Weekend Open Thread, I Got Nothin' Edition 2/23/08-2/24/08Submitted by LynnS on Sat, 02/23/2008 - 1:19am.
Tired and achy. Spring is "do not want" time for people with fibromyalgia. I've turned into one of those old ladies who complain about their joints. Feh. But otherwise we're happy and chipper here at the OMI Anchor Desk. Each daughter has her own room to destroy now, after nearly 7 years of sharing, and Cablenut and I have our first closet with an actual door on it in 20 years. ah, luxury. you? ( topics: General Media )
I just stumbled upon Better TV's Youtube. I didn't know they had one. It looks like they joined more than 2 years ago but only has videos 1 month old. Hey- I'm surprised no one has mentioned (aka Kvetched) about CW starting a 6 am newscast? Dancer's saying there's going to be a "change" that will be announced during tonight's 11pm cast. This has to be related to the rumored run for Secretary of State. What do people think of OPB's "Think Out Loud" program? Maybe I'm late to the party, but I don't think I've seen it on an OMI discussion thread yet. Lynn- So Rick Dancer just announced he was leaving to run for Secretary of State.....anyone care to comment??? Hey I just watch a promo for kptv 4o clock news and it says bill diaz will i think be doing traffic. is this true? What's the story with Don Hamilton, the Columbian reporter who was laid off last week? I heard he was the only reporter out of 30 positions cut at the paper. Is there any suggestion that this was related to the legal troubles he had for looking on the computer in an ambulance, which led to criminal charges that the paper didn't defend? BTW, Don is a former Oregonian and Tribune reporter. I don't know about the reason for his layoff, but apparently he has resurfaced as the new spokes-flack for the Oregon Secretary of State's office, replacing Scott Moore. Lynn, Came across this article today, maybe donning the nose plugs might help your condition. http://www.newsmax.com/health/swimming_fibromyalgia_/2008/02/22/74687.ht... If there's an ad by Newt Gingrich or Ann Coulter on this site don't shoot the messenger. Interesting read. ...is that KGW is in for some sweeping cuts, beginning with news photogs losing their vehicles, and many other cost saving moves to come. Can anyone from SW Jefferson Street confirm this? Is this the beginning of a nose dive, or just a bump in the digital highway? Are reductions in staff far off? Rumor is that space in Pioneer Square may run in excess of $50K a month, and the early conversion to local HD cost KGW more than a $Million. Where will that come from? The bottom line, or the backside of every staffer? Maybe Lynn can elicit some insider info, and bump this thread to the top line. Or, not. find out the ridiculous reason why... Post new comment |
