Scott Shannon --- oops!

(via AOL RADIO)

I just heard Scott Shannon on 1550 KFRC mention the Bay Bridge closing causing "all kinds of problems in San Francisco"

Problem is the bridge opened earlier today (Tuesday)

Voicetracking at its finest.  <roll eyes>

On the subject of "oops...voice-tracking," couple days ago, heard a jock on 103.7 refer to Antioch as, "Anti-auch," hard 'ch' sound, as in 'chair."

Obviously, the dude ain't from around here.

He's also kind of a dumb-a**.  Antioch is an ancient Greek city, and there's also Antioch, Indiana and Antioch, Ohio - home of the well known Antioch University - which has satellite campuses in Seattle, Los Angeles, and a couple of other cities.

You don't have to be from around here to know it's pronounced "ant-e-ock."

I'm not from Tennessee but even I know how Antioch is pronounced.  I'm not from Central Massachusetts and even I know Worcester is pronounced, "wuss-ta" and Leominster is pronounced "Lemon-stir" and not like Leo the Lion.  I actually heard a live jock pronounce Worcester as Worchester.

There's Milan, Italy and then there's Milan (as in My-lun), Indiana.  There's Amherst, New York and then there's Amherst (silent "h"), Massachusetts.

I've noticed that you can tell when announcers or jocks are from out-of-town when they pronounce the names of our cities correctly.


For example, they say "ConCORD" instead of "Kahnkerd" like most locals....or "San Ho-ZAY" instead of the typical local pronunication - "Sanazay."

I've lived in the Bay Area all my life, although not in S.J., but most broadcasting outlets I've listened to pronounce 'San Hozay' correctly(well, sort of...it would really be 'Sahn Hoh-seh'). The 'Sannazay' pronunciation occasionally crops up with sports guys talking about the Sharks(when they bother to name the city they play in), but for the most part, that variant pronunciation died with Herb Caen.

Years ago, I was working in news in SE Idaho. There was a fire that broke out on the "Annis Butte," but the new news guy, from out of town called it the "Annus Butt!" I rolled on the floor and died of laughter!

Mispronouncing "Antioch" isn't just a "blunder;" it's downright boneheaded!  It's pronounced "Anti-ock" everywhere!

Although I'm reminded of an event at my former station here in Nashville.  We had a prima donna/diva coworker there who lived in an apartment in Antioch (southeast side of Nashville) while she was working with us.  One day, everyone got so frustrated with her, that they went outside, and, sort of facing southeast, in the general direction of Antioch from the station, they screamed out, "ANTI-CROTCH!!!  I was working overnights while I was there, so I didn't witness this event, but I obviously knew the coworker in question, so I certainly understood the frustration with her!

Blues guitarist Freddie King composed a tune named "San Ho Zay."  That's how he spells it.

Meanwhile, about Antioch, I'd love to hear someone say the "ch" using the back of their throat, Hebrew style.
