A "Popular" Website Is Up For Sale

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

A "Popular" Website Is Up For Sale

Post by soccerguy »

Looks like Mark Halburn is moving on.....

From PutnamLIVE.com:

"The web site that has shot to the top of Putnam County readership in a few short years is for sale.

"I am looking for someone that loves Putnam County and wants to take news coverage to the next level," says PutnamLIVE.com Publisher Mark Hallburn. "We have raised the bar for news coverage in Putnam County and want to see that continue."

Hallburn started PutnamLIVE.com in order to bring daily news coverage to Putnam County. Soon he is moving to the Carolinas to take over a major news web site there."

Let the games begin!

Does this mean our slogan will change to:

Dedicated to the memory of W. Richard "Dick" Martin Sr, Ken Auble, Nick Fantasia, Dave McLain, and Mark Hallburn.

Wonder why he is moving on?

Wal*Mart buy the house?
A "win" in putnam county court is not a "win"?
Mother-in-law died?

Wonder what?

When Wal*Mark gives up the URL, we should get it and operate it as a satire site. Dedicated to Kanawha Stone and Wal*Mart.

I'll bet Bob Campbell has something to do with this.

Guess that lawsuit he threatened me with last month didn't pan-out. :lol:

I'll start the bidding at $5 for the website, but only if he throws-in all rights to use that photo of him with the fish...

He said "Carolinas". That does not mean Raleigh or Charlotte.
Maybe that means some shit hole on the border.

Could mean Charlotte....I think that's the area most commonly referred to in that way. Could also mean Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, a single TV market that spans both states and is also often referred to collectively. I don't know why either of those would need another website, though. Therefore, I'm thinking Rockingham.....

...or "South Of The Border!"

I'd obtain it and promptly set it up to auto-forward to walmart.com.

why would someone have to move to take over a web site??? I have a friend in ohio that runs sites for companies all over the east coast.
Doesn't MSNBC stand for the Media that Spins the News for Barrack's Cabinet?
