A Triple Update

Friday: April 18th 2008

Funny how Oregonian updates on our shows seem to come in threes:

  • ? Carl and Raylene Worthington, the Oregon City faith healing couple whose daughter Ava died in March, have set up a website as a public component of their defense.
  • ? A state panel will review what should happen to patients once they've been relased from the Oregon State Hospital.
  • ? And it turns out that the weak dollar and global wheat shortage meant good news for Oregon's exports, which were at record levels in 2007. More reasons that keeping food in Oregon is harder than it sounds.
You don't have anywhere appropriate to post this, so here goes:

"Public Radio to Cancel a Morning Experiment"

"National Public Radio officials are expected on Monday to tell the staff members of ?Bryant Park Project? that their experimental weekday morning program, designed to draw a younger audience to public radio and capture listeners who had moved online, is being canceled."

Etc. When will OPB similarly realize that more and more unscripted, unstructured talk radio is not what its listeners want?
