 2nd half of the show along with the hints I've given and maybe one more.

Make sure to answer the polls on the hbdnews.blogspot.com - this is to help me determine the content of the show, what time to run it, & wether the news is site wide or per league (aka TWIHBD theme)
