Dial Global Says 20.6 Million Listened to Final Four on Radio

Dial Global: 20.6 million heard Final Four.

Proving the power of sports on radio, nearly as many people heard a broadcast of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four on broadcast radio as heard the Super Bowl. Dial Global says radio’s Final Four audience was an estimated 20.6 million, nearly as large as the 23.1 million who tuned-in to hear the New York Giants defeat of the New England Patriots.

512 affiliates carried Final Four programming between March 31 and April 2.  “We are pleased that our previous research findings still hold true, people desire play-by-play sports on radio in a big way,” Dial Global co-CEO David Landau says.  The network came up with the audience estimates by commissioning Edison Research to conduct a national telephone survey on Tuesday, the day after the University of Kentucky Wildcats’ victory over the University of Kansas Jayhawks.

Instagram is Here for Android

The wait is over for Android users.

Instagram for Android is here.

The popular social photo app that Apple IOS users have been enjoying for over a year is finally available to download on Google Play.

Instagram is a quick and easy way to share photos with the world. Think Twitter but for images. Users can shoot away and upload pictures within seconds to a feed sent to their "followers".

If users want, they can even make their snaps look more beautiful with a selection of editing functions.

An assortment of nifty digital filters can transform any dull and average photograph into a striking effect reminiscent of an album cover from the '70s. Critics cannot deny that the app is highly addictive. It's also free.

Instagram has been quite popular on Apple's Iphone, attracting 30 million IOS users since its debut on Apple's App Store in 2010.

Extreme Tornado Activity in Texas

Tractor Trailers In Dallas, Texas -  4-3-2012 -  Raw video of Tornadoes ripped through the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area Tuesday afternoon, launching tractor-trailers into the air as if they were children's toys. As a tornado spun through an industrial area in Lancaster, Texas, about 15 miles south of Dallas, it wreaked havoc on a fleet of trucks, perilously tossing them dozens of feet in the air.

Where is Next Year's Final Four?

Evidently the NCAA thinks next year's Final Four will be in the great city of Alanta.

Kind of embarrassing and I'm sure the NCAA is looking at who to blame for this.

New Atlanta Food Truck With a Big Green Egg

Finally, a food truck that is powered by the Big Green Egg.

Happy Belly is ATL's newest lime green, smiley-face-equipped food truck, and the only one on earth with a Big Green Egg.  You can't go wrong with this one.

Nothing's over $10 despite the almost all-local/ -organic produce and meats, which're roasted for 4-12hrs over hardwood charcoal in the BGE, before being turned into the short rib Georgian burger w/ Vidalia onion chutney, ancho chili dressing & cheddar.

They offer a variety of sides and can take your order by iPad.  I'm trying to figure out what I want already.
