Please, Mr. Patrick, get your schedulers to get on the ball so you can see the reporters and editors at GateHouse New England before March 9:

It's true! Look at this headline from today's Times: New York Burger Stand on Boston's Seafood Turf?

Tonight at 8, Radio Boston will be hosting a live recording of our weekly program. We'll be talking about preventing gang violence, at the start of the "Season of Peace," with the Reverend Jeffrey Brown of the Ten Point Coalition, Robert Lewis Jr., of The Boston Foundation, Gary French of the Boston Police Department, and Tina Chery of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute. If you're interested in being in the audience send us your name, number of tickets and email address to .

WBUR reports on KennedySeat.com, the anonymously penned (um, typed) Web site that's keeping tabs on the Senate race like nobody's business. Reporter Monica Brady-Myerov gets the writer to dish a few details about himself (he's 29 and worked on Beacon Hill) and reports the site has put the fear of God into at least some people working on campaigns:

... But [the anonymity] is also a concern, according to an aide on one of the Senate campaigns who doesn't want to be named for fear of crossing the influential Web site. ...

Which gets a total of 550 visitors a day, most of them, apparently, campaign insiders.

With such limited space on the front page of the Boston Globe, you're always faced with tough decisions, such as: "Do we play up the hero Boston firefighter who once again saved a child or do we give the space to a month-old story about some rich guy who donated a ton of money to some town out near Lunenburg to build a library? And what about that story about John Kerry going to some environmental conference next month?"

And in the end you go with the rich guy in the boonies and John Kerry.

Rob Sama is one of those outliers who still relies on a traditional antenna to pull in TV. So he was surprised to discover that Channel 7 is moving to Channel 42:

... None of this bothered me terribly, except for the fact that I now had to reprogram my DVR to record off of 42 instead of 7. But it also seems as if at the same time they made this announcement, they turned down the signal strength on channel 42, so that now it doesn't come in smoothly like it used to, but cuts out periodically, making NBC basically unwatchable. ...

We hear the former 'BCN DJ is now fulltime producer for Nightside with Dan Rea. Dan Rea? WBZ political talk guy Dan Rea? Yep, Dan Rea. As producer, he books guests and helps decide what Rea will talk about each night.

On Sunday, the Globe came out with its guide to the top 100 places to work in Massachusetts. Darn magazine printing schedules: That was three days after one of those alleged worker nirvanas, the law firm of Goodwin Procter, laid off 55 people, who might have another viewpoint, Elie Mystal reports.

The Globe has a front-page story today about Frank McCourt, his wife, their divorce and how LA hates the pair. I must be the only person in Boston not familiar with Frank McCourt's physiognomy, because the Globe didn't mention it at all while highlighting the Missus's features, right there in the lead:

WGBH tells the Globe that when the purchase of WCRB goes through, it will eliminate folk and blues programs because there are other outlets for that in Boston (so good news for WUMB, Boston's other other public radio station) and it wants to keep its programming "unique." And by unique, it means adding news and information shows just like the ones WBUR and WBZ already broadcast.
