 wsbradio.com: News Legendary WSB Radio Broadcaster Succumbs To Cancer
(WSB Radio) WSB Radio mourns the death Friday morning of Elmo Ellis, who worked for WSB Radio for 40 years and led the radio station for two decades as general manager.
"Elmo Ellis was a towering figure, not only at WSB Radio but in the radio industry," says WSB's Mike Kavanagh, who worked for Ellis during the 1970s.
The primary beacon of communication was WSB Radio, where Elmo Ellis had assembled some of Atlanta's top religious leaders to sit before WSB's microphones to urge calm and peace.

 R1-Forum.Com - Moto GP and WSB
WSB was at it's most popular when Moto GP were racing 500cc 2 strokes and we could all relate more to the big twins and 750cc GSXR's etc. When Moto GP switched to 4 stroke 1000cc bikes WSB became a bit of an irrelevance.
But even back then when WSB was at it's most popular, 500cc was also very popular, maybe just not in North America...

 The History of WSB Radio
December 1, 2005, the annual AIR (Achievement in Radio) awards banquet gave its Lifetime Achievement award to WSB Sports Legend Larry Munson and honored the life and career of the late Elmo Ellis.
Elmo Ellis looked at this "hopeless" situation and in a position paper that became MUST reading throughout the radio industry in 1952, he said it was time to "remove the rust" from radio.

 1000cc Superbikes May Save World Championship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
With a general feeling that the Grand Prix racing circuit will overshadow the World Superbike championship from the year 2002 onward (due to the rule permitting four-strokes to compete in GPs), WSB may respond by allowing 1000cc bikes of all configurations (not just v-twins, as the current rules allow) to race against one another.
Only time will tell, but the rule change should occur as early as the 2003 season.

 Points of Interest - Birds of a Feather   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
It's all for a good cause—teams solicit pledges and raise money for bird-related conservation programs—but the WSB is as removed from your average weekend of birding as high-stakes Las Vegas poker is from a casual round of Go Fish.
Indeed, the five men in the Great Swamp—who had hoped to elicit calls from a rail by clapping their hands, I later learn—hail from that bastion of bird research, the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology.
The Sapsuckers, one of several WSB teams on hand, ignore us and begin making a soft generic birdcall that sounds like the word "pish." "Pish, pish, pish," they intone for about a minute; a quick shared glance serves as assent as they rack up yellow-throated vireo, fl-throated blue warbler, purple finch.

The Castrol-backed Winston Ten Kate Honda World Superbike has its best chance of winning the championship next year, following the signing of former champ James Toseland.
That’s the opinion of team boss Ronald ten Kate, who has secured the services of the 25-year-old from Sheffield in the UK to join the Honda ranks after a four year stint with Ducati, which included winning the WSB title in 2004.
Ten Kate said: “It’ll be our third year in the series and 2006 probably represents our best opportunity to win the title and add to our four consecutive World Supersport titles.”

 Superbike news from Pirelli WSB test in Valencia - Superbike Magazine
Our mole at trackside gave us the lowdown and dirty on the day's proceedings.
Fastest of the bunch (times from Pirelli) was Lorenzo Lanzi, the new kid on the Xerox Ducati with a 1-35.7 but he was chased home by battle-scarred Troy Bayliss, making his return to WSB after three years in MotoGP.
Bayliss, who smashed his left wrist in a dirt bike training accident, hadn't been on a race track for a while (or Pirelli tyres or a Ducati twin) but he was second fastest with a 1-36.1.

 ABC's revival boosts WSB - 2005-01-03   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Perennial local ratings leader WSB-TV got a boost from the recent prime-time successes of affiliated network ABC, which had a ratings bonanza with new hits "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost."
Still, even without help from ABC's prime-time programming, WSB often gets better ratings than its parent network in certain parts of the day, and it certainly outpaces its local news rivals.
That means Atlanta's four other local news stations have needed to get more creative to grasp a share of viewers.
