Subject: We've been waiting for a year-and-a-half for the "best" of Beck. A "Best of Beck"? Aren't those words mutually exclusive? I agree, a terrible waste of airwaves.

The reason The Best of Imus was aired was because he was on scheduled vacation. WPHT is obligated to carry the feed.

Actually KEH, WPHT (and all other affiliates of a syndicated program) are only obligated to air the commercials. WPHT easily could have had a live and local show yesterday if they wanted to, but obviously just did not want to.

[> [> [> Johnny is right, and I know from experience: as long as they'd run Imus's spots, PHT could've gone live & local. But some logistical questions: who would've hosted the show? What do you do for live updates, force KYW's reporters into double-duty? And during big news like this, don't people tend to go to KYW first anyway? WPHT going live & local would've been a lot of effort for little gain. They may have been better off with Imus on tape. -- "Vince From Villanova" (Darn those pesky logistics...), 10:04:40 02/19/03 Wed

Just wondering KEH, how long have you worked at WPHT?
