   Also, :), be careful what you wish for. IMO, it's a good thing they run
talk for IQs of 80 and above late at night instead of repeating the
repetitious news news news again again again again again.


I'm not convinced that the only all-news signal in a top ten market can't
pony up the resources to _gather_ enough news and public interest info as
well as <gasp> investigative reporting (remember that?) to make a go of
it.  Obviously, we're talking about a successful station, ratings and
sales-wise, so they are doing what it takes to keep the lights on and keep
Uncle Mel happy.

I just think it's neat when broadcasters make it necessary for those who
may be the subject of news to bring a spare pair of skibbies to the
office, just in case.  Is that a lot to ask?
