    He claims he's going into radio. The TL had a front-page story about it on 1/23.

    Did he get work with the local Radio Disney affiliate?

    Word on the street is, the SE just resigned. He'll still be there through March, but I would doubt he'll be involved in the hiring process.

    I wish I had a clever username...

    Why do I feel like I have a good idea who this is? No outing, just saying.
     
  6. I didn't think much of Andy Dufresne the first time I laid eyes on him. Looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over. That was my first impression of the man.

    What happened with the SE? What led to the resignation?

    A little birdie told me today that the job was offered to a veteran who had grown up outside W-B, but he turned it down over pay.

    Keep the resumes coming.

    Keystone, which gig? And how bad was the pay?

    It was for the reporter's job. Apparently the difference in pay was about 6K. Would've been a great salary for that area for someone single, not so great if you're raising a family.

    Apparently, $115 stood in the way of taking the gig. I'm suprised a medium couldn't have been found.

    A well-placed source tells Wicked that the main beat on this reporter gig would be field hockey. Not disparaging field hockey, but are ya gonna really get room to grow with a beat that centers on chicks with sticks?
