Many modern radios have a built in alarm that turns on a station at a time of your choosing. They're not exactly clock radios, more like radios with a clock. They also come with a timer than can turn your radio off after a certain number of hours, so you can fall asleep and not worry about it being on all night.

I have several clock radios. But I only use them as a clock. Every clock radio I've ever seen has a garbage radio. When we're traveling I always take along a clock radio and a real radio. I lot of hotels have removed the clocks from their rooms. They say most guests prefer to use the clock in their phone.

So I teke along the clock radio to use asa clock and a real radio to listen to.

You know, that is probably the reason why I have never owned a clock radio.

Perhaps this person was shown the door because they didn't just disagree, they were disagreeable. This is one of SOWNY's biggest no-no's.

Finally found a linkable article. Wow, what's going on at 60 Minutes is simply incredible. It's an open revolt and there are signs it will not stop anytime soon. This a remarkable - and sadly true - story, the kind 60 Minutes itself might have told in any other circumstance.   

Open Revolt at CBS

I can't link to this story but the New York Times has issued an exclusive that indicates Scott Pelley, the de facto lead reporter for CBS' 60 Minutes, tore a strip off his boss and his new producer in a private meeting at the network on Monday. 

According to the Times, which got its hands on a recording of the session, what they describe as Pelley's "voice shaking with anger," accused the new executive producer of the show, a guy named Nick Bilton, of having no television experience and knowing nothing about the inner workings of arguably the most successful TV news show in history.

He also insisted that Bari Weiss, the new head of CBS News, was deliberately trying to "murder" 60 Minutes. 

"She is murdering ‘60 Minutes,’” the correspondent said. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that.”

Mr. Pelley added: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she’s made at the ‘Evening News’ have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”

For his part, Bilton explained he wasn't planning any immediate major changes to the show and tried to reassure the staff that's left after several firings that it would be business as usual. 

When Bilton departed, the remaining staff in the meeting reportedly gave Pelley a standing ovation.

After dismissing correspondents Sharon Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega last week, you have to wonder if they would dare fire Pelley, nominally the face of the show in recent years. 

At this point, it looks like the internal turmoil at the classic news magazine will be far more interesting to watch than any of its upcoming stories.

I have several clock radios. But I only use them as a clock. Every clock radio I've ever seen has a garbage radio. When we're traveling I always take along a clock radio and a real radio. I lot of hotels have removed the clocks from their rooms. They say most guests prefer to use the clock in their phone.

So I teke along the clock radio to use as a clock and a real radio to listen to.

Our first record player was a Seabreeze with detachable speakers. Very hi-tech for its time. My first transistor radio arrived for Christmas 1965. WBT and WBZ were my first DX catches. We never had a party line but when I moved to Hamilton to attend McMaster in 1972, my landlady did. I never owned a clock radio. And my family's first console tv was a 1961 Phillips 21" set. When the set was on the channel indicator box lit up. I thought we should have bought an Admiral like my grandparents had. Too expensive according to my dad.

Apparently CTV London had a screw up on Friday’s 11 PM newscast. They started off of the report of Canada’s economy situation. But when they were about to air the local reaction from Londoners. They instead played the story from City Hall. Like we really wanted to see that instead of Canada’s economy?  Even Lauren Stallone did even know the problem or didn’t apologize to the viewers about it.

Our mail server was down for 2 weeks and nobody noticed.
Nothing has really changed or updated on what we offer in 5 years, but keep paying.
Must be nice.
 

Thanks for this, RA. As the administrator of The Oldies Music Board, I have a setting turned on that notifies me of every new post, and a couple of weeks ago I stopped receiving these notifications. I had tried turning this setting off and back on again to no avail, and so I figured something must have gone wrong with Boardhost. On the weekend I started getting numerous notifications about new posts that I'd already seen, so this would explain it. Glad that things are back to normal now. 

A few users contacted me on the weekend to complain they were being inundated with emails telling them there were new posts on topics they were interested in. But when they went to check, there was nothing new there. 

So why did it happen? As I suspected, it was a glitch at Boardhost. 

To their credit, they responded to an email from me asking for an explanation. Here it is:

Hi,

What's going on is that our mail server decided, without consulting anyone, to die unexpectedly. While it was taking its unscheduled vacation, roughly two weeks' worth of email notifications quietly piled up in a queue.

Once the issue was fixed, the server enthusiastically set about delivering everything it had been holding onto. As a result, users have been receiving notifications for messages, requests, and other events that may already have been dealt with, expired, or otherwise ceased to be exciting news.

The good news is that the problem has now been resolved and the backlog has been cleared. The bad news is that there isn't a way to selectively make only the emails people wanted arrive while suppressing the ones they didn't. Things should now be back to normal, and no further delayed notifications should be generated.

Thank you,

Boardhost Support

So apologies to those who got too much mail from them and me. It shouldn't happen again!

Just checked.
