Heard today on WGN:

On Garry Meier's show, he had his listener mix tape feature on. When one woman called, she said, "Hi Garry....I'm fine!" Meier didn't miss a beat and said "yesss, we are...restricted on asking how you are, glad you are fine!"

Wonder if Pig Virus man heard that and then will be issuing a memo for the call screeners to not let listeners discuss "how they are" that day, in addition to not letting the hosts ask them!

What was the lead story on the 2pm news that day?

How should I know? I got in the car and started listening around 2:30. (Why are you asking here, instead of maybe checking station logs or emailing newsman Dave Stewart --?)

If Swiney was listening, I would hope even he would have gotten a good laugh from it. Now in my best Elton Ronny voice, "come on!"

I think Garry talked about the memo the day it was handed to staffers and began goofing with it right away and the callers played along with him. I didn't hear it myself, but someone who did was telling me about it.

Yes, when the memo came out, Garry immediately goofed with it that day. I specifically posted a topic about it as did another poster. While it does waste time, maybe if the format was restructured it wouldn't be such a critical issue to Swine Flu.

I think H1N1 has bigger fish to fry like getting the "Morning Show" off The Venilator.

You obviously don't understand WGN's demographic. They are #1 with folks on ventilators.
