I've just gotten used to listening to the various morning hosts who have passed by (the Divas, Peter Blute, Scott Allen Miller, dePetro, etc.) but I can't say I've ever heard Finneran except for the occasional stint last year. Since threats on Howie's life aren't unknown, WRKO shouldn't tolerate such "jokes".
Forget Finneran...with another election year coming up, it's time WRKO hire that fire-breather, Steve Malzberg!
BTW: WRKO's exemplary news broadcaster, Rod Fritz, is now heard at WFLA (Central-Florida area). I've heard Scott Allen Miller, but have forgotten where he went.
WRKO is bleeding talent (heck, the entire state of Massachusetts is bleeding talent), but it's Florida's gain.
Figured you would want to know.
The Scotto bloggo is still out there and he still may be living in the Boston area. The following is a post on
radio-info.com Boston board:
"Last week, the website universalhub.com ran a comment by Scott Allen Miller referring to the actual location of a J. J. Foley's pub. This indicates to me that Scott is still in the Boston area. Could it be that Entercom struck a deal with Miller that if he kept quiet about the Finneran hiring during Scott's last few weeks on WRKO, they'd pay him a stipend to hang around if the Finneran Forum didn't work out, clearing the way for Scott to return to WRKO in his old time slot?"
