1010 WINS still lives.

(The 880 frequency will become ESPN radio.)

> 1010 WINS still lives.

Which, 'cuz AM radio car issues... is simulcast, more or
less, on 92.3 MCS FM. Much less range.

From Talkers: Call letters to be changed to WSHQ. And they'll still carry the Mets.

This is a bit personal for me, as a long time online friend of mine, an anchor on WCBS, is losing her job as a result of this.

Someone I've known since college is an afternoon drive anchor there. He's also gone.

Speaking of long-time online friends, I just realized I’ve been talking with you folks now for over 25 years, without actually meeting most of you in person.

It's been almost 30 years for me.  Amazing.

And so it goes,

The only one I've met was, iirc, Doug Elrod, who was
at my (then) NSW's and my post wedding celebration.

(She wasn't yet my Long Suffering Wife...)

I also spoke a few times with a couple of
our, alas, departed members.

Debbie Speer. Only reason I recognized her at the bar was because she bought her coveted WNN mug.

I've been to a baseball game in Lansing, Michigan, with Joseph Nebus (who I'm not sure is still on this list).

I've also met List Mom Rose, although now I can't remember the circumstances.

Despite now living in flyover country and conversing
with him numerous times, we've never met in person.

Hoping to see him someday at Marvin's [a] before
it gets shut down... In fact, Jim would lurve it, too.

Same here, and Debbie had the mug as well.

I heard you a few times during your KFBK days. Does that count?

And I've encountered Jim Ellwanger... I believe before the Dawn of Sierra Mist, if I might use the S.T.E.* dating :-).

P.S.  Around here the candy manufacturers are finessing the "Rushing the Halloween Season" problem by
calling it THE SNACKING SEASON (!)

[Mike Ward]

Sure, the judges will accept that...
