Just a few questions.
- I thought Quayle & Co.'s contract was up in September, which is what prompted the mass run to "BUG OUT!". Anyone know if the contract's been renewed? I'm assuming it has.
- Since John's on today, does tha mean Steve's on another day this week, or if he ain't on Monday, is Steve not on for the week?
If the contract's been renewed, is Steve now on for a wee one-day of Watchmanizing per week?
- Does anyone else see the Chiquita Banana song being an ivitation to turn the channel? Quoting: This Name For Rent 424457
wow, where to start...
The contract WAS up in Sept. Your guess is as good as ours.
I doubt Steve will be on this week, He only does Mondays, and they're taped shows.
the Banana song is John's trademark tune.
Phew! |

Breaking news_10-06-08_California Stations Plan for 'The Big One'
California Stations Plan for 'The Big One'
July's earthquake in L.A. got California stations as ready as possible for The Big One
By Michael Malone -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/6/2008
Earthquakes have been part of KNBC Los Angeles VP/News Director Robert Long's life longer than they haven't. He experienced his first in San Diego back around late '66, he says, as he was enjoying a night on the town with his Marine Corps buddies before being sent to Vietnam. The light over the pool table began to sway, Long recalls, and he wondered if he'd quaffed one too many whiskeys.
Long later experienced more quakes as a California newsman. There was Sylmar in 1971, which his cat presaged with an Olympian leap out of bed a few seconds before it hit; Northridge in 1994, which sent KNBC's televisions crashing to the floor; and most recently, the Chino Hills earthquake on July 29, measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale.
That quake caused no fatalities, but it put an exclamation point on an alarming fact that had come up three months earlier. In April, a group of scientists and engineers, working with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), released an official forecast of California earthquake probability, and the findings were frightful: They suggest a better than 99% chance of an earthquake measuring 6.7 or greater hitting the state sometime in the next 30 years, and a 46% chance of one posting a 7.5. (The Northridge quake, which claimed at least 60 victims and rang up $25 billion in damage, registered a 6.7.)
The prospect of a giant quake is always top of mind for station managers, and never more so than now. Many are taking advantage of technological advancements, such as mobile applications, user content and even Slingbox to better deliver crucial quake information. Each successive quake—even a relatively tame one like July's—is viewed as vital hands-on practice for The Big One.
Univision station KMEX Los Angeles will hold Earthquake Preparedness Week starting Oct. 13, with media outlets practicing communications and viewers posing questions to experts via a toll-free line. “After this past earthquake hit, we realized we had to plan something for our viewers,” says VP/General Manager Maelia Macin.
And the USGS and the California Office of Emergency Services, among others, are preparing what is essentially a fake quake on Nov. 13, bringing in hundreds of scientists and emergency responders and encouraging the whole of Los Angeles to take part in emergency drills when the quake “hits” at 10 a.m. (Residents are urged to at the very least “Drop, Cover and Hold On.”)
Preparation is essential, though prior experience doesn't make the situation easier to deal with. “I go back a long time with earthquakes, and I hate them,” says Long, who credited anchors Jennifer Bjorklund and Chris Schauble for keeping cool on air during the July quake, as opposed to the KNBC anchors seen scrambling under the desk during an '87 quake.
Those in the news business are not afforded the luxury of sneaking off to their safe place, be it metaphorical or actual, when the ground starts to shake. “What it comes down to is something awful happens and you cover it,” Long says. “Our business is public safety—breaking news in the service of public safety.”
