Through WBZ, Paul Sullivan's family has released a statement on his battle with cancer:

... At this point we have decided to end medical treatments for Paul's cancer and focus on his comfort and quality of life. He will be in the hospital for the foreseeable future receiving hospice care. We feel he will be most comfortable here at Saint's Memorial Medical Center in Lowell, the city where he spent so much of his life.

Wellesley Crash Closes 95, Severely Injures 1.

Listen, kiddos, the only people who call that stretch of road "95" are tourists from Illinois and anal-retentive federal highway administrators. What's next? A story about Warchester?

Jessica Heslam was there last night:

... After the tribute, Sullivan's colleagues, friends and family lined the station's long corridor and applauded Sullivan as he and his wife left arm-in-arm.

WBZ, which broke the story of the ventilation building converted into a driving range, says South Boston, near where that tunnel collapsed. The Globe, playing catch up, says it's near Logan Airport in East Boston.

Who's right? Or are there two of them? In any case, shouldn't the turnpike authority be opening it (them?) to the public? Might be a way to recoup some of those overruns.

Just because you can rhyme "Moss" with "toss" and "sod" with "God" doesn't mean you should.

Ever wonder what poet of the airwaves Carl Stevens looks like? The 'BZ reporter files a video report on lottery fever in Brighton today:

Channel 4 is asking local journos to start calling it WBZ instead of CBS4Boston. Like they really need to be prompted? Anybody even remember what the Garden was briefly called?

Of course, guys, might help if you changed cbs4boston.com to point to www.wbztv.com instead of the other way around (hmm, how long before the TV station muscles the radio station out of www.wbz.com?).

You know those time tones WBZ-AM has played at the top of the hour every hour for the past 60 years or so - and no matter whether it comes in the middle of a commercial or promo? If you have a Linux computer and know what to do with some C code, you can synchronize your computer to WBZ time.

Via Spatch, who notes the final tone now always comes eight seconds after the hour:

How else to explain his unrelentingly bitter outlook on Massachusetts, the one that might make an observer exclaim "So move already!" Latest example: He sees "The Departed" and concludes it's proof the entire state of Massachusetts sucks.
