Media Eclipse Awards
 

I saw this in reading about the media eclipse awards today:

"Honorable mention in the Audio/Multi-Media Internet category went to Sirius XM Radio, "At the Races" for its live Breeders' Cup preview coverage on November 2. Steve Byk was the producer."

Way to go Steve.

:tro: Glad to hear it.

Way to go Steve! Here, this is for you.:tro:

Good for you Steve. :tro::tro::tro:

Congrats Steve, a well deserved honor!:tro:

Honorable mention? :rolleyes: Sounds like laundry. Give the man his due.

Cheers !!! :tro::tro::tro:

:tro::)

Steve should be running the entire frickin industry but that's another story. Good to know he's being recognized. Maybe in a few years we'll hafta call him Mr. Byk. One can only hope.

Congrats, Steve.

Way to go Steve!

MTV Awards are next:-)

Thanks everyone..

It's hard to capture what ATR tries to do boiling 720 hours of broadcasting a year into one hour from one show -- which is how the submission has to be made -- so it's an honor to be mentioned.

Starting Monday, we begin anew!

That's hilarious...thought along those same lines (not laundry) when I read honarable mention. No one puts Stevie in a corner!!

I vote a special award to Steve for the Times-Union editorial page response. Accuracy in media is so refreshing. Nice.

You had no shot going against Zenyatta's 60 Minutes special. :D

You saw that Al? LOL.. Thx. The 'editorial' was thoroughly reprehensible from many angles, but singling out their inability to get even the basic, core fact correct was the easiest way to set aside their 'opinion'. The Times-Union -- among a number of local third estate embarrassments -- are pitiful.

But further to the topic, no one does a better job debunking blather and exposing frauds around the racing internetland than you. :tro:

I thought Steve's and Chuck's responses were spot on...

Quite a view, this. I'll try to check out Barbara Livingston's honorable mention photo. I'm sure it's beautiful.

Seth linked it on his site or never would have seen it. Things connected with Albany have creeped me out ever since I realized those buildings that all look the same there look just like Minas Morgul from the Lord of the Rings movie.

Congrats Steve!!!

!!

congrats from the basement.

Congrats Steve. Here's another one for you.:tro:

Long overdue. This should make for some great programming.

Paul

Congrats, very well earned.

Happy New Year as well!

This is awfully kind of everyone and as I said to Seth on "Loose on the Lead" this morning, I'm delighted to be part of the process. Eclipse voting inclusion comes by virtue of being a member of the National Turf Writers & Broadcasters Association. The Association only opened up to Broadcasters this year, so joining and being endorsed by 2 members gets you in and an Eclipse vote. I'd love to say I was honored to be added to the voting roles by a selection of peers, but that's really not the case... :o

From a daily radio listener and DerbyTrail reader and very infrequent poster to the forums is is great to see that your knowledge is recognized in the industry. I look forward to following your career and I'm confident that we all can profit from your insight of this incredible game. One final note, If I'm correct in assuming the photo on your posts now includes your wife, its obvious that you have stepped way up in class. Best of luck in the new year and beyond. Since tomorrow officially starts the Derby Trail for 2012, I will check in often for the best information on the 2012 Triple Crown.

Congratulations Steve, you certainly deserve it.

Congrats Steve!
