yeah the gist of it from what I heard is that they moved into another air studio which used to belong to their sister sports station, WEEI. Howie groused that his reward for getting high ratings was to be put into a smaller studio, while the sports station, whose ratings are failing, get his.

Howie joked that there were Tom Brady posters on the walls,
“we’re number one” foam fingers lying around, and Sandy said, “I had to pick up a lot of chicken bones off the floor”.

Howie of course wanted to flee to Greater Media’s WTKK 2 yrs ago this month (would have debuted in late Sep, 2007)
but a judge said no. Entercom had the right to keep Howie for “the next 5 years” so by fall of 2012, as Howie puts it, his “sentence will be up”. Howie did mention supposedly there were more layoffs at WRKO—like the fax machine and i suppose some non-show people (ad people? or maybe people who do production) All WRKO has left on weekdays is 2 shows: Finneran & Feinburg and Howie, and their producers.

Howie mentioned that when he sends prizes out he has to address them himself, etc. Nobody around anymore to do that.
