Whether you woke up happy or sad this morning...

...it was by any measure a momentous occasion in the history of American democracy: the election of the country's first black president.

And whether or not you were happy to see that U.S. map turn blue, there's also no question that -- by any measure -- Parkies in our television and radio studios produced some extraordinary media last night, the kind of informative, accurate, compelling and entertaining breaking-news coverage that proves (once again) that you guys are pros.

My sincere thanks to everybody who worked SO hard to give our community the news we needed, when we needed it. (And I would have been happy to publish a photo of the radio staff, too, if I had one [hint, hint]....)
