Curtis & Kuby were #1 in the NYC area two years ago. They canned them and put that idiot Imus in their place. I’d love to know what his ratings are, he’s an old drug addled has been.
I’ve tried to listen but I just can’t.
My guess is the syndication cost for Imus isn’t as high as the local team.
The problem is that you can’t make enough money in a time slot to pay a guy a living salary. The only way to really make money in radio on talent is if you can syndicate them, or give them enough hours.
I’m waiting to see if they can syndicate Plante.
