Ok, so you think I've gone crazy. And you're wondering what cryptic code is behind the title?
Stop thinking so hard. I have gone crazy. No real hidden meaning, just a cute play on letters and words reminding me that many of the STO people are back in the houuuse!
SPORTSTIME OHIO operates out of the WKYC Digital Broadcast Center at East 13th and Lakeside Avenue. They launched on March 12, 2006 and went to 24/7 broadcasting on April 1, 2008.
The Dolan family owns STO, and operates it as a business venture separate from the Cleveland Indians Team. Initially they aired Cleveland Indians games and were the cable television home of the Cleveland Browns. Now they offer continuous programming selections ranging from the Indians and Browns to high school sports, golf, outdoors, boxing, wrestling, CSU, and so many other varying topics.
Because they operate 24/7 year-round, there are always STO folks in house. However, when baseball season (the best season of the year) is in full swing, the activity picks up and so does the population of Channel 3. Good luck finding a parking spot!
It's great seeing Rick Manning, Al Pawlowski, or Bruce Drennan roaming around the building in between their on-air hits.
What a rush and proud moment to walk down the corridor and see both control rooms filled with employees putting on two live shows at the very same time. A great feat!
The great programming and milestones accomplished in the short time it has been in existence is a true testament to the team work and camaraderie between STO and WKYC. A great business venture which hopefully will last for many years to come!
