We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I think the moderator thinks it should only be for "good old days Pittsburgh broadcast nostalgia." I don't agree with that. Not all hosts were sweethearts and some were very different off air than on air. Some who are admired, like Hoerth, caused a lot of their own problems.

You see this with one of Doug's big advocates: Lynn Cullen formerly of WTAE and WPTT. She is now stuck doing a podcast for City Paper because she had trouble not keeping her temper under control on air when she argued with callers on her "Lone Liberal" political talk show at PTT.
