As you no doubt toil with election results, the choice here is to write about something and someone that brings a smile. Let’s set the scene – Portland, Oregon. A market where so many would adore a marketing gig…you call and ask to be alerted when there’s an opening. Well, the market will go through a 100% turnover in TV creatives this year…so unusual even in today’s turmoil. Landing in Portland at KPTV Fox is the wonderful RANDAL GAGE. He’s a Seattle guy who’s back in his part of the world after heading up the Oklahoma City Hearst marketing at KOCO. He was there quite a long stretch but home is home..trees are trees. Sorry OKC but you lose in the tree department. He’s been Assistant Creative Services Director in Pittsburgh at WTAE and produced promos at KOMO and KING in his hometown. What wonderful news. No doubt his days of Tornado Warnings are over. One, two, three…Well Dunne! my friend.

Well Dunne! to PEGGY MCCLELLAND,  CSD at WISH-TV for her upcoming induction to the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame this coming October.
