Re: super sandy coverage
If OT is paid at time and a half, is there a law requiring Comp Time to be time and a half?

" >> I know that stuff sounds like the good old days to you but touting stations that stayed on the air in New Jersey which actually got the broadside and comparing those stations to radio here in what was a 99.8% non-event makes you sound like old coots sitting on the porch complaining about the here-and-now to make you feel better about what it was like when you were relevant. <<"
That's harsh. It was not a non-event. It affected exactly half the contiguous 48 states and still is. Plus, the weakening eye of the storm passed through the Commonwealth and caused emergency conditions in the state capital. Moreover, many of us know people, relatives and friends, who live in those besieged states. Additionally, power was out to many thousands of people in this state -- to over a million people. Twelve people in the state lost their lives, some in counties geographically on both sides of this forum.
Finally, the forecast was steering into colder weather in dark homes plus another storm in back of it.
Many of us were lucky. But to call it a non-event after the fact isn't being fair.
Radio was all that millions of people had. Those radio staffers who braved it out, irrespective of how well they did, deserve more credit than merely being labelled superfluous, or rabble-rousers.
One potential 'positive' amid all the unlikely weather we've been having in recent times (in this state and elsewhere) is that there could develop a heightened awareness in radio and media in preparation for the unforgiving winter weather. We're five weeks away from the start of winter!
@Arminus : Great to hear about the job they did at WMGH. We didn't have the radio on at all here because we had lights throughout. It's comforting to know that WMGH is such a place. They'll probably be the first one we tune in next time. They and the other stations that did terrific jobs should toot their horns about it for a while, on and off the air, dontcha think?
