Sorry to hear about George Weber, but he might've guessed it was coming since the Imus program has its own newsguy, so Weber's hours were severely cut back.
Curtis w/o Kuby to balance him out can sometimes really veer off into looney-kazooney territory.
I have NEVER cared for Rocky Allen or his "show-gram". They'd be better off with music in the afternoon. I scan the dials when ABC is on one of its 10-minute commercial breaks (and no one interesting is on WOR either) and I rarely stop on PLJ in the afternoon.
I agree with much of what you said, but I’d try Steve Malzberg, on WOR from 4 to 6 pm.
