Mr Viglione has publicly announced in the People's Forum of Medford City Council chambers that his was the only RFP received for running Medford's Public Access station. He has publicly stated that he has many qualifications. This publication will be examining his claims under the microscope of Public Inspection on his bid to operate a PUBLIC Access station.
With merely an initial Google search, we here at Medford Information Central have found the following Rip-Off Report entry filed against Mr. Viglione for not living up to his business promises. Here is the link to this report:
Report: #653390
Although we see later posts and rebuttals between Mr Viglione and apparent TV3 Medford participants, we ALSO SEE that the initial complaint was not leveled by any individual at TV3. This complaint states:
For over 30 years this "music producer", promoter, publicist, promises the moon but only takes your cash. When you realized that he is not going to what he says he can do and back out of working with him, you are $$$ in the hole with nothing to show for it. Then he threatens to sue you. There are a trail of bodies under his wheels in the Boston, MA, area. Beware. (end of filed report)
How & why someone (someones?) at TV3 added to this report is a mystery whose answer is not evident from reading the lengthy, boring and repetitive back-and-forth crossposts between the individual & Mr Viglione. The individual appears to be posting the text of actual court documents; giving the docket numbers + such to allow for verification if the reader so desires (this reader did not desire to do so). Mr Viglione's responses seem to be merely statements (repeated in post after post) alleging to be from different court documents but without stating docket numbers or any other references to allow for an interested reader (do any actually exist?) to verify or refute their accuracy.
Buf if one is to just stick to the original complaint, I am confident you will see evidence of the kind of stated behavior the report alleges to be in evidence from Mr Viglione's repeated City Council Meeting orations. Is this the type of Business Medford wants to run their Public Access Station. I think not.
But what do YOU think?
Inquiring minds want to know. Please post your thoughts in our "comments" section below.
Next up: We will be looking at the requirements for submitting the RFP and on how well Mr Viglione complied with these requirements.
Do stay tuned.
Hey - did you see the latest "SCANDAL" Mr Viglione posted to that "other" Medford blog? Well of course in reality it is NO SCANDAL AT ALL, but take a moment to read it... Here's the link to it (we never mind giving his blog the extra hits - that's all Mr V lives for)

What is particularly amusing is that while Mr Viglione continually bashes Medford and it's Mayor, he praises Malden and it's mayor, even though the Mayor of Malden made and signed the very same endorsement. Joe even provides the link to a page revealing this fact in another of his blog posts. Here is that link;

And here is the list of the Massachusetts mayors who signed.

Gary Christenson Malden Massachusetts mayor@cityofmalden.org (781) 397-7000

Daniel Rizzo Revere Massachusetts revere_mayor@revere.org (781) 286-8111
See what I mean? Looks like you've been caught with your pants down Joe.
Your lies have been outed again, Joe
NO WONDER people call Joe "Mr FIBlione"!
Poor Joe; you are rapidly losing people to fight with. You are rapidly losing "causes" to fight for. But don't feel sorry for him, anyone... for Mr Fiblione has taken to verbally attacking anyone and everyone he has ever known, it seems.
Today his blog has been filled with attacks and tirades against every person and on every subject he can think of. Where will it all end? We here at Medford-Information-Central predict it will be with a complete mental breakdown on his part.
We sincerely hope we are wrong, but we fear we are not.
And all this when there are actual news stories he could be reporting on.
Stick a fork in the old medfordinformationcentral; it's overdone!
SHEESH!!! Joe Viglione's Medfordinformationcentral blog at last comes out with the "better never than late" information that Mayor McGlynn will be retiring this year and will NOT be seeking re-election.
We came back from a nice dinner out and find that the news finally reached your ears, ran down through your typing fingers onto the keyboard, and posted the "news" (a little late to be calling your announcement "news" isn't it?) on your blog.
Gee, Joe... your ersatz "news blog" was the LAST source in Medford for this information, not the first; Central or otherwise. Better turn in your pencil and notepad Joe; you're all washed up as a "get-out-the-word-first" reporter. Turn in your press ID. Oh wait... you don't HAVE one - not even the "PRESS" knob from the Men's washroom like the Three Stooges used when THEY faked being reporters to sneak into the ballgame free. Guess you can't worm your way into press conferences anymore, pretending that your hate blog is actually news! No CREDIBLE news source would be almost FIVE HOURS LATE with a hot, important news story like this one. C'mon... FIVE HOURS? That's a full night's sleep for some people, Joe.
I guess now you'll have to re-christen your blog "Medford Information Central - Asleep on the Job"
There you have it, readers... OUR Medford-Information-Central outs another phony!
Who will we out next? Keep reading to find out!
NOW IT CAN BE TOLD
Well we sat on this story for a week... until we received our phone call early this morning giving us permission to release the story.
The Honorable Michael J McGlynn will NOT seek re-election this year; choosing to retire instead. But he will not be retiring without leaving his work unfinished. Now you know why he finally put in place the solution to Medford's on-street parking problems at the end of last year. The "Mighty Mike" still has a few more loose ends to tie up, but promises to have it all accomplished by the end of his term on Dec 31, 2015.
We here at Medford-Information-Central are mighty proud to be the FIRST to break this very important news story... so much for that OTHER Medford Information Central and all their non-scoop scoops. No doubt they will be in the emergency room tomorrow with a sprained arm from patting themselves on the back, falsely claiming they had something to do with the Mayor's decision (as if he's important or powerful enough to be of any kind of threat to Mike). HAH! What he should REALLY be doing is wondering if he is perhaps one of the "loose ends" that the Mayor wants to "tie up" before year's end. And what about the perpetually-innefectual Bob Penta? The only way he can ever get re-elected to the City Council is to "create" a non-existent enemy to fight to show the good people of Medford he's actually working in THEIR best interests rather than his own selfish concerns. With no Mayor Mike to fight and no Medford Community Cablevision to fight, how on Earth can Mr Penta possibly keep his job?
Well Bob, it's time to put up or shut up. Are you FINALLY going to take a stab at it and run for Mayor? Or are you going to remain a coward and run for your City Council seat again? Of course there's NO WAY you'll be re-elected if you rerun; you'll be outing yourself as the great big liar that many of us already know you actually are!
Wow! It's HUGE.... you won't believe how unbelievably believable this story is. It's WAAAAAY bigger than a fat man's ass... and ONLY we could have broken the story and possibly future-reported it here. Gadzooks! We really mean it - we're going to do it; we really are...
Only one man in Medford is the right man for the job.
Vote Mike McGlynn in 2015!!!!!

DOCTOR RABIES IS BACK ON PUBLIC ACCESS TV IN MEDFORD!!!!
Yes fans... IT IS TRUE..... Doctor Rabies' Mad Movies Experimentorium can once more be seen on Medford, Massachusetts TV sets. At least those Medford residents with Verizon cable services can see him. Just tune in to the Malden Ma public access channel on Monday nights during prime time and you will see the dearly beloved Doctor Rabies back on your TV sets. He sometimes may also appear on Friday nights as well, during part of a rotating line-up, but Monday is his designated spot.
Remember, this is ONLY for those Medford households with VERIZON cable services.
Is there any better reason to drop Comcast and switch to Verizon?
I think not...
McGlynn. Can. Be. Trusted!!!
If Mayor McGlynn doesn't give us Public Access Television.....
it's beacuse we have shown him that we are too lazy and selfish to bother to put any type of active participation into it (that means we just want to WATCH it and bitch about it; we are not willing to get up off our asses and MAKE it for free... like the MEMBERS OF ALL OTHER ACCESS STATIONS do.
