@rhowell1980 @ChadinRipCity @trailblazers @travisdemers @Principal_Long My goal is to hit 3,339 games. That would break the legendary Chick Hearn’s record of consecutive broadcasts.

@richpatterson1 @ChadinRipCity @trailblazers @travisdemers @Principal_Long Hey Captain, what’s your goal you want to hit??

I feel extremely blessed that I have a job that I love & get to work with amazing professionals I can’t wait to get back to work in October for my 36th season as the producer of the @trailblazers audio network. The first preseason game will mark my 3,109 consecutive broadcast.

No Amazon Prime? No problem. You can catch all of the excitement of Blazers/Spurs Game 3 on @RipCityRadio620 & statewide on the @trailblazers Audio Network. Pregame with @ChadinRipCity starts at 6:30. @travisdemers & @mdhhoops call the action at 7:30.

Here is last night’s end of game call from @travisdemers on the @trailblazers Audio Network. #ripcity #playoffs on.soundcloud.com/cqJsWPoYu2XhgM…

@rhowell1980 @CHold @trailblazers @ChadinRipCity @travisdemers @RipCityRadio620 Tomorrow will be 3,103.

@richpatterson1 @CHold @trailblazers @ChadinRipCity @travisdemers @RipCityRadio620 What consecutive game is this for you captain?

No local TV, but there is local radio for Tuesday’s @trailblazers vs Suns play in game! @ChadinRipCity has the pregame show at 6:00. @travisdemers calls the action at 7 on @RipCityRadio620 & the Blazers Audio Network. #ripcity

@ChadinRipCity @highkin @RipCityRadio620 Everybody forgets that the Blazers had another Hall of Fame announcer on radio. The great Eddie Doucette took over for two seasons when Schonz went to TV. Eddie is the guy that dubbed me. “The Captain.” After two seasons, Eddie & Bill switched jobs.

Will Tom Dundon replace Trail Blazers radio broadcasts with a TV simulcast? @highkin joined @ChadinRipCity on @RipCityRadio620 to discuss his deep dive into the Blazers new owner. youtu.be/WivgIw3lKMU

@RasslinGrenade I did the same thing with hundred’s of VHS tapes with Portland Wrestling that were originally recorded by Playboy Buddy Rose. I got about 500 hours of Portland footage from 1977-1991.

Thousands of VHS tapes to go, but I've converted a great chunk of 1990/1991 original TV recorded masters, about 500 GBs worth. Going back and working more on 1980s tapes now.

Hard to believe that it’s been three years since Schonz passed away. What would @trailblazers have been without him?

Congratulations to @trailblazers radio play by play guy @travisdemers. Trav has been named 2025 Oregon Sportscaster Of The Year by the National Sports Media Association!!! Anyone that knows Travis,knows that he is one of the hardest working guys in all of sports broadcasting.

I just saw that today is the 80th birthday of one of the true “cool guys”, on screen & off….Mr. @hwinkler4real It was great meeting him back in December 2023

Happy Birthday to my buddy @ChadinRipCity !!! Some great tunes were on the radio that day. billboard.com/charts/hot-100/

This is one of my greatest pieces of @trailblazers memorabilia. It’s extra special as it was given to me by Bill Schonely. This is the tape Schonz used to record his pre game "Jack Ramsay Show" on June 5, 1977.

Here I am wearing my Blazers championship T-shirt in 1977. I never got rid of it In 1997, I was working for @trailblazers, by then, there was a 20 year reunion of the championship team, I was able to get all the players sign it. It truly is one of my prized possessions.

If you watched the old “Portland Wrestling”, you will love this event. What is great, is that it’s in the building where Portland Wrestling was held from 1968-1992. The building is now owned by a church, but, they are allowing this event to be held there. facebook.com/events/s/portl…

There are worse things in life than knowing that every day you go to work, you are going to have a great time with great people. Can’t wait for October to get here to be able to work with this outstanding crew again for all @trailblazers Audio Network games at @ModaCenter.

When I worked my first Blazer radio game, which was game one of the 1992 Western Conference Finals, I had no idea that almost 33 years later, I’d be working my 3000th consecutive @trailblazers radio broadcast. It’s been an amazing ride!!!
