Subject: "If It's Flooding NOW, You're NOT Hearing It Now!"

There IS one thing WBZ radio could--and should--have done last Saturday
 that would have allowed them to broadcast nonstop coverage of the storm
 and flooding.

They could have called-ina nchors, reporters, news editors, etc.!

Sure, it would have cost some money in overtime, but thousands of listeners
 might have felt reassured to have been able to hear Gary LaPierre on
 Saturday evening anchoring storm coverage with numerous live reports from
 reporters out in the field, not to mention Traffic On The 3's.

A little (compared to the amount of money CBS makes) extra $$ spent to
 bring-in staff to work overtime Saturday night might have created
 incredible goodwill and P.R. for Boston's only clear-channel AM signal.

Perhaps the next time something like this happens, Uncle Mel will have
 instituted a ploicy that would allow 'BZ to call-in off-duty people
 to cover the story, even if it's not during the part of the day when
 they're "all-news"

Typo: The second paragraph should have read: "They should have called-in
 anchors, reporters...".
