As you know, WRKO-AM (680) honchos are looking into whether Tom Finneran’s new lobbying gig will “negatively” impact his role as the news talk station’s morning-drive host.

Julie Kahn, vice president of WRKO owner Entercom, told me today that she and Finneran are having “productive” conversations and she should have a resolution and anouncement next week.

Here’s a lively exchange between Finneran and weekly contributor Wendy Murphy on the former House Speaker’s show earlier today (Thursday).

Murphy: “By the way, I was surprised to see you here, I thought, oh I don’t know, you might be gone.”

Finneran: “Please. Don’t even joke around. You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Murphy: “The word is out. You’re trying to make a fortune elsewhere.”

Finneran: “Here’s the word to pay attention to. Multi-year contract. Ok, pal? Pay attention to that.”

Whoa! First off, I'm glad Howie has come out publicly and made a HUGE statement about this, as of late he's been making little comments here and there on air without actually mentioning any names, secondly let me preface this by saying I cannot stand wendy murphy...however, the exchange between murphy and the felon is very disrespectul on his part. I can only imagine what tone he used.

Murphy: “The word is out. You’re trying to make a fortune elsewhere.” Finneran: “Here’s the word to pay attention to. Multi-year contract. Ok, pal? Pay attention to that.”
