Joe Prostrollo puts in writing* for South Dakota War College: Shawn Cable really is part of the lifeblood of the apparently struggling MySiouxFalls.com. Go figure!
The Madville Times comes to one inescapable conclusion: Shawn Cable should start a blog. With all the persistent Google hits of folks wiling away time at work trying to solve the greates mystery of our South Dakota summer, SingingAboutTheRain.Blogspot.Com would easily post 10,000 hits in its first day and catch Pat Powers by Christmas. Time to cash in on that online fame, Shawn!

A few words from MySIOUXFALLS.COM on the current state of the news
By PP at the SDWC | October 1, 2007
Joe Prostrollo was nice enough to send me a note on what’s going on down at mysiouxfalls.com, and bring me up to speed regarding the rumored status of the operation. What did Joe have to say?:
I can’t say that I threw in the towel because there is more to this than I can explain in a blog. Lets just say that the investors didn’t get exactly what they had hoped for by helping me achieve this new age of newsgathering.
The problem is this………I have asked them if I found all the money needed to pay them back, $197,112. 46, would they sell their shares back to me and walk away. Their answer is “That is something we would have to talk about, Joe” My guess is they have a buyer and want my shares which I’m not apt to give up.
MYSiouxFalls.com is for sale…………….but we have to be responsible on the price. I still have hope for it. Now maybe I can find an investor(s) who have a passion for moderate/conservative news. I like to think we were never biased to any party but my god almighty, getting anything out of the Johnson people regarding press releases, was like pulling hens teeth.
There you have it Pat. MYSiouxFalls.com is still up and limping. My staff was laid off this morning but me and yes, Shawn Cable will keep it going for as long as we can.
Wow. And you read it at the SDWC.

Shawn Cable is rumored to have a one-year non-compete agreement with KELO-TV in which he cannot use his facial image or his voice in competing media. There is a strong possibility that KELOLAND TV is buying MySiouxFalls.com so they can protect their own site from fragmentation, or develop it further, sell ads and create another revenue cash cow. There is definately a LOT of shuffling going on right now.
