Andy, I have enjoyed seeing you and Jason together. Your personality seems to draw Jason out and make him more dynamic.

As for the saratoga shows, allow me. The Siro's show is broadcast by Cap OTB, but Cap OTB has nothing to do with it's production. They send us the feed and we air it.

As for the live shows, yes we had microphone issues all summer. Capital bought some new mics and honestly, they were terrible. They were far too sensitive for outdoor use, though they were supposedly "outdoor mics." The shows are produced just inside the GridleySt./Nelson Ave gates and traffic there is heavy. Every car or truck sound went out on the air. The wind was worse. All on air people were told to actually tuck the mic inside of their clothes, but the on air folks from the AM Saratoga show didn't seem to want to do so. If you still have some of the shows on TIVO go back and look. If you can see a mic, the audio will be horrible. If you see no mic (meaning it was under the wearer's clothing) the sound will be better.
The audio issues were much discussed and documented in a post Saratoga report and I can only hope that better mics will be available next summer.
