Just when you think Dan York CAN'T get any more full of himself, he proves you wrong.

For the record: I've NEVER thought Dan couldn't-get-more-full-of-himself.

On Thursday, he told listeners that the people at NBC10 News "WANT TO BE DAN YORKE."

Absolutely a true statement by Dan Yorke.
Now what was the context of that comment Holley? What was being discussed Holley??

Well Holland??
 
RE "Well Holland???"

The reference you're looking for is a couple-pages-back, RE Dan offering -- with-a-straight-face -- that folks-doing-interview-shows on NBC10 "WANT TO BE DAN YORKE." No word as to whether NBC10 accepted his on-air offer to take-over 10 News Conference.

PS: If you do a talk show, here's a '08 election call-in topic that's NOT arcane, boring political "inside baseball:"

If you missed "Hardball with Chris Matthews" Monday night, watch this clip, and read what-was-said (http://mediamatters.org/items/200806160010) by one of the unidentified info-babes you see me schmoozing in the Talkers New Media Seminar photo @ www.HollandCooke.com.

Ask callers if they agree/disagree with what-she-said-about-how-women-vote.
Work this right, and your phone will EXPLODE.

Why are you still not offering up the context of Yorke's accurate comment about reporters at channel 10?
Well Holley?
 
This'll save us 45 minutes...

clearly:

a.) We're not communicating well; and
b.) others are exasperated that this thread continues.

So that you-can-ask-what-you're-asking more cleary, call me: 401-330-6868.
You may then post notes-from-our-conversation here.

Not anonymous,

As Joni Mitchell sang, "call me at the station, the lines are open..."

"That's 401-330-6868," if you haven't already found the pertinent reference, several pages back.
I hear crickets chirping, so I'm thinkin' you might've.

Remember the song?

"You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" was the Pro Prime Mover that week when I drove into Providence, in my '65 Mustang (with no heat), to bring WPRO PD Jay Clark a real C- aircheck from Springfield.

But I was NOT, as Joni's lyric began "...drivin' into town with a dark cloud above you."
I had "dial[ed]-in the station that's bound to love you."
"'Cause, honey, you turn me on, I'm a radio."

In-addition-to that call-in topic recommended up-above (RE campaign '08, from "Hardball with Chris Matthews"), here's another that's lit-up-the-phones for several hosts I work with:

A Vermont state senator has proposed a 4-day school week; and offers calculus that it'll save energy (one-less-day of full-blast winter heat and electricity in school buildings, less oil spent shuttling munchkins back-and-forth, etc.). And he's apparently also making-the-case that kiddos can learn as much in 4 smartly-planned days as in 5 with study hall and other schedule styrofoam.

Google it and see what you can find.
Then, ask callers: "DO YOU THINK *WE* SHOULD GO TO A 4-DAY WEEK HERE? ONE, EIGHT HUNDRED..."

Note: "HERE," vs. "HERE IN RHODE ISLAND," since so many listeners in Arbitron's Providence MSA aren't in RI.

And don't confine it to the SCHOOL week.
"HOW ABOUT A 4-DAY *WORK* WEEK?"
"ON *YOUR* JOB, COULD *YOU* ACCOMPLISH-AS-MUCH IN 4 TEN-HOUR DAYS AS 5 EIGHTS? ONE, EIGHT HUNDRED..."

"AND IF YOU *HAD* A 4-DAY WEEK, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR NEW DAY OFF?"

One response we've heard from callers in several markets is a barometer of the-economy-being-as-it-is-lately.
"I'VE GOT AN IDEA FOR A BUSINESS."
Americans are getting entrepreneurial....working up side bets.
When hosts follow-up, "HAVE *YOU* GOT AN IDEA, BUT NOT THE TIME TO TAKE-IT-OUT-FOR-A-SPIN?" others call.

Try it on your show...or don't, "if you've got too many doubts. If there's no good reception for me then tune me out, cause honey who needs the static? It hurts the head. And you wind up cracking, and the day goes dismal..."
