The AFP on WREL: Heating up on the hardwood
AFP editor Chris Graham talks sports on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
The segment begins with analysis of Virginia Tech’s recent basketball hot streak. Will it be enough to get the Hokies into the discussion for an NCAA Tournament bid? Chris thinks so.
Then we turn to the state’s other ACC team. Virginia’s season seems to be in the tank after a stretch of five losses in six games. What can Tony Bennett do to get things turned around?
A quick glimpse at the local high-school hoops scene wraps us up.
The AFP on WREL: Snow and politics
AFP editor Chris Graham talks Virginia news and politics on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
The segment begins with … snow. Chris, for one, has had enough of it, though schoolkids aren’t seeming to mind the unexpected days off. Administrators will come SOL time this spring, Chris points out.
The conversation then turns to politics. The 2011 General Assembly session is nearing its midway point. Chris takes us through some of the hot-button issues before predicting a quiet end to the session as legislators prepare their re-election bids for the fall.
The AFP on WREL: Around the ACC
AFP editor Chris Graham talks sports on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
This week’s segment begins with a look at Virginia Tech and Virginia as they work their way through the ACC. Chris thinks the Hokies might be getting back on track, though Jim says the pressure is on with the conference likely to get only three or at the most four teams into the NCAA Tournament.
The Cavs have had an up-and-down season, but last weekend’s win over Georgia Tech could be something to build on as the midway point of the ACC season nears.
A quick glance at JMU and the local high-school basketball scene wraps us up.

The AFP on WREL: Deep inside Virginia politics
AFP editor Chris Graham talks news and Virginia politics on WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
The segment begins with discussion of the ongoing 2011 Virginia General Assembly session, which Chris said will be short for a reason – this is election year for all 140 members of the state legislature, and the guys and gals want to wrap their business in Richmond as quickly as possible and get back home to run for re-election.
Talk about Bob McDonnell’s transportation plans and Barack Obama’s surge in popularity in the polls wraps us up.
The AFP on WREL: Budget season
AFP editor Chris Graham talks news and politics with WREL’s “Online with Jim Bresnahan.”
Gov. Bob McDonnell got the 2011 Virginia General Assembly rolling with his State of the Commonwealth address Wednesday. McDonnell seems to be trying to put his imprint on this second legislative session as governor after an uneventful first year in office, according to Chris.
In other news, Chris talks about the continued growth in state revenues evidenced in the strong December numbers and what that means for the state economic situation.
