I love listening to the Double X if Ken Hall and Pete Grisby do the game, they seem to have fun and everyone knows they know basketball and they do not put players down on the air when they make mistakes. They talk sometimes about what they would do but never put caoches down for their choices. Most of all the enjoy the game of basketball and it comes out during their broadcast.
On the other hand I hate listening to WMDJ they could be the worst they do not know what is going on, on the court and vioce their oppion on what they think. (like when one kid reacts to something and they say that kid needs to be more undercontrol and his acts where uncalled for not seeing when the kid gets up from a pile with teeth marks on him from another player nothing is mention about the other player cause they did not see it.) Nether have alot of basketball knowledge. They thing I hate must is they make fun of players and coaches say how bad they players are or a shot was. For a station to allow this to go on when they are supposed to be supporting program and area kids is a shame.
KEN Hall and PETE you guys keep it up a lot can learn from you.

WKCB.(107.1) Not to mentin they have a link on their website that allows you to listen to the game live on the internet! I love listening to Harold Mullins, Drum Thornsberry, and "The Good Doctor"! They are one of the best high school sports commentators around here!

I gotta say I like listening to Andrew Joyce on WDHR. He calls a very unpartial game. He's one of the few in the area that knows what the announcers role should be. He and his crew are very professional and in most cases give a clear discription of the events of the game, score and who leads and time on the clock. Most announcers around here may give the score at the end of each quarter and even then may not give who's winning.

Sorry Pole Cat, I can't hardly stand to listen to the XX. Pete may have once known the game and knew it very well, but not any more.

For Jackson City Games 97.3 WJSN:
"When you can't find parking on the hill,
turn your dial to John and Bill"
These guys do a great job of putting you right in the stands :watch:

it don't matter, as long as i hear the game stats its all good
01-09-2006, 09:15 PM
i dont care who announces but i like it when they show enthusiasm for the game and dont mumble when they talk.(here in the fourth quarter 10 secs left and oops he lost the ball did all that for nothing maybe they should go home and cry rick yes they should) this is supposed to rad in a mumble with no enthusiasm.

If you think that the Double X announcers are the shizzle, then you must not understand the game of basketball, except for on an infantile level. These so called "professionals" of Double X are most of the time lost within the game and can't even get the players names right.. not to mention that on numerous occasions neither of the two even know who is in the ballgame. Apparently they don't check the books with the official scorekeeper before the game starts; if they did, they wouldn't have such a problem trying to match up the player with the number. Most of the time they don't even have all of the players listed on their roster, which causes them to have to ask another media source who the player is.. Now if you call this professionalism and greatest in the media source, then you are terribly mistaken!!:lmao: .
As for WMDJ stating the facts, that's exactly what they do. They call exactly what they see on the floor and try to give the fans listening at home a sense that they are there at the game letting them know everything that goes on. And trust me, I think they know their basketball. Yes better than Ken and Pete. Nothing against the two, they just aren't up to par when it comes to annoucing the games.
Everyone has their own opinion, and I am cerainly not saying that no one can hold a light to WMDJ, but it would sure be hard to. I do know that there are many other stations that are HEADS above the Double X including WMDJ!!

alot of people overlook them because of their puney transmitter power, but the best prepared and best overall experience i would have to give to Jammin Jamey and Tommy "Diesel" Dingus on WMDJ.

Too bad Marc Hall isn't back in the area, because he was the best I had ever heard when his brother Stacey was coaching at Mercer Co. Calling for WHBN in Harroodsburg. Sure do wish someone in the mountains could use a good sportscaster, sports director, because this guy knows how to handle a mike and call a game, whether it be football, basketball or baseball.

I agree, the WMDJ 100.1 is by far the best I have heard. They are un-biased, even if the Rebels are playing. They have an excitement about them .

Q95 has good announcers also. I dont know where the WMDJ announcers went to school, why does that matter? Creeker or not, (What is a creeker anyway?) they are the best. Oh yes, I guess I am a creeker?

Maybe those guys with MDJ are "Creeker Creatures"... Sounds scary to me. Especially the older guy that calls the games...:headphone
Maybe by Creekers the poster means that the announcers are not for Prestonsburg. How untrue. Yet, next time you are at the Fieldhouse in Prestonsburg, look up at the press booth at the lovely new sign Q-95 has which reads, "Cat Scratch Fever." Sounds a little one sided to me if I were a Rebel, Bobcat or Raider coming into town. :no:
01-17-2006, 01:05 PM
All I know is not many announcers give the score, quarter, the time left, and what team is leading offten enough. Q95 is all right but they like to all talk at the same time and get caught up in watching the game instead of broadcasting the game. To keep a listner informed of whats going on you paint the picture for the listener. Some of the stations are like a monkey painted the picture, all over the place. I guess that's why I like to listen to wdhr most of the time, they keep you up to date on the important things and try to stay a little unbiased toward their favorite team.
