-Not necessarily.  I don't know anyone in Buffalo, but I read that board because I'm interested in Spitzer's impact on that market.  You're reading the NNE board because that's where the station stealing from the Z happens to be located.  Then again, you knowing somebody here could also be the case.

As for sharing the Phone Taps...am I getting $$$?

-If you're writing them, and they're airing on another station, it seems like you should be.  I'm not at all a union/legal expert, but are you an AFTRA member?  Would they help you out if they knew something like this was going on?

And no, syndicating our NY show probably wouldn't be a direct hit in VT..but you
never know. Our show seems to have been on XXX for some time now!!

-While your "Bensonhurst" parody song might be over everybody's head in the 802, your celebrity gossip and "Elvis' List" bits would work.  Every morning show in Burlington (with the obvious exception of the lame duck Stern) is a 2 or 3 person operation.  The "Zoo" concept is an untapped concept in Burlington radio.

JUST TO CLEAR THAT UP, YOU DON'T WRITE PHONE TAPS. YOU CALL PEOPLE UP AND PISS THEM OFF OR FOOL THEM...THEY ARE REAL PHONE PRANKS. NO ACTORS

Okay, we got the picture.  So, are you an AFTRA member, or not?  Has Z100 or CC taken any further action on this beyond making a bit out of it on the Zoo?

AFTRA YES

Honestly at this point I'd rather not comment any further in a public forum. Sorry. But thanks for the fun back and forth. Take care.

It's been real.  I'd hate to see somebody trying to make an honest career in radio have these kinds of things happening to them.  Best of luck, Comedy.
