Taking Imus’ old station and slot and contributing to the destruction of Tommy Finnerian. Sweet.

One wonders about his loyality, though. WRKO/WHDH made him what he is. They must really be difficult to work with (and stoopid, hiring Finnerian and losing Carr is the daily double) if it got this far.

I remember during the court proceedings with Finneran... Carr made it his business to be there and he noticed that 'Tommy' was reading Winston Churchill's, 'The American Civil War'. It's a very modest piece of work compared to Churchill's other efforts... and more suited for a young reader... or a foreigner wishing to get a quick overview of the conflict.

I think that confirmed to Carr that there wasn't much to Tommy Finneran.

Howie doesn’t owe any loyalty to the likes of Julie and Jason.

Hasn't WRKO been sold a number of times during Carr's tenure?

And, if you believe all the stuff coming out about WRKO's management, they are trying to eliminate any and all non-liberal, non-democrat, anti-corruption voices at the station.

For WRKO to hire Finneran, an untried radio personality, and newly convicted felon, to a multi-year contract that supposedly killed the budget for a local news staff, is beyond business sense.

And letting both Carr and Finneran take swipes at each other couldn't have pleased the advertisers. Or sales people.

And Julie Kahn comes from sales?

Where'd Wolfe intern at? At CBS under Les "Let's drive away our most profitable radio talent, and while we're at it, let's see how fast we can kill off the news division at the largest possible expense" Moonves?
