Mark Pazniokas of The CT Mirror pens an excellent behind-the-scenes piece today on Linda McMahon’s press operations headed by Ed Patru.

A highlight: Patru leaves his fiancee’s bridal shower to respond to a reporter, noting, “You can’t walk away from work. News is reported in real time.”

According to their site, the Wesleyan Media Project was established in 2010 to track advertising in federal elections and is a successor to the Wisconsin Advertising Project, which tracked political advertising between 1998 and 2008.  The project highlights that the amount of spending on Congressional TV ads from Jan. 1 through Sept. 15 came to $220 million, compared to $135 million over the same period in 2008.  In Connecticut, spending for that period was $10.4 million.  The volume of political ads is only going to increase over the next few weeks.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, however.  Only 35 more days until election day and we can go back to commercials with real substance.

WTIC-AM has announced that former Governor John Rowland will be hosting his own show at the station.  The show will air from 3 to 6 p.m. on WTIC 1080. Co-hosting with Rowland will be Rev. Will Marotti, senior pastor at New Life Church in Meriden. The pair has a 1-year contract with the station.

Apparently the folks at WTIC were impressed with Rowland when he went on the air for a few days in the July.  Rowland has been in talks with WTIC for months.

From WTIC-AM’s press release:

Rowland and Marotti will focus on and talk about local issues that affect our towns and state, including the elections coming up this fall.  The show won’t be all politics as the pair plan to tackle overcoming adversity and dealing with life’s challenges; they won’t be afraid to discuss issues that affect everyday life. With a call in format anything goes and Rowland and Marotti bring the candor and experience of 25 years in public life and 25 years of ministry experience.

Colin McEnroe, who inhabited this time-slot for a dozen years at WTIC, believes the show will be a success.
