Yeah, Brian Maloney of RadioEqualizer and SaveWRKO.com was
right! Great move by the folks at ‘RKO; kind of like what would happen if Theo Epstein paid $100 million for a pitcher
who goes 2-15 with an 8.37 ERA, or a batter (same price)
who slugs a .125 average.
Maybe ‘RKO can bring in someone a bit more ethical, too,
like Billy Bulger (/ sarcasm)
Pinging everyone on the Howie list about this. Have you heard the Finneran promo where he slams Howie (he’s a fraud,
he’s a crybaby, etc.)? Well, Finneran, you’re a FAILURE
>>“Politicians do have an impact on radio. They make me turn it off,” said Michael Graham, a host on rival station WTKK (96.9 FM).
Though where Graham works would make a difference; if
Graham worked for ‘RKO, say, in the slot after Finneran,
that would have read, “He needs time to build his audience.
I think he has an interesting show and I love listening to it as I drove to ‘RKO in the morning...”
Hey Feinberg, how’s the lead-in ratings for ya? :)
Based on about five minutes of listening. Finneran speaks in a boring monotone and reflexively assuming a condescending attitude towards callers. He mistakes “listeners” for “taxpayers”. Sorry, Tommy, you can’t send the State Police to arrest people if they won’t listen to you and you can’t have your “Electoral Engineers” remove the competition from the dial.
Yeah, I've heard that one and the one where some Dem pol hack threatens to "take Howie for a ride" such that "three leave, two come back" because "these Staties (police) are good guys, they're not sayin' anything."
Not a little creepy. Not at all funny.
I haven’t gotten around to draggin myself up out of the bed to catch “The Felon”yet.
I miss WRKO in the morning - I used to listen 24/7 on the net or in the car when I’m in the eastern part of the state.
Now I’m listening to WCRN on the net - also WTIC 10:80 am out of Hartford, CT is very, very good in the morning. Jim Vicevich is excellent - he’s on from 10-noon.
Don’t listen to WTIC after 3pm - unless you like those Finneran-types.
