Is this another Gail Pudvan story?

The link you provided is a story about a girl working at one of Milwaukee's horrible TV stations.

Where's the link about the cheerleader making it to the big time?

TVDirector · « **Reply #3 on:** July 16, 2008, 07:46:41 AM »

yeah, no kidding.
fox6? big time?

glad she's gotten her shot in a fairly large tv market, but it's a bit premature to say she's hit the big time.
good luck to her... a nice bit of exposure for the tv grads at mu.

Milwaukee is the 34th largest television market in the country out of 210 markets tracked.

Give her a break, that's a large market.....Toledo, Wichita, and Mobile.....those are mid-range TV markets

Considering the sensitivity levels when some fans question our new coach's "winning" system of play, it's more then interesting to see such an easy teardown of a fellow alumnus.

All in good fun.

If you actually read the article, you'll see she had a couple of professional challenges early in her career and has worked her way to Fox 6.

Whether Milwaukee is the 34th or 10th TV market shouldn't matter, she's worked hard for her success and appears to be happy personally and professionally.

She a successful MU alum in the public eye, and that's good for all of us.

Congrats to Jen.

Can anyone find any pictures of her as an MU cheerleader?

ChicosBailBonds · « **Reply #9 on:** July 16, 2008, 12:55:06 PM »

Milwaukee is a top 40 Media DMA market, and thus considered big time by media buyers, etc. It's certainly not top 20, but a nice accomplishment by this woman and MU graduate.

Log into MU Connect and search for Jennifer Lata (Reti). She has a head shot of herself there - with a GE on her cheek - so presumably from her cheerleading days.

She used to date clausen back in college and ended up marrying a guy that played soccer at MU. Really nice person...people should be congratulating her not comparing TV markets...

Speakin of media do any of you guys know if dish network offers the full court hoops or sports packs like Directv. Actually i did not order full court hops last year as i was able to wacth all the Mu games on masn and sny etc or the sports pack also they are in hd while full court is not. but again the question can i get all that stuff. My phone company is offering a bundled deal where I can get my internet and phone which i already do and add in dish for a 6 month promo of 420 a month and then after that it will only cost me about 440 for in essence the same thing I am paying directv $90 for.
any direct to dish converts out there that could advise?

I knew Jen a little back in college, I was better friends with another one of her roomies who was also a cheerleader.

Great person, congrats Jen!

not sure why this is news.

lots of Marquette grads end up working for Television and radio stations all over the country every year.

jt92 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 16, 2008, 02:29:59 PM »

Why is she doing sports? Who cares...she was a cheerleader. Go put this on the women's board maybe some people will be interested in it.

very true... and often times they get mentioned here for their work (Steve Rushin, Tom Snyder come to mind).

I'm not saying this is a huge story... but when a former cheerleader becomes a sports anchor and has some success, I think it's at the very least interesting.

Probably because she was a broadcast major in college and a cheerleader on the side. Apparently you think that cheerleaders are majoring in cheerleading.

I tried to look up the 2002 MU yearbook. Anyone know why the Hilltop yearbooks stop at 1996? Doesn't MU have yearbooks anymore?

No they do not. From the MU Archives pages:

Quote

Marquette University published a student yearbook continuously from 1915 through 1999. The College of Journalism provided administrative oversight of the publication, and from 1917 the nascent Marquette University Press served as the Hilltop’s printer...
...The Hilltop appeared in print format for the final time in 1996, as a three-part, soft-cover edition. From 1997 to 1999, the Hilltop switched to a CD-ROM format at a much reduced cost of $15. National media outlets featured it as the only college or university yearbook to be published this way. However, rising production costs and waning student interest led to the end of the Hilltop in 1999.

They can't afford a student yearbook, but they can afford to have Crean's father-in-law on the payroll?

Chili · « **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2008, 07:00:23 PM »

who would actually want a college a yearbook? i always figured them to be a high school thing.
