[Las Vegas Dave]

Approximately 2 PM EST, the building that houses several companies on Oak Tree Blvd, opened a suspicious package, several people are ill and have received medical treatment. On of the companies is Clear Channel Radio, Cleveland's WTAM broadcasts there, and currentely are not available to stream their broadcasts. (They are streaming FOX sports.)

Anyone in the Northern Ohio/Western Pennsylvania/Southern Michigan area can receive the live broadcast on WTAM 1100 AM with Mike Trivasonno and his staff, they are broadcasting from a temporary studio set up in the parking lot.

There are no commercials, sports, traffic reports due to the building being evacuated.

"Officials say that the liquid was spilled on the package. The fire department contacted the package's sender, who said that the package only contained paperwork. "

Are we scaring ourselves silly or to death?

Meaning this is no false alarm?

Thanks for ping Dave. I have been listening almost full time to WHK rather than WTAM.. I still like Rush now & then, but the rest of the lineup sucks.

Hope all are okay. Bet it is a mess on 77/480 area as a result

Some employees were complaining of headaches and nausea. One employee drove herself to an urgent care facility

........and no doubt rifling throught their purses and wallets for their lawyer's phone number.

Crap! And FR's running weird as well.

Don't worry it wasn't hackers, it was just a database problem. I got an email from Jim Robinson yesterday.

Sorry, we're having a problem with our database. The system is down and will be down all day. Hope to have it running again sometime tonight.

Thanks,

No clue if it's close to LG's work. I didn't hear a thing about it til I got online just now, can't imagine he did either or he would have told me, but then again he was out on sales calls this afternoon. Just asked him and he said he hadn't heard a thing. His office is southeast of the city proper so probably not in the same neighborhood.

They booted Glenn Beck for Jerry Springer a couple months ago. Nice huh.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Heres a question : Whats a suspicious package look like ?

FedEx ?
Brown ?
Jones ?
Local Courier ?

And this from the FBI
