* 630 WMAL Ping List *
(Yes, I know this does not include ‘pings’ on Pet Liberal Jerry Klein, but hey, I thought we’d give him a shot on progressive talk tadio and see how he does there).
Jerry will be leaving 630 WMAL at the end of this week.
Hi Silvie
Wanted to say how sorry I was to see Chris Plante gone. Did you know beforehand? Did HE know beforehand?
Thought he was on the WMAL cruise or some other station promotion.
Do you know where he’s headed?
Silvie, can you add me to the WMAL ping list?
Plante is gone? I can't believe it. He's the best. I remember thinking a couple of times, though, that his high degree of passion was going to get him into trouble. Sometimes he just wasn't able to pull back, which is part of what I loved about him. I also remember cringing when he told a Michael Jackson joke a month or two ago (Question: What's Michael Jackson's favorite song? Answer: "Forever Blowing Bubbles") I thought it was funny as hell, but I figured the brass at WMAL wasn't going to like it much. What a shame he's gone. Austin Hill doesn't do much for me, so it may be music from now on during my morning drives.
Maybe we will be lucky and JK will make a mistake and have Chris Plante on for an hour daily.
Chris could beat him up as he used to do on Sunday afternoons.
:-)
