So long Hannity? I could take him or leave him. But Corbett?!? Better, dead air. What is Rising thinking?
Corbett lived in California, terrific. So what? He had Mexican friends. Wow. He knew Michael Jackson, I wouldn't brag about that. He's been on with Sue Henry ruining the second half of her show everyday and if you've listened you know he sounds exactly like anyone from a Minooka pool hall circa 1970 save for the quasi new-age lefty Demo Barbra Streisand crap he espouses...which I could tolerate if it weren't coupled with Corbett's inability to let callers finish their own sentences!
Corbett on afternoons is good for every other station in the market's afternoon drive show.
NEPA Media -- Either you are slipping, or people with the name Richard Connor are a dime a dozen around here... property transfer to Richard Connor and spouse for $1.2 million. Check it out.
Not leaving TOWN, you say? It's in Lehman Township. Not exactly Wilkes-Barre central. It will be a lovely vacation property for the Connor clan, after he sells the paper.
Anybody notice over the weekend they gave Employee of the Month Awards for March, April and May in the TL. It was funny because if you read between the lines, all the little write ups basically said "We salute these people because they put in extra hours that we don't have to pay or compensate them for." Working on a big story or not, I think you'd have to be an absolute idiot to work anything beyond your 37.5 hrs and not get overtime for it, let alone straight time. But it would seem from the tone of the wording that that's what these people do. Does anybody know the breakdown of both papers' OT policies and if one paper compensates more fairly than the other (CV or TL) when it comes to its employees working beyond a full-time week? I get the feeling lots of people at both papers put in way more than full-time hours and don't get a single extra cent for it, not even straight-time pay. Certainly not OT.

Chris Kelly? Jagov humor at its worst.
Is there no one at the T-T to tell this sad schmuck that he's not funny?
Corbett was a lot more likeable when he used to slurp down beer and buffalo wings at Sennunas's.
How does one slurp buffalo wings? Poor writing; you must live in NEPA.
Nah...Jerry Kellar "slurped" a buffalo wing or two in his time

Oh God, that means he's not leaving town, doesn't it?

what's with Kelly and that asshat mustache?
I can't believe you people. No updates on the books at the Hoyt??? It's almost four months!!! Are they all back on the shleves???
Is Jerry Keller still dead?
Wow. Jenene is hot.
Yeah she is.
Is that Osama??? Maybe Kellar is hiding with Bin Laden eating wings and crying about Penn State.

Was there a story in the TL? Can you post the link?
3:05, it was one of those Let's Pat Ourselves on the Back ads, not a story
Could be worse. Could be one of those Let's Not Tell the Truth Ads that run in the CV.
