This Sunday’s On the Record, the next to last show of the series, will feature a conversation with potential Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe. In the other segment, Host Joel Rubin will be joined by former ODU president, economist Jim Koch. They will discuss the auto bailout and other fiscal issues. The show will air at noon on WVEC, channel 13.
The pending demise of OTR has people all over the state in an uproar. As Bob Gibson explains, a Facebook group has been started.
No sooner had a Facebook group been formed to preserve such programming than more than 100 people joined to pitch in.
The Facebook group, named “Save public service television programming in Virginia,“ has mobilized support for Rubin’s program across the state.
Mathews County School Board member Jen Little joined the group and started building additional support, saying the show’s demise was “really sad. On the Record is one of the very few programs that provide a local perspective on politics.“
If, like me, you are not a member of Facebook, you can contact station management and share your views about retaining the show. You can also write a letter to the editor of The Virginian Pilot and let others know about this.

Hey Vivian,
How come you have yet to respond to Tom Moss running for a 3rd term? When do you plan on announcing that you will not be running? Also, now that Anthony Burfoot is in there now, looks like he will be the apparent heir to the office and NOT you!!
Hey, “Mike”. Who are you?
