[BC] A question for Rich Wood

[Scott Todd]

Rich,

Figured I'd address this question to you in a public forum because it's 
something I feel others in our industry might be interested in.  Have 
you ever known a station to decline the use of their studio to a 
national talk show host when they're in town because said host was so 
difficult to deal with?  I had an incident last week where I got some 
grief because the gating on a mic processor wasn't set just right.  It 
was OK for the guy who usually sits at that position, and since my voice 
is similar to his it sounded OK to me too.  Visiting host in question, 
however, has a radically different voice and doesn't work the mic quite 
as closely thus the problem.  That's pretty minor in the grand scheme of 
things.  Said host should have been here the next day when the morning 
team of one of our sister stations had some major problems, mostly 
caused by factors outside of our station.  Those guys handled it 
beautifully.  Said host would have had a fatal stroke.
