he was on the same AM station as Howie Carr and Jim Braude/Mahhhgery Eagan (WRKO).
He was on RKO for less than a year, but was on WTKK from their debut in ‘99 to
maybe around ‘11..sometimes off for awhile.
Former WRKO and later KGO (San Fran)
host Gene Burns did a show on WOR in
NY for awhile.Contract squabble so Jay
filled in.Then Gene left and Gil Gross
got the show.
For a time had a show called Jay Severin
Has Issues across the country, a few months.
Admittedly he portrayed himself as a
swinging single, a “libertarian libertine”
but some knew he was married and had a
daughter.On his first “Has Issues” show a caller asked him how his wife and daughter
were doing.Jay haughtily said “I don’t
know what you’re talking about” and went
to the next caller.
He called out Boston Globe writers like Scot Lehigh (”Scat He-Lies”) on air.
Famed pic in Globe showed him being
yelled at by Imus at a Kiss Me I’m
Imus event.
