Cooters A1 Toewing: Longevity, is the key to HazzardAyre

As I got off the air last night and now get ready to head for bed and our station goes off air allowing the engineers to do their thing, I got to thinking of how many outfits in both TV and just broadcasting have went off the air, merged, or compromised their programming. Then I got to thinking, look at us here at Confederate Steele Media, the parent of HazzardAyre Radio.

Do you realize that where we are today just in the realm of things began in earnest in 1989? Do you realize that since then I have seen TNN, turn to Spike, I have seen a bright and shinning channel (that we inspired by the way) called SpeedVision, that turned to SpeedTV get gobbled up by FoX Sports, I have seen radio hosts, radio shows go by satellite if they stayed on the air at all, and yet even those that hate us, don’t want to assign a female model talent to us, but do you realize, from Highway Hooker Radio(Radio for us who toew) to SpeedWrench Radio, that ignited SpeedVision/SpeedTV, to Dixie Diesel to AyreWolf TV and Radio, to us now at HazzardAyre Radio that we are still on the air, still delivering radio and TV content and programs, still making money, and still owned by us who started it.

If one of those other programs came calling to Utah or Idaho and posted a open talent call, there would’ve been lines around three city blocks. Yet we post an open talent call and get duds. We get no repeat phone calls, and even from Vickie at TMG wont call. Yet for all that’s honest, we are the only ones of any gearhead based TV and or radio still on air. Still broadcasting and still retaining advertising money as well as content.

Fortunately no body has came to the door wanting to buy us, (yet) but in short we aren’t for sale , I’ll repeat, WE AREN”T FOR SALE at ANY PRICE. Since the birth of this network in 1989, and its prototypes from 1976 to 1983, none of our media firm has ever been for sale.

I can remember so all to real happenings, when one small Wyoming town named CokeVille thought the word Hooker meant street walker rather than a nickname made by OTR truckers over the CB for tow truck, I was held by the CokeVille PD at gun point. I should have sued, but thought better for it. But we thought we had a good location for the stations hub. I remember this casting director film creator named Julie that resided in Montana, that traveled down to CokeVille, met with me, and even took me to dinner in Montpelier. Thing was even she said then don’t quit there’s power in the wires.

She bowed out, I have thought this casting thing would be made easier if we had a woman doing it, something I have been trying to hire for 25 years, but hey, what do you do? Any mile from ground zero we have maintained our honesty, our integrity and our passion.

So for all those that think we are not worth their time, ask yourself, how many of those networks, stations, TV shows, advertising agencies and all that you vied to become part of even on a intern level wage, are still around? I can tell you NONE OF THEM. Who have you ignored , slammed the door on and did not stick with? HazzardAyre Radio and yes Confederate Steele Media.

Confederate Steele Media started as Southern Steele Media, and began in Bountiful Utah in 2005 . Here’s the goofiest part, Even at a part retirement part rent controlled place off the beaten path in Bountiful, at least some aspiring talent showed up. Of course many strange events have occurred since then, but here’s the thing, don’t anyone think there is something solid, more over safe, with dealing and going to an audition for a media firm that has been around for 37 years?

Longevity speaks volumes, and Longevity is key to HazzardAyre.
