whither jazz in L.B.?

I keep hearing the same rumbling, from different quarters. Tonight seemed to seal the deal.

Last week, I called JA, prexy of the PPR board, who said that he'd be soon coming out with the story in order to save the station, but wasn't quite ready now.

At Sat. nite's party, Ryan told me that MPR is waiting in the wings, something that Mike confirmed both to me and on a discussion board that the deal is as good as sealed, that F. King put in an RFP, whatever the hell that is, and that jazz is on its way out and we'll have a 3rd NPR style station in our midst - big whoopie! Let the celebration begin...more Prarie Home Companion for eveyone!

Thanks Big Judy, you got dumped and still managed to pull disaster out of a thriving, unique & special mom & pop that I helped start 25 years ago. And a special atta boy to Rick L., who's doing the same thing to Miami radio. Way to go!...if you like MPRX3, that is.
