ha--are the folks at WRKO's site trying to tell me something? note the news story that pops right up on Howie's page:

>>Crew Paints Over Roadkill Raccoon
(see my screen name... :) ^(..)^

EMONT, Ill. A photograph sent to CBS 2 shows a raccoon dead in the middle of a Lemont street, and yellow stripes painted right over its body by road crews. As CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports, the outraged viewer who sent in the photograph was not the only one upset by the incident. "There was a dead raccoon here kind of where you see this black mark and it was dead and when they were striping the road they just striped right over it," said Sylvia Wilk of unincorporated Lemont.

I was discussing Howie’s situation with a member of our esteemed bar today, and it was his opinion (without knowledge of the actual contract) that Entercom has obviously won the legal argument, and they have Howie for 5 years should they want to retain him. He said the judge is known as a “business judge”, has a good reputation, and is known as being fair.

The problem for WRKO is what do they do? Do they really want angry host on the air? Even the judge must realize how ridiculous this situation is. I’m hoping he orders all parties into mediation and maybe there can be a deal worked out.
