I'm sorry to report that TV Critic Phil Rosenthal is leaving us after a
great 9-year tenure here.

Phil is going to the Tribune where he will soon become Media Columnist for
the Business section.

Our search for a new TV Critic is underway.

I kid! I kid, Phil. The Tribune is an exceedingly pleasant place to work. You'll have a blast.
