It does at least concern one radio personality who is
missing and perhaps dead; also, I saw a list of the
few victims who have been identified so far and
supposedly one of them is related to a radio or TV
personality (the victim being Dale Latulippe, I
believe). But I can also see that talking about it can
lead us astray from discussions about radio, etc.

I would think discussing the radio/TV coverage of the

I can sometimes pick up WHJY here on the North Shore.
At one point today they were simulcasting sister
station WHJJ's coverage of a news conference; also,
Ch. 4's news talked to WHJY's Peter Silva, who said
that all weekend WHJY is talking on-air to listeners
who are consoling the station's staffers (over the
missing "Doctor"), just as the station is consoling/
talking to concerned relatives and friends of
the victims.
