I’ll be putting together a list to: Advertisers on WEEK and WHOI should Granite movee these reporting jobs to Indiana.
Why stop in Indiana? We could get our local news from India? Free Trade Uber Alles. It’s not as far fetched as you think. We fight amongst ourselves while the New World Order crowd marches on.
Wow! How disappointing. Just another nail in Peoria’s coffin. How can a community appear vibrant without the area news programs communicating a local flavor?
What about Max Headroom?
Saw this the other day and think it totally sucks. Plan to contact everyone on the list. Hope everyone else we can think of does the same.
Got an email back from Desantis saying this is a rumor and is not being contemplated. Hmmmm.
