The “Death Pool” has begun as to when WRKO will not “be down for breakfast.”
Entercom’s chief honcho is scheduled to be in Boston next week to begin the shutdown process of WRKO.
Where does that send the Right-Wing Cabal of the roster of vomitus vipers?
Look for the ‘Sin’dicated druggy 60 year old Rushbo to go to the new WKOX.
As to 58 year old Felon Finneran and 50 something Todd “I am not a Jew” Feinberg, they will be gone, baby gone.
58 year old Howie Carr is a WTKK wanabee. He may push the 48 year old Jay Severin out the door. Severin whose program is a ratings disaster is on the edge unless they bounce the Bitchy 36 year old Michelle McPhee with the white-trash voice to overnight and put Severin opposite WBZ Radio’s Dan Rea. Rea is a real prix. Part of the extreme Right Wing youth group, YAF, Young Americans For Freedom in the 1960’s the 64 year old Dan Rea is beginning to show his real extreme right wing colors.

Who cares if Dan Rea is 64? What are you suggesting with that comment? And have you actually listened to his program or are you just parroting what you’ve read somewhere else? I’ve listened to it from time to time, and he comes across mostly as a centrist. I think he’s fair. He’s also known for a passion for justice, see this one from the Phoenix:

<
p>Rea was one of the reporters beating the drum for the four guys framed for murder by the Boston FBI. Remember that sordid tale? The guy did yeoman’s duty for decades trying to get justice for them.
<
p>And why define Michelle McPhee is what is clearly time-honored, mysogynistic terms, when there are so many other things to criticize? Do you not have a good thesaurus? Here’s a link:

say the check is in the mail.
You follow orders well.
<
p>As to Rea’s age – just using a time honored jounalistic tradition of mentioning a person’s age in an article.
Do you have something against the fact that Dan Rea is 64?
You mention it as a negative. Perhaps, as in other cultures it gives him wisdom. His YAF’er past is record of his established political bent.
<
p>McPhee – well she is a stereotype isn’t she. Too easy a target. Who knows she could be the Rielle Hunter to Cosmo Boy, Scotty Brown (R) Centerfold.

Barely a Democrat. Not a decent human being.

Seem like more emphasis than simple journalistic identification if you ask me.
david-whelan says
Change the station.
atticus says
is doing that for everyone.
Do you like the sound of white noise in Spanish?
That’s 680’s upcoming new format.
david-whelan says
change the channel
atticus says
Have Channels.
They have dial positions.

p>Again, WRKO’s days are numbered.

Get on the stick and find another job.
I am sure that many in the Third Reich felt the same way when they lost the war.
To victors go the spoils
To the losers the guillotine or at leat the unemployment line.

have you ever listened to the Jimmy Myers show? OH MY GOD! What an imbecile! I know Howie gets trashed on this blog regularly and Graham and Jay get bashed as well, but Jimmy MYers if so stupid… AND he thinks he’s a genius. Try to listen to a portion of his show on Sunday since you’ll never make it through an entire show. He’s moronic and I feel like his guests are cringing when he’s having a dialogue with them.
<
p>I like WTKK, even Jim and Margery, but having Myers show plunge off the air will be a giant improvement for all radio listeners.

visits and posts on this blog regularly. Not that I have proof, it’s just a hunch. The tone, phrasing and vernacular of two posters in particular seem very Carr-like to me. What do you think, Atticus?
atticus says
Is posting from Palm Beach at his vacation retreat with the other s’wells.
Funny how he went on vacation when the Entercom Honcho was coming to town.
As to who is posting,Carr has his henchmen out there: Could be NANCY SHACK who is Howie’s producer but goes by the on-air name “SANDY” or it could be Doug Goudy aka “VB” a moniker Carr gave to him “VIRGIN BOY” hinting that Goudy was Gay when he engineered Carr’s show. He isn’t by the way, not that there is anything wrong with being gay.
<
p>So, the sound-like-Carr posts could be from Carr or his Pals.
<
p>But Howie’s act is wearing thin. As he once said about Jerry Williams ‘ father time is catching up with him.
cadmium says
— I think her name was Kristen Graham. She produced his show in the early days. Had a good sense of humor. There are a couple radio insiders who used to post here who probably .know. I think it was an ugly episode.
atticus says
Maybe “Submit” aka Cathy Carr [ Howie Carr wife Number 2]
made Howard get rid of her.. đŸ˜‰
cadmium says
accelerate their right wing drift. It is very obvious when they lead newscasts with Dan Rea promos that bash dems — leading to an impression that they are part of the news.

p>Question: Do you know if WBZ’s Don Huff is related to Scott Brown’s wife Gail Huff?
johnd says
atticus says
For the advertising dollars it hopes to get by becoming a Right-Wing [8-12M] talker.
YAF’er Danny Rea is about as moderate as Cheney,Dick.
<
p>If you really want intelligent talk radio, by pass WBZ and the white trash Michelle McPhee on ‘TKK and whatever low life, aka Michael Wiener, on RKO and get the live streaming of Gene Burns on KGO in San Francisco which starts about 10PM Eastern Time here – 7 Pacific.
Gene is every bit as good as he was when he was here in Boston in the 80’s and 90’s “Transiting The Meridian.”
cadmium says
“remember when”. That was a pretty good line up of talent that RKO had briefly in the early 80’s Burns–> Williams–>Brudnoy.
<
p>RKO is so useless now that it even bores the Right Wingers
<
p>Nice to hear that Gene Burns still has it in him. I dont I guess! -10pm now is late for me although I will give it a shot some time.
lasthorseman says
That would be dumbing down.
I do so sense another useless planned and designed Overton window shift right though.
atticus says
David Field is coming to WRKO tomorrow with hatchet in hand.
<
p>Expect many heads to roll – Finneran, Feinburg et al.
<
p>Howie Carr off to WTKK ? ? ?
