I'm really excited about the news. Broadcasting sports is something I've always wanted to do. When I heard about the Sea Dogs coming into the QMJHL, I sent in my resume. It was just Tuesday that everything was finalized.

I've covered sports as news for more than 20 years. I've focused on the political, racial and ethical aspects. The same principles apply whether it's a steroids dealer or an arms dealer.

Yes, we are going to have a heavy sports emphasis, ... We want to have news from every level -- from the pros to Little League.

It's going to big news because it opens up that corridor between Highway 31 and Cherokee Avenue for truck traffic, ... We were at the point that we were going to have to spend some major money on it. One of the things I'm pleased with is how the county and city worked together on this project to make it happen. Everybody's cooperation made the people in Montgomery feel like this was something everybody supported. It also helps because that could be a southern corridor for us. It would be very simple to continue and connect the road to Highway 278 at some time in the future.

We have to balance entertainment and news. Considering the heavy sports schedule in February and March, this was the best solution.

Either you were the best of the best or you were nothing, and somehow that didn't seem right.
