Today was the last day for several behind the scenes staffers. They include Dino Pilizzi (Cameraman) after 43 years, Lana Hinshaw Klann (Camerawomen) after 25 years, and Beth Furehling (managing editor) after 31 years.

I wonder if this was a coincidence that they all retired on the same day or if the Paramount buy outs had something to do with it?

What would be some good examples of where two media markets might overlap? In the Chicago area, the Kenosha/Racine area is where the Chicago and Milwaukee market overlap. Same thing for Barrien County Michigan and Laporte county Indiana . The Chicago and South Bend markets overlap. Thanks.
