Thursday, March 5, 2009 was "Blue Thursday," a special day created and promoted by Dom Giordano and The Big Talker 1210, WPHT. Dom asked his listening audience from all over the Delaware Valley to show their support for police officers who are increasingly under fire from armed criminals on our streets. Listeners showed thier support by wearing blue, decorating thier cars, homes, or place of business with blue ribbons, and encouraged everyone they know to do the same and show support for police officers throughout the region. Several Philadelphia landmarks pledged their support by turning their lights to blue on that eveing including: Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Boathouse Row, Cira Center and Liberty One. Dom Giordano hosted a special live broadcast from Geno's Steaks from 6 PM to 12 Midnight with array of special guests to discuss and analyze the reasons for the recent rash of police killings in Philadelphia and ways to reduce gun violence and make our streets safer.
