Synergy, baby!

And now this programming note:

CNN called me before (and I got to refer them to Lou's VarietyHits.com for some facts) and let me know that the show has been moved to Tuesday night due to coverage of the death of Peter Jennings.

RIP Peter Jennings.
 
I'm confused...

The article goes to great lengths saying this format is atractive to and "kids in high school and college" and "Generation X". Isn't that more or less 18-24 & 18-34?

I thought there biggest appeal and aim was 25-54. Or is it really more like 34-44? Anybody who with a couple "JACK" influenced Maximisers laying around care to shed some light on this (without quoting actual #'s and such).

I'm looking at you David Eduardo :).

The confused party is Joel Stein of TIME.

He also has me back living in Connecticut in his article.

Imagine that. A Time reporter giving wrong information?
I just hope they call you the right name, Joe.

Good luck Tuesday. At least you don't have to compete
with the great William Shatner on Boston Legal (10 EST, ABC)
who also plays what he wants.

Peter Jennings death is really sad. Just not right.

You know, Shatner liners would be golden for a Bill FM somewhere. Complete with the excessive . . . dramatic . . . pauses!

I'd hire him in a minute for a station with the call letters KHAN.
