» Can't We All Just Get Along? Although the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama camps may not exactly be ready to hug each other quite yet, past and present WLS/Chicago staffers did just that when reunited at the DNC in Denver this week. Former WLS host Jay Marvin -- now hosting at liberal talker KKZN/Denver -- was a guest on Salem Communications conservative talker WIND/Chicago where he chatted with "Big John" Howell and one-time WLS News Director Cisco Cotto. Current Salem Radio Network VP and former President/GM of WLS Tom Tradup then appeared on Marvin's program and also reunited the progressive host with current WLS conservative afternooner Roe Conn making it a veritable love fest in the Mile High City. Tradup was later seen handing out brass belt buckles to all involved saying, "These are the very last of my old "Music Radio 89" belt buckles and this was the perfect place to exhaust my supply!"

» Mutual/NBC Reunion Planned: Calling all alumni of the Mutual/NBC newsroom for a planned September 13 reunion at the Hyatt Hotel in Crystal City (Arlington), VA. Alumnus and longtime DC publicist Rita Rich says, "It's been ten years since operations ceased for those radio news operations. We did a great job, often with less financial resources and personnel than our competition. We chronicled the building of the Berlin Wall and were there when it came down. The same reporter -- Dick Rosse -- was there for both events. We were at every fireside chat and carried every Presidential radio address through the 1990s. We've got stories to share, and most importantly, we get to share the company of each other." Get more info and put your name on the invitation list for the reunion HERE.

» Stephanie Miller Mobilizes: As she broadcasts live from this week's DNC in Denver and next month's gathering of Republicans in Minneapolis, the Dial-Global syndicated lefty talker has partnered with Foneshow to provide on-the-go/on-demand mobile phone access to content from her daily radio show including regular features "Right Wing World," "Stand Up News," and "Tinsel Talk." "Mobile is an important emerging platform for radio and we're thrilled to be a part of Foneshow," said Miller about the new service for listeners. "Foneshow allows me to deliver unique and compelling material apart from my radio program to my fans via mobile text during both party conventions."
