In 2007 Todd filled in for Howie during a contract squabble.
Thank you for that reminder, FRiend. I never think of WPOP 1410 because it really doesn't come in very good at our house (if at all). We get WHYN 560 AM out of Springfield, Massachusetts loud and clear.
Todd Feinburg filled in for Howie in 2007? Interesting, I didn't know that.
Hi—yes, the WPOP signal may not
be the best for all.
In 2007 Howie attempted to jump
to WTKK 96.9 in Boston as his
Entercom contract was expiring.
His Boston station WRKO was owned by
Entercom.So Entercom tried to keep
Howie against his will citing contract
language. It was ruled he had to stay.
Had he been able to jump, he would have gone to morning drive. As this was going on, Entercom had Todd Feinburg fill in for him for several weeks or months.
Finally in 2014 Howie got ownership of
the show.WRKO didn’t want him so Howie’s Boston station was WMEX 1510 and WRKO put on Mike Siegel. 5 months later WRKO took Howie back as its
ratings suffered.
As of now iHeart owns WRKO (and WPOP).
The Boston FM talk station Howie tried to go to is now R&B music.
