Today’s Topics

6:10-6:20:

- The New York Knicks have won only fourteen games this season. Bill is having problems with his technology and it is not because Mercury is in retrograde! We also have to be careful not to get on any list with all the searches of "Radio Jihad" our staff has been doing between yesterday and today.

6:20-6:30:

- The Utica Observer Dispatch has a big story about Hotel Utica even though nothing seems to be developing. Denise calls up for the first time in a long time. We get more news about the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 crash in the French Alps on Tuesday and it is still a wacky technology day.

6:40-6:50:

- We talk about the issue of professional MMA in New York State. Madison Square Garden is union and UFC is not, so that's where the tie up is. There are a bunch of license plates that are dirty, racist, etc. and all of them have been banned. 6,942 vanity plates...banned! Ray Stagich also gives us his Weather Channel forecast.

6:50-7:00:
