Rumors are swirling that Howie Carr is ready to return to WRKO. Carr’s spokesperson Nancy Sterling told me this morning that there’s been no change in the situation and that no announcement is forthcoming. But other sources suggest that some kind of resolution might be in the works. There’s some speculation that Carr might agree to return to WRKO in full force if the station waives the last 2 or 3 years from Carr’s 5-year contract.
There’s also speculation that Don Imus’ sidekick Bernard McGuirk may be headed to WRKO as well. I’m hearing that McGuirk landing his own show in Boston is a possibility, but a more likely scenario has McGuirk working sidekick to Don Imus on his new show in the short-term. McGuirk hosting his own show may materialize a year or so after that.
Ho hum, the saga continues...........where/when does it all end............
Well, Todd Feinberg has been making comments lately like I’ll probably be here tomorrow, if Howie’s not back.” But I didn’t know if it meant anything.
