What happened to Chris Core? I moved from DC in ‘03 and didn’t know he was gone. He was too middle of the road for my tastes, but he had his moments.
I used to really like the Tim Brandt and Andy Parks morning show — was listening to it when the planes hit the towers on 9/11. Then they added that SOB Bill Press and ruined it.
They also used to have some horrible English liberal woman on after Chris Core that I loathed — I called her the Britch. Ugghh...
Chris Core was moved from afternoon to mornings and then he was let go.
Core was, and is, a sweet man. Middle-of-the-road, as you say, but that was an excuse for the conservatives to get on the phone, frothing, and have at it with the crazy liberals.

As I understand it Tim Brandt had other offers and got greedy. I don't recall whether he resigned or got fired. Agree that Bill Press was a disaster. What a whiner. He was talking to Chris Plante a few months ago over this Fairness Doctrine deal and as usual he sounded like he was about to burst into tears. God I hate weak emotional girlish men like that. How can anyone respect them?
Chris Core works for WTOP now but he doesn’t have a radio show. In fact, all he gets to do is a paltry 1-minute commentary.
However, he does get to host some weekend local issues TV show for I guess whatever local TV station WTOP owns.
He has moved even a little bit more to the center as its probably truly more honest about him, but he still maintains some conservative elements.
