A few weeks ago, when the plan to kill Putin during his Tehran visit was uncovered, Dennis said [paraphrasing]: “I can’t believe that Ahmadinejad would do such a thing because, as we all know, he got rid of all the book depositories, so there would be nowhere for the gunman to hide, hence, the plan to kill Putin must be a hoax”.
(This is, of course, in part to the fact that Mahmoud has banned all books from the country, unless approved by the regime.)
THAT DENNIS!
Grandy and Andy are one of the highest-rated shows in the Washington Metro area.
I like Dennis a lot more than Sean.
I contacted the station, and received the following reply:
Thanks for your feedback. The Grandy and Andy Morning Show is one of the top-rated programs in Washington and there are NO plans to replace them with Don Imus.
Thanks for your support and thanks for listening to 630 WMAL.
Best regards.

So I’m guessing no. They’ve always been pretty straight, even when they did stupid things like firing Graham.
Now, I also asked about Chris, and he didn’t say anything about that. I’m not sure if I asked “prominently” enough, it was like an aside at the end of my note, so I don’t know if he simply didn’t notice it, or if he did.
If he saw that part of my question, this answer would suggest they might be thinking about replacing Chris. I would be surprised if they did though.
I’ll be done with WMAL if they go this route. They already screwed up bad when they fired Michael Graham for pissing of CAIR.
I really don’t think that they will be replacing Core. His show is very interesting, and above all, local.
Today Jerry Klein (the pet liberal at 630 WMAL) royally pissed me off. He stated that we should all pay more taxes in order to help our veterans (whom I respect fully), of whom 25% are homeless. Like we’re not getting taxed enough, especially with the new massive tax hike, which passsed the Md. legislature last night! I wrote him an e-mail:
“You are crazy, Jerry...
I live in Maryland... the massive tax increase bill just passed last night... what kind of money is my f*cking husband going to bring home for us to get fed if he is to pay a tax for our vets? My husband is a vet himself and he grew up in poverty in the Puerto Rico western countryside... he came to DC almost 23 years ago, leaving behind his loved ones, to become a DC cop, which he still is to this day...
We pay for illegals to use our services, we pay for some people from cradle to grave for improvements to their lives — now you want to tax us more for vets to get services? Take all that money being used to deliver anchor babies and the monies that illegals are sending back to their home countries — tax THEIR asses and use that money for vet services...
Silvie in Waldorf”
Wow! You really told him, Silvie! Good job!
If Grandy and Andy are replaced, I won't have a reason to listen to WMAL. The line-up starts with them. By habit, once my dial is set to a radio station, I stay there ALL DAY. WMAL is on whenever we're not at work until 10 pm when the format gets really wierd and the radio gets turned off.
Same here, Ever...
I’m with you. Didn’t listen for a long time after the Graham affair. This would be the last straw. I can get most of their shows that I DO like from other sources.
It’s hard to think or fathom that Grandy & Andy would be replaced by Imus. It would be such an illogical misstep. There are so many of us who love G&A and the format now, that, why would anyone mess with that? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
I always hear stuff that radio station decisions are made based on “statistical” or “scientific” data, “input” and other terminology like that. That’s such hogwash.
And, seriously — if WMAL messes with G&A, I will not listen anymore and I will shut down my Chris Plante Discussion Forum. I would hate the fact that our beloved Chris would pay the price, but c’est la vie. I’m a very engaged and big fan of WMAL and I always give them my input/opinion on matters, but if I’m not taken seriously, then off I go. I can sense if and when I’m not welcome somewhere. I’ll find Levin online.
And — I’M ACTUALLY LOSING SLEEP OVER THIS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!? That’s how much I love G&A!
Well said!
