Me too.

WGAN has dumped some of their syndicated shows in favor of war coverage.
They kept the morning show going until noon yesterday, dumping Joy Brown.
AT 5, they were running CBS continuing coverage instead of Howie Carr.
Today, dumped how-to shows off the bird in favor of local talk.  It was the
Gulf War that resulted in WGAN making the switch to a 24/7 talk station.
