Cryptic Mini #000000118: 

"Broadcast News for Animals"

difficulty level:
did iiii do that?

whoops! so i didn't upload a new puzz two weeks ago because, well, according to my publicist: "i just plain forgot" (i'm firing this publicist).

but i suppose we can call that a "soft launch" of the new policy around here: i'm only going to be uploading a new grid every 3-4 weeks now. i'm sorry to deprive you of your fix, but i just have too much other puzzle-stuffs going on, what with co-running Cryptic Crossweird, working on cryptics for other outlets, and making some non-cryptics too!

while i'm happy with all these things, it does mean the cryptic midi factory will be doing more downsizing. speaking of which, does anyone want to buy an industrial-grade anagrinder?

once again thanks tookey and Sandy Weisz for helping testsolve. Enjoy!
