Wednesday's Media Miscellany

-- WLNE-TV's plan to launch a 4 pm newscast is a sign that the new owners of Channel 6 are serious about competing with frontrunners WJAR-TV (10) and WPRI-TV (12). (For my look in early 2005 at how the previous administration at WLNE was trying to make improvements, click here.)

-- WRNI, Rhode Island's public radio station, continues to add improvements. The station (1290 AM) recently launched its Cultural Roundtable, the first incarnation of which featured AS220's Bert Crenca and the RISD Museum's Judith Tannenbaum. The station is also in the process of filling two grant-funded reporting positions. For a chat I had earlier this year with WRNI GM Joe O'Connor, click on his name.

Progressive superstars (LOL) Paiva-Weed and Fox were just on Lively Experiment. In a pathetic half hour tap dance they did NOT discuss the following:
1. Reducing pay
2. or benefits
3. or pensions
4. or co-pays
5. or JCLS
6. Or Judiciary
7. Illegals
8. Babysitting
9. "Child-only" welfare
10. 60 month time limits
11. "Waivers"
12. Repealing unfunded mandates
13. Staffing levels
14 Anything else that might make sense.

Anyone else looking forward to this session?
4 days and counting.
Stock up on the popcorn.
