ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear faithful Last Dam Followers (all five of you): If you have been following the blog for awhile, you've noticed that things have slowed down a bit this year.

There are some major changes afoot here in radioland. I'm still getting accustomed to my new night schedule and have not posted as much information as I have in the past year.

For all of you who have asked about the radio show (on hiatus since March), I'm afraid that it will not be coming back any time soon. Thanks to all of you who have expressed support and concern, but it is something that is out of my control.

The future still has plenty of sports coverage here at NNB, with daily reports running on Coastwatch In The Morning on KAST-AM 1370 from 6-8:00 a.m. with updates on the noon and 5:00 p.m. newscasts. We will continue to broadcast Astoria High School sports on 1370-AM with a full schedule of boys basketball and baseball will be on the radio come spring. At this point, we are continuing to broadcast Ilwaco High School sports on KKEE-AM 1230. It looks like we may be broadcasting Astoria volleyball and soccer playoffs again, although that is in the early discussion stage and contingent upon sponsor interest.

I would also like to direct regular blog readers to www.kast1370.com, where a lot of the sports stories you are used to reading on here will be found in the future. It may be a few days before a lot of sports content gets posted as I familiarize myself with the programming process, but that will be the place to go for game write-ups, standings and schedules and updated scoreboards.

This blog will continue on, but it will act more like a blog in the future. In other words, more off the cuff and opinionated and oriented toward discussion topics. Hopefully, we will get some kind of forum going on here as well.

So, to reiterate, go to www.kast1370.com for local sports news and scores online, wake up with KAST-AM 1370 for the latest regional and local sports news and check The Last Dam Blog for occasional rants and editorials on sports related topics of local and regional interest.
