those who covered the memorial

[Donna Halper <dlh@donnahalper.com>]

It was interesting to note that WRKO, WTKK 96.9, and WBZ, all of which you 
would expect to do so, covered the entire memorial for the firefighters in 
Worcester, as did the major TV stations-- which you would expect.  BUT, 
WEEI stopped down to carry a portion of the memorial as well, which was a 
surprise to me.  They don't usually stop what they are doing for news 
stories.  On the other hand, as Eddie Andelman commented, it was the right 
thing to do... (WEEI only carried a part of it and continued to run their 
commercials, while WRKO and WBZ suspended everything to cover the 
ceremonies wall to wall... but as I said, there have been other local 
tragedies they did not cover, so it was interesting that they covered 
this...)  And I commend WBZ radio for actually DESCRIBING things, rather 
than just relying on the TV feed.
