Why have a hamster? To have a pointed story about giving mouth-to-mouth to a rodent to assuage traumatized offspring, of course.
Finneran, Reese, and Russshhhhhhhhhh aren’t doing well for RKO. The shows place 25th and 26th
while WTKK came in 9th with Imus and 8th with Graham and Eagan and Braude
Some wondered if Finneran’s ratings would suffer if he had Howie on WTKK opposite him. But he’s actually being beaten by a whole bunch of other stations (including the man Howie calls “the corpse in a cowboy hat”)
even with Howie safely in the afternoon WRKO lineup rather than at WTKK (no word from Herald on
what HC’s ratings were)
If WRKO were a station running all syndie in those time slots (say, Air America, Jones, or Salem shows)
those numbers would probably lead to a change of hosts, maybe even a format change.
Instead RKO gets them with six hours of local and three of the #1 talk host nationwide. What gives,
Entercom?
