WRKO Radio Boston now has an ex-politician running a morning talk show. This ex pol was convicted of lying to a jury in a redistricting scheme. He has special protection that only Democrats enjoy, although they get convicted, they don't do time. You know, like Sandy Burglar. Instead, he gets a lucrative talk radio show, Finneran’s Felons Forum.
The big rub is the idiots or left wing hit men have now signed up the Boston Red Sox. They are preempting the station’s biggest attraction, Boston’s long time talk show journalist, Howie Carr. Are the station managers idiots or is the vast left wing conspiracy moving in to squash successful conservative talk radio. My cynical instincts tell me the CEO and talk managers are big Clinton supporters and they are not idiots. They are making a sneak attempt at killing talk radio. The host of Finneran’s Felons Forum has been a long time target of Howie Carr. Tom Finneran runs with the pack of corrupt politicians bought by big business. This felon is attempting to marginalize Howie Carr. More evidence that the WRKO managers appear to be gunning for Howie.
Well sometimes the Red Sox are going to be playing between Howie's time slot.
There's always that other talk station on the FM dial. I'm sure Howie would be a welcome addition.
I haven't lived in Boston for several years now, although it is still our legal home, but please tell me, why has WEEI dropped the Red Sox?
I just turned on WRKO in Boston @ 2PM, when RUSH LIMBAUGH should have been on (Howie comes on @ 3:00). What do I hear? A Red Sox exhibition game! They pre-empted Rush freakin' Limbaugh!!!!!
They had hired John Depetro, enough said.
TF had his show since January.
Why bring this up now?
Seems pointless to me, but hey--it's Massachusetts. Thanks for the info. :-)
Howie will be moved to Florida in 12/18 months...
Morons are allowed to run their businesses as they please and hemorrage as much $ as they want. Paul Allen(aka the accidental billionaire) has lost hundreds of millions on the Trailblazers. Rob Glaser lost millions on Air America. Let them flush their cash down the rat-holes. It's good for the economy.
Same here.I can pick up Rush on a Providence station plus he's streamed on WABC in New York.Howie and Savage I can pick up on that new station in Worcester...plus they're streamed there.
The day they picked up that slimey,filthy felon Finneran was the last day my dial was on 680AM.
What is the name of the new station in Worcester?
Exactly. I'll bet his wife was househunting when she was down there recently. Moving between two time slots is NOT the way to keep an audience. WRKO has been going down hill for the last couple of years. Even Howie was beginning to sound derivative and desperate as the station sank. That's another reason why he was flogging his book so hard. Howie is focused on his own bottom line. He isn't about to waste his time at a sinking radio station. I think he'll leave WRKO tbefore the end of the summer.
By the way, Sean H. is on 610 out of New Hampshire 3-6PM 5 days a week.
I don't know its call letters, but it's 580 AM. They have Rush noon till 3PM. Howie is on 830 AM, also in Worcester, but I again don't know the call letters.
Just remembered it: 580 AM in Worcester is WTTT. It carries Rush noon till 3PM every weekday, same as WRKO in Boston used to do.
A convicted felon, ex-politican has filled in for Rush in the past.
Thanks for the info.
