Vote for Pete Chakerian for WTAM Sportsline Amateur Night


And not just because he’s the reason I had that PDQ thing in the Plain Dealer a few weeks ago. Or because he has an awesome title for his blog, Joyrides for Shut-ins. Or because he offers up great writing about being a first-time dad. Or because he’s just a plain nice guy.

Here’s why, from an e-mail I received from Pete:

Although I’m long since out of the “bracketology” for the NCAA tournament (thanks to Xavier and Davidson for being this year’s Gonzaga) I’m in the running for another competition:

I rather accidentally ended up as a finalist for the WTAM-AM 1100 “Sportsline” Amateur Night as a caller who got a shot at his own 30 minute segment last night. I had a great deal of fun doing it, but now the real fun begins. There were 5 finalists who each did a 30 minute segment last night… and we’re all competing to be the winner of the competition. The winner gets to host an entire show with Kevin Keane after a Cleveland Indians game at Progressive Field, gets a shot at some other assorted on-air work at WTAM (baseball related) and wins a prize package as well.

All that said. I am appealing for your vote. I’m not ashamed to do so; by casting a vote for me, you’re helping to scratch that sports broadcasting itch.

Please visit http://www.wtam.com/pages/keanepage1.html. There you can download my segment, and click the button to vote for “Pete.”

Again, apologies for the spam/mass mailing nature of this email, but I figured this would be the only way to get to all of you before Friday.

Please visit the Amateur Night page and vote (and vote on multiple computers if you have access to them, because I think the website picks up on IP addresses and will only let you vote once).

Lastly, pass this along to your friends and ask them to vote on my behalf, if you would be so kind.

Thanks in advance for your help, sorry for the mass mailing and have a great weekend!

Peter Chakerian

Good luck, Pete. If you win, maybe I’ll even listen to the station. :)

    I voted for him, but I will never ever listen to Kevin Keane. Ever.

    I am a WTAM listener. I came across this site after investigating what I found to be skewed amateur night voting. Do not vote for Pete. His segment was average at best.

    VOTE FOR ANDREW AND KEVIN SCHIED…

    they DESERVE to win the competion based on performance. Do not let Pete “ballot stuffer” Chokerian steal the vote!!!
