Who is the blame? well, no one really. Shifting weather patterns, cold air aloft over a warm lake Erie...if this were winter, we'd still be digging out from lake effect snow. But if your weather dudes blow the forecast, I don't think a sure fire way of building a news audience is to discredit them on the air! Thursday night Kevin McDowell was ribbing poor Cheryl Scott about the forecast. Dude, if you want to rib someone, rib Rob Wilson not the fill-in weather winkie! I doubt N.D. Julie brought Kevin into her office to tell him that discrediting the main tune-in component of your entire newscast could drive viewers away.

The GE Superadio and Sangean models I have are both clunkers. There's a place on W 26th near Pulakos that repairs and sells the antique type. I’d like to find a good dial radio besides the Tivoli.

I LOVE 'EM! "Don't Touch That Dial!" was, perhaps, one of the best phrases used in mainstream media from the past. Does anyone know how to start up an Analog Recycling Program?

The Anchor's have a good time teasing each other. Check out the close when the Cameraman gets a closeup on a Woman smoking a Cig...and she doesn't even realize she's on camera - classic! Enjoy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kLctPohkis (I have no idea what a snowman is doing outside in Philly in August - but it's Philly so why ask why!)
