Dick Bolin talking. Here's the latest news from the Associated Press. 00:00:07 Associated Press (AP) He got a touchdown. Oh, doctor! 00:00:10 Speaker 3 News and Talk, WTAW. ------------------------------- 00:00:13 Tom Turbiville (TT) This is WTAW, the First 100 Years, I'm Tom Turbiville. At least as long as I've been around WTAW, it has been a family that takes care of its own in tough times. I certainly know that, and Sports Talk's Chip Howard certainly knows it, too. 00:00:30 Chip Howard (CH) Yeah, I went in to talk to Ben after I'd been diagnosed with colon cancer, and he looked at me and he said, you'll find that you're in pretty good hands around here. They allowed me the freedom to leave in the middle of the show on days where I wasn't feeling very well, and through that 18 months, and experienced stuff that you don't think you'll ever experience. But from that standpoint, it is a family, because if you're here long enough, you deal with a lot of issues that people around here have gone through over that period of time, right? And so yeah, from that standpoint, it's very much a family. 00:01:20 (TT) Yes, Chip Howard is mighty grateful for the family of WTAW, but he knows, that within these walls, he's certainly not alone. 00:01:28 (CH) Yeah, percentage-wise, I don't know, I mean everybody's been touched by it, you know, so it's hard to say, but yeah, we've had a lot of it. There's no doubt about that. We've certainly had our share. 00:01:40 (TT) Yes, Chip Howard is mighty grateful for the family of WTAW, but he knows that within these walls, he's certainly not alone. Yes, they do have each other's back. At WTAW, the First 100 Years.
