One year ago today.

One year ago... I was given the opportunity to be a part of a brand new morning show on ABC4.  It took me about ten seconds to make the decision to do it.  After 22 years in radio... I was looking for a change.  Looking for a new start and a new challenge.

Like a lot of you... if I'm not feeling challenged, I get bored.  When I get bored... it's a dangerous thing.  But I can honestly say I have never been bored since Good Morning Utah hit the airwaves.  Never ever.

During the Past year, GMU has evolved... tightened up... and gone through some growing pains.  Gratefully...the response has been good, for the most part.  On the positive side, (if you'll indulge me for a moment, here)...  I honestly believe we've got a good thing going from 5 to 7 every weekday morning.  We have good people putting together a good show.  The trick is keeping the momentum going.  Gotta make the shift from second... to third gear.

On the down side... we know what we're up against.  We know you're busy in the mornings with the kids... dog... husband, etc.  We know you have choices.  Radio... the internet... and gasp!... other morning tv shows.  We know we have to come to the breakfast table with something no one else can give you.  Are we up to that challenge?

I think so...

Happy first anniversary and congratulations to the staff here at GMU... and a big, sincere "thank you" to all of you who make the choice to tune us in every morning.

Until next time.

btw...

If you go see "Evan Almighty" at your local theatre... be sure to stick around for the closing credits. 

THOU SHALT DO THE DANCE!
