Hi Dave --

For IP if appropriate:

If anyone is near a TV this afternoon, I'm doing an interview on CNN
at 3:30 p.m. for a story about a Philadelphia local news anchor who
was caught hacking into the e-mail of a workplace rival -- his
younger, higher-paid co-anchor -- but not before he leaked enough of
her e-mails to reporters to get her fired (her own use of her company
e-mail was pretty salacious). It's an interesting case.

There's more here about the case at the following links:

affiliate's own coverage, with links to court documents)
