You could not be more wrong, Finneran is a convicted felon, convicted of lying to a grand jury... sound familiar? Anyway, what does WRKO do, they hired this sleaze bag to become their spokesman for the prime time morning commute!
This guy lies under oath and what does WRKO do? They rewarded this creep to pontificate morality and politics on the issues of the day. Needless to say, I have been an avid WRKO listener for well over a decade and after firing off numerous e-mails to the station, I and my family have quit listening (I now pick up Howie on the free internet feed and staunchly refuse to listen to WRKO or purchase ANYTHING from ANY of the sponsors of Tom Finneran's broadcast. I will continue to do this unless and until, they fire this sleazy guy.
This is NOT good for box office, OR for ratings; it sends ALL the wrong messages; break the law and you are viewed as somone important whose views and opinions people should listen to. On top of that we will give you your own talk show and PAY you to give us your views on the law, morality, the issues of the day and politics to thousands of your listeners....
No thank you, if you or I (one of the "little people" did what this man has done, we would be doing hard time in prison and when we got our we would be lucky if we could get a job at McDOnald's.
What Finneran said about Howie, was a thinly veiled threat. It wasn't a joke, if this man had the ability to, he would bury Howie, because Howie has told the truth about "Tommy Taxes" for years and Finneran hates him for doing so.
Who knows, but I wonder if maybe they're relishing the attention--bad publicity though it is--that this is getting.
"Say what you want about me but get my name--or the call
letters--right..."
Of course FelonMan is a criminal and he gets rewarded with a plum WRKO gig, morning drive!

There is an effort to pressure WRKO to drop him, run by
Matt Margolis (local blogger) and Brian "Radio Equalizer"

They are asking people contact the sponsors. btw one reason DePetro was let go was because some sponsors like Harvard
Pilgrim Health Care were upset.

I think in many ways Howie is doing this tongue in cheek but you do have a point and we'll hear the next chapter in
this saga around 3:07 pm today or so! :)
