Millenium Sports Network John Frow Failure to Pay for Services Rendered Plano, Texas

I was an independent contractor for Millennium Sports for one season during which time I broadcast about a dozen games.  The whole experience was less than satisfactory.  Mr. Frow is belittling, abrasive, and many times, just plain difficult. 

I was paid for my services, but in many increments and every payment I got was a minimum three weeks late.  Although I was paid (eventually), I always had to drive to meet Mr. Frow's to pick up payments.  At one point he told me "your check is in the mail".  Two weeks later when I had not recieved it, he told me that he forgot to mail it.  Between commuting to all the games, and to pick up equipment and payments, I actually ended up LOSING money working for Mr. Frow.

I do know for a fact that others have still not recieved any payment for their service rendered.  In addition, Mr. Frow has no real rationalization for the compensation he provides.  For example, I was being paid about half what another broadcaster was getting, and I was doing far more work. 

Mr. Frow also made promises of gift cards from sponsors, and what he called a "end of the year bonus" which nobody ever received. 

You are also required to download all of the spots and several unnecessary programs for advertising to your personal computer.  This almost ruined my laptop.  You are required to run these spots in a scripted order according to Mr. Frow, and the script itself is far too complicated for a two man broadcast team.  He expects the play-by-play broadcaster to arrive two and a half hours before gametime, set up equipment, get interviews, and the run all the spots during the game while trying to do play-by-play.  Basically, one man is doing four jobs (engineer, producer, board op, play-by-play) for less than a hundred dollars per game.  Unfortunately, any suggestions about expediting the process fall on deaf ears.   

Basically the whole experience was a nightmare from beginning to end.  I suggest that you steer clear of Millennium Sports if you expect a professional working environment or fair compensation for your services. 

This is in no way meant to be libelous or defamitory, these are FACTS and nothing I've said is in any way fictitious.
