    regularly scheduled MORNING newscasts? >>

just to clarify my "rant", my "caps" declaration of that which "I DID..." was 
in regards to the JFK Jr. crash. (the saturday morning when the story broke). 
 i also called our WROR news director at the time, Judi Papparelli, and 
brought her up to speed.  she then took over, calling in the details as she 
was able to obtain them, giving us, a lowly-scum-sucking-non-important music 
station, a live, presence.
  the Concorde crash occured on a weekday morning, so that kind of made your 
reference moot.
   i did, however, also report the crash of the car carrying Diana, Princess 
of Wales, on a Saturday night on a "music" station. (WBCS, Boston... The 
All-Request Saturday Night).  again, just a "jock" who checks the wire.  and 
the tv.  and, thanks to portable computers and the internet, some note-worthy 
news organizations of repute... (Reuters, AP, UPI, Acme...)
     again... not all music stations are evil.  some of us (redrum) actually 
do pay attention to (redrum) what's going on.   and some of us (redrum) are 
kind of cute.  (oops, there's that dang subliminal evil influence sneaking in 
again... just don't play this backwards on your cd burner.)
