Statement on Howie Carr [View]
Wednesday, November 5, 2014
To All Members of The WRKO Listening Family:
I'm sad to report our good friend and colleague Howie Carr was injured today in an auto accident. Those of us who know, love and respect Howie and his work recognize what an important day Tuesday was for him and why he toiled through the night to compose his columns and prepare for the post-election radio show today. The Republican surge that swept across America was something Howie predicted and so urgently wanted to share with each of you on the air throughout the week. However, as a precaution, Howie will remain off the air and under observation to ensure a full recovery with no complications.
At this time, I ask all of our great WRKO listeners to keep Howie and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Respectfully,
Phil Zachary Vice President/Market Manager Entercom Boston
Prayers that he recovers.
rr, do you know any more?
Bummer,love the guy,best wishes
Tuned in late and wondered why Sandy was hosting the show. He would have been in high gear today...get well Howie.
Howie’s got a lot of enemies who are harboring a lot of butt hurt rage right now. The Winter Hill gang wanted to off him with a basketball bomb back in the day. I hope this is nothing like that.
Breitbarted?
@bostonradio tweeted he totalled
his car leaving the Herald..chest pains..
But someone else tweeted they heard
he’s OK. Supposedly at MGH for observation
After an hr Mike Siegel was on. He has
filled in for him before and used to fill
in for Jerry Williams too
Keeps us posted raccoon. You always seem to have the inside track on all things radio in Boston.
Sounds like a concussion.
Get well, Howie.
Tweets by Maria Stephanos asking
for prayers, she said Sandy says he’s
Ok.
Ch 4 just reported...they said unknown
when he returns to air.
I didn’t know Howie had an accident. I texted the show kidding about the reason he wasn’t there was because Scott Brown didn’t win NH and he was afraid of the drubbing he would have gotten from the NH listeners who said they wouldn’t vote for Brown.
Sandy said he had a personal problem to take care of. A car accident can’t be anymore of a “personal problem”
Get well Howie. We love you!
Prayers are up!
@MariaStephanos
Well got to remember that Howie wrote that book about Whitey Bulger. He was threatened by him.
His replacement on the show only said Howie is off tonight and will be back tomorrow night.
Those are my sentiments, too. Get well soon, Howie.
Mark said Howie had a car accident and Mark did not know his condition, but didn't think it was too serious, and that Howie was in the hospital.
tho that looks more like a kitchen
