"Finally, between you and me...RKO has finally been given the directive to hire some real Boston political talk talent. The suits at Entercom have decided to step-in and require the local RKO management to fix the broken "talk" station for 2008.
"Word from the Inside is that Rush will be replaced with local show and the early show will be replaced with 2 hosts from the Boston area. The weekend line-up is about to see sweeping changes in the months ahead.
"WRKO insiders are talking about re-branding as "The Talk Station" once again...new logos have been discussed the last couple months...keep the faith everyone...this time they will get it right."
Again just a rumor at this point but who knows! Note: if Rush were to leave WRKO, who would pick him up? Possibly WTTT 1150 (WTKK has no room in their lineup) or: for years rumor had it Clear Channel would make WKOX 1200 into a conservative talk station (it was Air America, and has been "Rumba" Spanish for the past year... signal due to be upgraded soon...and Clear Channel's syndication arm is Premiere, which does Rush/ Coast to Coast/ Glenn Beck, etc.)
