“Center City
Chic”
A large Philadelphia area advertising and marketing agency has
gone out of business after 30 years.
Star Group Communications, with
offices in Center City Philadelphia and
Voorhees, N.J., shut down this summer.
The firm filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy recently.
According to the company’s website, clients at one time or another, included the law firm of Fox Rothschild, Wharton at University of
Pennsylvania, Tropicana Entertainment, Teva, and Comcast.
The company was considered the largest women-owned marketing and communications agency in this region.
According to their website that announced the closing, the termination was “due to a situation beyond our control, Star Group Communications, Inc. will cease to operate.”
In Sept. 2014, the firm had about 170 area employees.
It also had ofices in Las Vegas and New York.
The CEO was Linda Rosanio. She was also a co-founder.
PR PRO Nicole Cashman,
owner of Cashman & Associates, 232 N. 2nd St., Phila.
(215-627-1060) was featured
by Daily News' Reuben Harley
in his "street gazing" feature
Sept. 2, reporting on her attire as “Center City Chic.” The
firm's web page lists clients
from many area major firms
and organizations.

It’s called “negative option”
marketing.
And it means that after making
a small trial purchase, even under
$10, that if you do not cancel the
trial purchase you’re obligated to
be pay additionally at huge costs.
Because a Philadelphia firm
marketed this way for their learn
a foreign language courses, they
were the subject of a Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Bureau of
Consumer Protection Lawsuit.
The accusation was settled recently with the company
agreeing to pay $1 million.
The firm is Internet Order
L.L.C., also doing business as
Stroll & Pimsleur Approach,
1600 JFK Blvd., 3rd Floor, 19103.
The money will go as restitution to those who inadvertently
thought they were spending only
$9.95 for a trial, and wound up-because they did not cancel-bills of about $1,180.
The firm’s audio language
courses covered a large number
of foreign languages.

Philadelphia’s CBS TV-3
abruptly terminated three veteran television, on-camera staffers
recently.
They are Chris May, Eyewitness News anchor, Kathy Orr, a
weather reporter, and Beasley
Reece, sports anchor.
One of the first public announcements came from Daily
News columnist Jenny DeHuff.
According to DeHuff, the
dismissal was by the station’s

A Shake-Up Summer
If you work in local TV news,
don’t sign any long-term leases.
By: Mike Mallowe
Never put money on what
seems like a sure thing. The
house always wins.
The prospect of KYW-TV3’s
long-time anchors covering the
Pope-in-Philadelphia
seemed
certain. But, that’s why the smart
money has a way of staying right
in people’s pockets.
No Pope-Mobile shots with
three of the most popular and respected anchors in recent Philadelphia TV history. That may be
the biggest upset of the summer.
Most fans of the on-air talent at KYW-TV, the CBS station in Philadelphia, would have
bet big that meteorologist Kathy
Orr, news anchor Chris May
and sports chief Beasley Reece
would have been around to cover Pope Francis I when he greeted the faithful along Ben Franklin
Parkway.
Thanks, in large part, to
those three and others at KYW,
the station has always connected very, very well with the community.
Kathy Orr and Carol Erickson, in particular, can be magical with Delaware Valley crowds.
Just to acknowledge the
competition, Adam Joseph, over
at WPVI-TV6, ABC, has the
same gift. People adore them
and they give the public that
love right back. (All of these pronouncements are based on personal observation, where they
happened to be covering the
same thing I was.)
Local News
Upheaval
But, their Papal moment was
not to be – at least not at KYW.
This summer saw one of the
biggest shake-ups in local TV
history with the dismissal of Orr,
May and Reece, along with the
station’s parting company with
its president and GM, sales director and news director.
Just for good measure veteran broadcaster Carol Erickson
said “Thanks, but no thanks”, to
a new contract offer, as reported
in the Inquirer and several other
sources.
The executive behind all
these changes, at least on the
surface, is Brien Kennedy, KYW’s
new president and GM. He’s a
veteran of several small-market
stations, the most recent being
Minneapolis. Whether his knowhow translates to a major market
setting remains to be seen.
These moves, while not
unprecedented in local TV, do
suggest an angry impatience
with the status quo at 6pm and
11pm, as measured by the ratings points and audience size.
They, in turn, allow the stations
to charge whatever the market
will bear to local advertisers and
also pick-up a split of the national take from the networks.
Local news has always
made money for both the stations and the networks; never
more so than now.
By some measures the local stations actually out-perform
the national news operations in
terms of profit percentages.
How could that be?
The three local stations in
every big market dominate their
metro regions and feed an audience that’s hungry for local news
and local weather; with a nod to
the pretty faces who usually do
traffic.
In contrast, the national
news shows get clobbered, pretty regularly, by cable programming, streaming services and
the average American’s stated
distaste for national and international news. They tell the polls
they consider national news
shows irrelevant, irritating and
biased.
Fox’s national news has
figured out how to make some
money – but not by doing the
news in any broadcast journalism sense; they just do infomer-

cials for a laundry list of conservative causes.
Status Quo
The status quo that seems to
have precipitated everything happens to be Channel 6 (WPVI-TV)
way out front, followed by either 3
(KYW-TV) or 10 (WCAU-TV, the
NBC, now, Comcast, station).
So, if you are thinking that
all this is about a race to see who
gets to be Number 2, you would
be absolutely correct.
However, Number 2 does
get to charge local advertisers
more than Number 3. Other factors are at play, here, too:
Orr, May and Reece were
station fixtures; they made great
money and they commanded
fan-base attention.
KYW’s local news should
always be at least Number 2,
and arguably Number 1, because hardly anybody can even
remember when CBS programming didn’t dominate the Top 20
among network shows.
Ever since Comcast took
over (and this could be pure coincidence, too) NBC’s network
prime-time programming has
dramatically improved.
The one local station that
should always be dead last is
ABC, for the same reason –
namely, ABC wouldn’t know
what to with a new prime time hit.
Therein lies the mystery:
How can Jim Gardner and Action
News so completely dominate a
major market when their national programming is like an anchor
around their necks?
Last, but hardly least, count
on KYW-TV3 and its on-air talent to get a lot, lot younger faster
than you can say, “18-35 demographic.”

After Thousands of Words.
TV Anchor Out Over One.
Loses Case vs. Employer
The original event was
years ago involving the unmentionable “N” word – but it had its
ramifications recently, involving
a former area TV 29 (Fox) reporter and anchor.
The story begins over eight
years ago.
During a meeting of TV-29
news personnel, a reporter, Robin Taylor, told the editorial group
assembled of a symbolic burial
of the “N” word by the Philadelphia Council of the NAACP.
In attendance was fellow
news staffer Tom Burlington.
Burlington piped up: “Does this
mean we can finally say, “n-----?”
Whoa!
He was referred to sensitivity
training – and was fired July 12,
2007, after the aforementioned,
incident on June 23, 2007.
He fought the termination.
His case was heard in June
2015, in U.S. District Court.
And he Lost!.
The Jury was all-white. Their
deliberation was only three hours.
During his away-time from
TV-29, Burlington has a new career: welling real estate.

New Publisher at Phila. Business Journal
Lynn Kremer, veteran publisher of the Philadelphia Business
Journal, ( 400 Market St., Philadelphia, PA l9l06, 215-238-1450), has
retired.
For the past 23 years, she directed the media company, initiating additional collateral sources of
income to the firms standard ad revenue of its weekly newspaper.
They included awards – and
special sections – for “Women of
Distinction” & “Healthiest Employees.”
She also served as a board
member of the Philly Ad Club, and
Independence Visitors Center.
Lynn Kremer
Prior to joining PBJ, Kremer
was sales manager at Crain’s Chicago Business publication.
In an internet, open letter, upon
her retirement, she wrote she intended to stay in Philadelphia.
Her successor has been named.
He is Sandy Smith, former director of advertising for the Washington Business Journal for the
past three years.
The Philadelphia Business
Journal and The Washington Business Journal are both owned by
American City Business Journals.
The company operates 43 Business
Journals in across the country.
Money Spigots Flowing
Some Phila. Creative Firms
Awash in Water Dept. Contracts
The Philadelphia Water Department is
paying $63,000 for a logo!
The logo is two words, “Philadelphia Water”.
The former logo cost $250.
Plus, it was created by a student at an art
school.
The $63,000 logo is from the LevLane ad
firm, The Wanamaker Bldg., 100 Penn Square
East, Phila., PA l9l07, (215-825-9600), info@
levlane.com.
Note: The firm is across the street from City
Hall.
In a full-page news story in the Daily
News, Brian X. McCrone & Ryan Briggs reported
the $63,000 was only part of a $350,000 “rebranding “ contract paid to LevLane.
They further reported:
“Although the water department has an eightperson public relations team, it has shelled out more
than $600,000 in image consulting work to LevLane.”
A Bargain?
Another city office, The Department of Licenses and Inspections also gave a brand change contract to LevLane for $100,000.
For the logo portion, the agency “only” charged
$50,000.
LevLane’s only change on the existing logo,
according to the Daily News was replacement of
the ampersand. They took out the & and put in + (
from L & I to L+ I).
THE PHILADELPHIA REGIONAL BUSINESS/MARKETING MONTHLY
Back to the Water Department’s other contracts for design services.
They include, as McCrone & Briggs researched, the following:
… $150,000 to Louis Cook Design for assorted
“graphic design services.”
… $100,000 to the Blake & Baranick Design
Group Inc. for “Design and Communications” work.
… $100,000 to videographer GreenTreks Network, Inc. for a documentary about the Department’s green initiatives.
… $99,000 to Simon PR for “Media and Marketing.”
… $50,000 to Karen Friedman for “Media
Training.”
… $32,000 to Daniel Pohlig for “Messaging
and Blogging Services.”

MORE MUSING
There are observations and situations that sometimes make me wonder.
Examples:
…The older you get, the less you sleep through the
night without a bathroom call.
…Cereal boxes are never filled to the top…Soap bars
now evaporate more quickly, and the single sheets in the
toilet paper rolls are thinner.
…White collar criminals are too often lawyers.
(Oh, just noticed, the aforementioned follows the item
on toilet paper.)
…KYW (1060AM) has a commercial for Comcast, repeated often, that tells the virtues of the Comcast business internet services. Sounds good. Until the last sentence: “Not available in this area!”
…College students are paying $40,000/year, and
more, for a fair amount of information they can have from
their grandparents. Free!
…Cars have blind spots. So far, that has cost me a
driveway bush, and a mailbox.
…Pennies rusting on the ground. Am I the only person that picks them up?
…Seems like everyone gets some kind of money
dole from government, one way or another.
…Stores offer “Buy One. Get One Free.” Has the one
you’re paying for been doubled in price to allow for the
“free” one?
…You’re watching your favorite TV show, or sports
event, and at the most critical part of the show – the phone
rings. UGH! And if it’s a close family member, you have to
Joe Ball
pretend they have your full interest.
…When driving on a bridge over a body of water,
have you ever thought what would you do if your vehicle
somehow plunged in?
…Have you experienced within yourself a mental
clock, that upon going to bed, and wanting to get up at a
specific time…you do awaken at that time?
…The “little girls” voices on radio commercials sound
like adults squeezing their nose to give the impression of
a child.
…When a friend boosts of their using a new Internet
item, such as Bluetooth – and you have no idea, at all,
on what it is or how to use it – and then it breaks down…
…It feels so good!
…With major segments of
the populations, whenever they
may be, on cellphones, have you
wondered: “What are they talking about that is so important?”
Following is not
my last thought
My son Bob, the nationally respected surgeon, recently
asked me to send him written instructions, to be tucked away, on
how I want my last day handled.
I told him:
“I want my family at bedside
singing to me the Doris Day song:
“I’ll See You In My Dreams.”
And, I want to die of old age,
at 106 years – and then I want an
extension.”

Guide to Executive Living Presents
DINING OUT
Borgata’s Old Homestead
Steakhouse. Wow!
By Bonnie Squires
Old Homestead Executive Chef Romeo DiBona in the kitchen.
When you are ushered to
your table in the elegant Old
Homestead Steak House at the
Borgata Casino & Spa, 1 Borgata Way, Atlantic City, N.J.;
Tel.: 609-317-7160), you forget
that Atlantic City has been having economic problems for years
now. The restaurant is full. People are waiting for tables as well.
The Old Homestead, a New
York City institution, is one of the
country’s oldest steakhouses and
is known for serving the finest
steaks in the Big Apple for nearly
150 years.
With their second location in
Atlantic City, guests can experience
their trademarked domestically
raised, hand-massaged Kobe beef.
We reserved a Saturday
night table.
Our two servers, Lamia
Webb and Rafael Lopez, were
solicitous and delightful. Lamia
had spent seven years next door
as a wait-staff at Izakaya, and Rafael has been at Old Homestead
Steak House for twelve years.
Each of them is also enrolled
part-time in college classes, Lamia at Camden County’s dental
hygiene program, and Rafael at
ACCC and Stockton’s business
management programs.
Their main focus, as we experienced were their patrons.
You notice immediately the
“napkins” - which are actually tea
towels, and each one has four
words woven into the design:
Porterhouse, Sirloin, Filet Mignon
and Rib Eye.
Steaks are the signature
items, naturally.
You will be tempted to make
a meal out of the fabulous white
onion and cranberry walnut rolls,
but you must leave room for
appetizers, main courses and
dessert. Two of us shared the
wedge of iceberg lettuce with
choice of dressing ($12).
The lettuce was so fresh and
crisp that it seemed as if it must
have been plucked from fields
right outside the casino doors.
The “colossal crab meat
cocktail” ($23) made a big hit
with the other two of our party,
who were highly impressed with
the quality of the crab meat.
HUGE
RIB STEAK
Our male companion was
inquisitive enough to order “The
Gotham Rib Steak 34 OZ” ($56).
It could easily have fed not only
the three of us, but taken home
in a doggy bag to provide lunch
and dinner for family members
for a couple of days!
The steak was cooked to perfection. A petit filet mignon 10 oz.
which I had with hash brown demi
glaze ($48) was also pink in the
center, done on the outside, and
enough for at least two diners.
My girlfriend ordered the
Baby Rack of Lamb ($47). She
not only shared the lamb chops
but took home the rest in a doggy
bag. The “side offerings” at $13
each included delicious sweet potato mashed with roasted walnuts
and marshmallow, creamed spinach, and asparagus hollandaise.
We passed on the “Whale
Size Lobsters” at $25 a pound,
leaving that for our next slot-

winning visit.
But we were determined
to try the desserts as well, after
visiting the upstairs dining tables
and taking a peak at the Chef’s
Table private room on the main
floor. Executive Chef Romeo
DiBona can create a special
tasting menu for the table in the
private room, or he can whip up
some creative specialties for a
theme party.
All of the desserts sounded
tempting, but we decided on the
Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie
with vanilla ice cream, crushed
Health bar, chocolate sauce and
whipped cream. Rafael was kind
enough to bring us a dish of Ben
and Jerry’s cherry garcia and
chunky monkey ice cream on
the side. We miraculously found
room to demolish the desserts.
VARIETY
OF DINERS
Just across from us was a
table of ten handsome young
men, all New Yorkers, who were
staying at the Borgata after a golf
match earlier in the day. The Old
Homestead Steak House seems
to be a magnet as well for bachelor and bachelorette parties.
Brothers and owners Marc
and Greg Sherry believe in the
adage, “Don’t mess with a good
thing,” which is why the menu at
their steakhouse in Atlantic City
nearly mirrors the one in New
York. And for good reason: “We
haven’t had an empty seat in
quite a few years,” Greg reported.
