maybe you’re right!
in today’s Globe:
http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2007/10/17/judge_carr_has_to_stay_at_wrko/
they talk about yesterday’s decision and also say that Howie may have to pay back some damages
(lost ad money?—WRKO couldn’t say exactly how many sponsors have fled WRKO with Howie off
air/poss. moving)
and I had to laugh:
>>”Talk radio is a different animal,” Fishkin said. A host disgruntled with the station “might make for good radio. It’s about getting the viewer interested
Viewer? It’s radio, pal Smiley
And:
>>in the world of talk radio, WRKO could see its ratings jump if Carr liberally criticized that station while on the air.
Funny to see “liberal” and Carr in same sentence!
My Father said Carr was once a ‘liberal’
But seriously, if he criticized WRKO when on it, it would be HUGE [something he may not want to do, therefore]
But
You’d have the under-30 crowd tuning in in droves.
Todd’s OK but he does tend to ‘drone-on’ and doesn’t get the mass of great callers we were used to with Howie.
