Inqlings: An extra for Eagles listeners

CBS Radio's decision to broadcast Eagles games on WIP (610), in addition to flagship WYSP (94.1), will have a neat side effect for those who also watch on digital, cable or satellite TV.

CBS Radio's decision to broadcast Eagles games on WIP (610), in addition to flagship WYSP (94.1), will have a neat side effect for those who also watch on digital, cable or satellite TV.

Under CBS's plan, one station (to be determined) will broadcast on a delay so that Merrill Reese and Mike Quick's play-by-play will sync with the digital picture.

The other station will air the game in real time, a boon to those who want their action eight seconds sooner.

Each station will have its own pregame and postgame shows.

In a related move, the Eagles and CBS signed a multiyear renewal. The length was not disclosed, but a source said it was at least five years.

Briefly noted

Chef

David Katz

says the restaurant he was putting together with investor

Andrew Krouk

at 24th and Locust Streets is a no-go. Krouk, who also owns the building occupied by the popular nearby BYOB Melograno, had won a hearing to transfer a liquor license into the space. Katz says that after additional neighborhood objections arose, the two decided not to proceed. Meanwhile, Sandy's Lunch remains open for business at 24th and Locust.

An "INQlings" item on Feb. 10 reported on the sale and two-week closure of Pileggi Boutique, near Washington Square, as founder Joan Pileggi left the business. The item also said Pileggi had previously sold the two salons that also carry her name. The salons were not associated with the boutique's sale and are open for business.

Fox29's Kerri-Lee Halkett is helping colleague John Bolaris meet women. At Philadelphia Magazine's "Philly Cooks" event Tuesday night, Bolaris was spotted pecking Halkett on the cheek.
