Daily Record mentioned in “The Wire” premiere

January 7, 2008

Did anyone catch the mentions of The Daily Record in the season premiere of “The Wire” last night?

In the episode, “More With Less,” fictional city desk editor Gus Haynes asks a colleague at The Sun about a wire story on city bus line cutbacks. He hears that the story was “broken by The Daily Record” and is disappointed in the lost opportunity. Later, at an editors meeting, the staff downplay the story’s importance and blame the missed story on staff buyouts that left the paper without a transportation reporter.

Self-promotion aside, what did you think of the episode?

If you missed it, it’ll air multiple times later this week on HBO.
