WANNA BUY ME?
So I read today that NBC30 is for sale! (Just kidding. I knew.)A blog reader posted a comment yesterday: "I read that NBCU is putting NBC30 up for sale. What does this mean to the station and the viewers?"
Whoever wrote has some knowledge of the business because he or she referred to NBCU, not just plain old NBC. (The "U" stands for Universal.)
Regardless, glad you asked.
The answer is...not much.
The viewers will still see the same quality news and programming they've always seen (hey, what's Monday without "My Dad is Better Than Your Dad"?)
The news will be assembled and reported by the same fine staff of people, and the same kind and benevolent managers will still manage.
Construction continues apace in the backyard on our new television station (or digital media center as they like to call it).
We will simply continue to do our jobs to the best of our abilities, and await the handing over of the keys to the new owners, who, we expect, will be fabulous. 
Some of us may choose to have our peacock tattoos removed, though I hear that's a long and painful process. (Especially where mine is.)
I do hope, however, the new owner buys us a pony. I know I've always wanted a pony, and I imagine my colleagues would love one too.
A Shetland pony.
That would be nice.

Whew! I hadn't heard the rumor, and my heart sank when I read the blog. Thank goodness we won't be losing YOU, Gerry, or the other people we invite into our homes every day. I go to bed with you and the others and wake up with Brad and the crew in the mornings! I don't want strangers either time. While I have your attention, could you gently remind Lisa that her blog needs a bit of attention? We've not heard from her since early February when she said she was forgetful. (smile)
Glad you are staying put, and I hope you get the shetland pony!
I reminded Lisa, but she looked at me and said, "Have we met?"
I just wanted to say I think your blog is hilarious. No matter what the topic I thoroughly enjoy your take on it. This blog thing is a great idea. Keep it up I love reading what you have to say. You have a great sense of humor!
Does this mean we should be distressed? I HOPE NOT! Happy holiday weekend, Gerry.
Thank you Anon...
And no worries, Peter, no worries.
I just know everyone at WVIT will always do a great job.
As for Lisa not updating her blog. I can sort of relate to this.
I haven't gone on my blogs of late because I don't really have much to say. So if I did blog it would end up looking like a Robin Williams skit of free form . Not a pretty sight.
