Free'? ..Ha!
by Kait$chuessier • I
A 6
50 states.
' I was here. I had arrived. At this most
prestigious dinner of the year,
And what did I get for all—my trauble?
X piece of piper. •
A nice piece of gaper, of course. Good
quality stock. If I didn't know better, I'd say
sheepskin—quality, the good thick kind with
letterS'all in, black, But when the words got
important, they came out in silver:-silver
' letters that shone "1978 Ohio State Award"
"CBC and Ideas", and "Bob Harrington, the
Chaplain of Bourbon Street,"
'And my name? It didn't even make it in
black letters. It didn't appear at all.
But Why should that get. me down? I was .
here, wasn't I? Eating 'that good veal cordon"
bleu and pouring myself another glass of wine
from the carafe that sat on rny, table.
So what's in a name? What's it matter that I
didn't meet any other radio interviewers and
- 'producers from all over the country? So what
if I was seated next to the one fellow I knew in
the whole crowd? A CBC man I see often it the
CBC cafeteria and balls. At least I got to meet
his wife, didn't. I?
His -name didn't appear on his award either.
All he had to do--like the rest of us—was to
recognize hiS name when .the -ran called it
Ytiu'd think if ie fellow drove a 1,000 .miles to
Washington, Er.C. and picked up his 'Ohio'
State Award .for good radio programMing,
he'd come home happy. .
You'd think he'd forget about the $56.00 a
night hotel room. The $4.00 a night overnight
parking. Andthe White House tour,he missed
because he couldn't Linda parking space in
time before the White House closed at twelve
noon to visitors.
You'd think he'd take his flu bug in stride
and not, 'complain a whimper 'while he
drove—miserable and ugly—all thf?„„way back'
home.
' Isn't if worth it all to go, tat far—that
long—to hold in your hands at coveted
award?
Well, at least they tell me it's coveted. And
I mean by "they" the people who give out the
awards--,the Ohio .State University people who
spend hours and hours listening to ' every
program entry—all 806 pf them this year.
. And to plaice the awards all the more.
prestigious, they movedlhe big banquet
awards program away from their Columbus,
Ohio home base and into 'Wa shington, D.C:
You can't get much more prestigious than
that,'-ean you?In the Washington Press Club
rooms, no less.
The veal cordon bleu never tasted better. Of,
course„ maybe anything rnighl h'aië" tasted
better after Big Macs, french fries and cokes
for three days. I had to cut down somewhere
with the high cost of housing me aid my car.
The candlelight on white tablecloths and
real linen nantins was perfect Anno was the
elegant room curtained and draped in velvets •
and sheersand displaying every flag from the
out, walk forty feet to the head table, putout
-his hand, say thank-you, and turn ardund and
go back to 'his table. •
That was it. That .wa.s all. r
It'wan't like the:Oscar and Emmy Awards • ,
. at all. When the winner gets behind the
Microphone,and asSur0 everyone this award
wouldn't be 15(:ositi1e without a lot of other ,
people., 'And so I 'would like to take' this
opportunity to thank my producer„ my
assistanf .producer, my' eXeeutive producer,
, my Copy • asiistant, my' research editor, the
corporation, my , Wife, my ,child, my mother,
my father, everybody, without whom .this
- • award—would neverliave been possible: •
I didn't get a' chance like that at all.
I didn't get a ehance to hear a Word of 'my
award winning program-.-Or anyone else's for
'that matter. You know that's how they do it
with the 'Oscar awards. TherthrOW —on • a
screen- excerpts and clips front 'the award
. winning Movies. To give you a glitnpse of the.
brilliant production.
Oh, they did that at the Ohio State Awards. .
They did screen for a minute or two the award
winners. But nobody in his right mind expects
youl? throw a radio program on, the.screeri. •
You could' listen to a' segment of course; but
who listens? TV- is king and gets treated like,
one.
But 1 really, didn't feel th.at bad. about not
hearing any radii program segnients. I'could
barely see the yv excerpts. ,The reason was
simple. TV cameras need bright lights". And
when you have TT camera men walking all
-aro-rind arid taping this moinentous: 1978 42nd.
,Annual Presentation, you can't dim any lights
to let the audience see what their tame to see.

in time for after dinner-Coffee. I had-two extra
