Prov.: Oldies 790; WPRO AM simulcast on 99.7

[Aaron Read]

Boy I really hope you're being sarcastic...indies are a shining example 
of all that's wrong with radio.

Besides, Spitzer's payola settlement led to a nice fat grant from the 
NYS Music Fund for us to put on a bunch of free & low-cost concerts here 
in Geneva.  So I'll give Spitzer that much, but for the moment...not 
much more.

Anyways, Eliot Spitzer HAD a radio gig; once a month he was supposed to 
appear on "Vox Pop" on WAMC...distributed to several other pubradio 
outlets (WEOS included) around upstate NY.  He'd only done it once a few 
weeks ago, and I got word today he's not going to be invited 
back...although apparently WAMC wants to keep the concept going if, 
assuming Spitzer resigns, the new governor is interested.

Elliot Spitzer's next gig hopefully will NOT be on radio.  As a 
broadcast operator, I wouldn't pay one cent to a person who, as a 
publicity hound AG used radio as a high profile industry and brought 
down the earthshakingly important independant promotion business with 
his bullying and heavyhanded tactics.  Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...
