Mister Rogers Neighborhood Is Leaving PBS…For Good…
Yep…Mister Rogers Neighborhood will no longer be on PBS starting in 2009. I know, Fred Rogers has been dead for 5 years, but his legacy was still living through that show. It’s sad for me to hear this because I grew up with this man and find myself watching the show every now and again at 23 years old. And now because of low ratings they are dropping the show. I actually, met Mr. Mcfeeley (the mailman) a couple months ago while working for Radio Disney and got his autograph. I felt like I was 4 years old again when he said “Speedy Delivery!”. The kids growing up with Hannah Montana, the Wiggles, and Veggietales don’t know what they’re missing. So, today when you come home from work, school, or where ever can you please give Mister Rogers a salute by taking your shoe off and flipping it in your hand, just like he would do every show. …i guess all good shows must come to an end…

About
My name is Daniel Dudley, but you also may know me as D.D., and a ton of other nicknames! I LOVE THE CLEVELAND BROWNS, NOTRE DAME Football, ARIZONA Basketball, & I Hate The Steelers!! I work part-time for 1250 ESPN Radio & Radio Disney AM540 in Pittsburgh. So basically, i listen to people talk about sports and rock out to the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana and get paid for it.
I’ve wanted to be a Reporter/Anchor since I was in 5th grade and I couldn’t see myself doing anything else (btw if you know anyone that can hook me up with a job…holler). But right now I just check TVJobs.com every 5 minutes for openings and send resume tapes and dvds out to TV stations(i spend so much money in shipping).
I am a May 2008 Graduate of the Gina Martino Dahlia School of Broadcast News @ West Virginia University. The most ”Slept On” broadcast news program in the country and the #4 Party School in the country… What can i say? I took the #1 ranking with me when I left!
My ispirations for this blog are hiphopgame, kanye west’s blog, pittsburgh puck talk (HEY CHRISTINA!!), Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine, and my brain constantly telling me to write stuff down!
…again…enjoy my blog damn it and if you don’t, then pass the link along to someone that will enjoy it, and if they dont enjoy it…well…then…Peace & Much Love To You!
