What would happen if Imus replaces Grandy & Andy on 630 WMAL?

Paul Farhi, a radio issues reporter for the Washington Post, hosted "Station Break" a radio/TV Q&A this past Tuesday at washingtonpost.com and the follwoing was posted:

Poster: "Expect Phil Boyce the guy who invented Curtis and Kuby in the morning (on NYC's WABC) to shortly announce that Imus will be replacing Gopher and Parks next on (WABC sister WMAL) Newstalk 630 in DC".

Fahri: As of yesterday, WMAL had no plans for Imus. I'm just sayin'...

What do you all make of this? As far as I know, WMAL has no plans whatsoever to move or eliminate "The Grandy & Andy Morning Show". This talk is disturbing. I do not want Imus in or near WMAL.

These comments may just be pure gossip or innuendo...

Comments, anyone? I'm losing sleep over this issue. I can't stand Don Imus.

Don’t forget Nehman! Local shows make a station, you don’t want every dam station to be the same.

Like I said before Silvie, if WMAL makes the incredibly stupid mistake of replacing Andy and Fred with that broken down, decrepit, foul-mouthed, old goat, I’m outta there. I’ll listen to the Greaseman before I ever listen to Imus again...

[Past Your Eyes]

I don’t know which whining was worse: Kooby’s or Imus’s.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

I know... I like Bryan too... but it’s “Grandy & Andy” and not “Grandy, Andy & Nehman”...

[BGHater]

BTW, you did a good job on Sunday a while back.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Thanks BG. Would you like to be part of the Chris Plante Ping List? I don’t think you’re part of it now, or are you?

[BGHater]

Sure add me to it. The FReepers were in force last Sunday.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Ok.

[PLMerite]

Ditto. Grandy and Andy are great. While I’m glad he got a show again, I’m not an Imus fan and won’t listen to him.

[Fairview]

I thought that Andy Parks was actually part of station management. Isn’t that true? I mean, he wouldn’t choose to get rid of his own show.

[Lawgvr1955]

Any truth it won’t be called “Imus In the Morning” but will be titled “Imus Morning Hoedown”?

[Tanniker Smith]

I can’t stand him either. And I already lost Kuby. Curtis soon to follow.

Considering WMAL’s an ABC station, I think Imus’s appearance on the station is pretty much inevitable. However, I know there hasn’t been much kind talk about Chris Core, so they may just move Grandy and Andy back to the 9-12 slot and give Core the axe instead.

I have nothing to suggest that such a move would happen (just my guess) but it seems like a realistic possibility.

[jmyrlefuller]

No. Imus in the Morning will be the official title.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

WMAL is not an ABC station any longer... it’s now a Citadel station...

[humblegunner]

Comments, anyone?

WMAL is a nappy headed ho!

[bmwcyle]

I listin to XM. I gave up 630 AM until Rush comes on.

Imus used to be hilarious on WHK, I used to be in broadcast and fondly remember the broadcasting icons which include Larry Lujack, John Landecker, Bob K. Sirotte, Machine Gun Kelly, Charley Tuna, and when KAAY in Little Rock aired Beaker Steet Theater.

Today, Imus is a has been blowhard.
