the california legislature passed two laws designed to curb telemarketing calls, and gov. davis actually signed them. it's too bad the do-not-call list doesn't kick in until 2003.

the quotes in this article about wcco's new general manager by don shelby are great: "The television business in this country is completely out of control. If the public were to ever see the amount of money being taken out of these cities and stations, they'd be amazed." a profit margin of forty percent is amazing. the government should be collecting license fees for the television broadcast spectrum.
