A couple of years ago, the Globe ran some critical stories about him, including that he did not live in Massachusetts and that he was happily married with children. He (on the air) took great issue with some things in the Globe stories but did not mention anything about how they were wrong about where he lived or his marital status.
I rarely listem to him anymore. He is supposed to be hosting a "talk show", but often you can tune in to the beginning of his show and he will bloviate and take no calls for 15 to 20 minutes, until he is forced to go to a station ID break/time check, or a commercial break. I really do not want to hear almost anyone go on and on for 20 minutes straight. He also seems to consider himself all knowing when it comes to 70s era hard rock and roll (and what music is cool and what is not), and lets his bumpers go on for way too long at times.

This page 6 excerpt from 7/17 may be what you were referring to:
JAY Severin has vanished from MSNBC's new "The Situation with Tucker Carlson." Sources say Severin, a conservative who hosts a radio talk show in Boston, didn't enjoy the commute from his home in Sag Harbor to the TV show's studio in New Jersey - especially when he saw how low Carlson's ratings were. Severin, who has a wife and young daughter, was also promised a state-of-the-art studio where he could do his radio show on the days when he was on TV, but MSNBC didn't deliver. Severin's departure leaves humorless Air America host Rachel Maddow as the breakout star on Carlson's daily panel.

Yes, that is the NY Post piece.

It seems that Scot Lehigh and Jay Severin have a history between them. Oftentimes, if I am listening to the radio midday, I will switch between Howie and Jay. I recall a few seismic verbal shots Jay lobbed towards him on a few occasions.

Jay's unique anti-Hillary observations are entertaining.
