WCCM-AM 1110 To Add Local Morning Show

[radiotony]

Actually, I am gainfully employed, back at CNC, editing the Belmont
newspaper. That's the great thing about dual formats. I have the ability to
move around to where the work is. :-) I've been meaning to touch base with
you so we could do lunch but I've been swamped.

were recently handed some new rules about emails and posting on Internet
chat boards. I'm still hashing through them but it has been suggested that I
put disclaimers on my PERSONAL email account as well as every post I make on
every posting board!! Sigh. 
Gardner was a righty. I don't know what happened but I have heard rumors
that he was never able to bring the advertisers he said he was going to
bring. I wrote a bit about what went down here:

That's odd.  Based on the times I heard him, Gardner sounded like a 
rightie, and advertisers in the more conservative markets normally 
like righties... Hey Tony, are you employed these days?  Lately, I 
haven't kept up with what's been happening in Concord-area radio....
