Good Afternoon!

What's new at your radio or TV station?  Please reach out.

From the IRW e-mail bag: "Many years ago, my grandfather worked as a announcer on Shelbyville's WSVL and WSRK-FM.  His name was George Lambert and he always signed off by saying and that's the news by George... I sadly lost my grandfather back in 2010. I have been searching everywhere I can to see if I could get copies of his broadcasts."  If you can help, or have advice, please e-mail me.

While I recover from jetlag (NAB trip), here's a few interesting items I've read:

From the Reading Pile: Alexa's routines can now play music, podcasts and radio shows.

From the Reading Pile: Journalism programs concerned over Sinclair’s news promo.

From the Reading Pile: How to make local news relevant again.

From the Reading Pile: Northwestern will help local newsrooms study and design a sustainable approach — as local TV news’ potential grows.

That's all for this issue. Thank you for your continued support.
