The ongoing media bloodbath is really depressing. Howard Sudberry worked with Johnny Morris at Channel 2, for crying out loud. No one’s safe.

Howard Sudberry…..great guy. Joanie Lum, married to Bart Moy, long a City Hall person. Ms. State was not the answer. they should never have axed Linda MacLennan. she was a treasure.
the news biz is very tough now.
