I attended an AFTRA function a few years back and Jerry Williams was
there, we discussed a number of items and the non-compete did come up. 
IIRC Jerry said that the court ruled that 90 days was a "reasonable"
period for the non-compete and ruled that Jerry could continue on WBZ. 
It may have been a ruling that applied only to that particulare case but
I can't imagine that it wouldn't have had an impact on future rulings.  
That of course was prior to the approval of the current law.
