I'm going to ping the Howie list on this one because of what it says at the end...

Howie Carr list ping for this part:
Entercom also owns WRKO (680 AM), which will lose afternoon-drive talk king Howie Carr on Sept. 19. Carr, also a Herald columnist, quit because Entercom wanted to cut his pay by more than $50,000, a station source said.
Entercom is suing Carr to stop him from taking over the morning drive slot at rival WTKK (96.9 FM) once occupied by Don Imus. In what could be a precedent-setting case for Boston on-air talent, Carr is suing WRKO over provisions in his current contract he argues unlawfully prevent him from jumping to a competing station.

Gee, who am I to root for here? I just love it when the spoiled ones turn on their paymasters and are convinced they deserve a lot more because of their supposed popularity.

Jason Wolfe and Julie Kahn are idiots. This is just more of the same kind of ineptitude that cost them Howie. This also smacks of personal and political vendetta. Entercom knows that D&C take the Jimmy Fund marathon very seriously. It’s really the only time Callahan drops his harda** demeanor. I also love the “unnamed source” quoting about how Kahn stood by them. In both cases she turtled to the PC crowd. The ratings have always been too good to fire these two. As an extra insult, they replaced them with the odious Craig Mustard!
