Springer's Show Move Angers Locals
16 March 2009 5:05 AM, PDT

Residents in Connecticut are set to seek legal advice following the relocation of Jerry Springer's TV show to their area.

The Jerry Springer Show is currently filmed in Chicago, Illinois but will soon be moved to the Rich Forum Theater in Stamford.

But the proposed relocation has angered locals, who are concerned about the effect the tabloid talk show will have on the city.

Monsignor Stephen Digiovanni, of St. John's Catholic Church in Stamford, claims some of his parishioners are so concerned that he plans to talk to lawyers to see if the church can stop the move.

He tells the New York Post, "They didn't think this was the right place for it. I'm not very thrilled about it."

Digiovanni is also worried about the type of people who will be drawn to the area to appear on the show, adding, "Springer is making millions on other people's misery and stereotypes."

However, some locals are delighted by the move - because the town will benefit from a $3 million (£2.1 million) state investment in local infrastructure as a result of the show.

I can't say I blame them.

You would think in this economy they would be happy for any new enterprise coming to town. You know bringing jobs, investment, etc. Sounds like a good thing to me. (easy for me to say since Jerry isn't moving to my town!)

^ Hey, he was once a MAYOR in my state!! (But it was when I was a baby and at the opposite end of Ohio.)

It was indeed Cincy. He was sometimes referred to on WKRP!

Good point! And I wouldn't be surprised if he had some kind of connection with Mother Carlson too!

Good old Mama Carlson...and Hirsch!!

Hey, now I can finally see a live taping of this show and not have to travel far. NYC to Connecticut is nothing compared to going to Chicago.

I always wanted to see first-hand what goes on during this show and now I might get the chance to.

This trashy show is still on??????????????????? Some garbage you cant throw away I guess.

Actually from what I've seen Maury Powvich's show is even worse.
