Me too. It is like the couple you shared coffee with every morning left town suddenly. But he came back stronger after the whole Liz Randolph thing so who knows?
Lawrenceville is dumpy area that is beginning to gentrify but still has a ways to go
Quinn was in his 50’s when the whole Liz Randolph thing went down. He is I think in his early 70’s now. He may decide that he’s had enough.
oh crap, this means three more hours of that chiropractor from Green Tree every day...
E mailed Rose..They are getting things ready I bet. On the net maybe with help from Beck or Hannity!!!
Agreed he’s no spring chicken. Not sure what the reasons were but it’s radio guys crap like this goes on all the time and it’s very rarely due to subterfuge.
I know, that is what I thought too! He may just decide to retire. What a sad day that will be.
I hope you’re right Greg!
In a statement, a Clear Channel spokesperson said “WPGB tried to reach new terms with Jim Quinn and Rose Tennent, but as that was unsuccessful, they will be moving on and we support and thank them for the contributions they have made to Clear Channel Media + Entertainment’s WPGB over the years.”
By Maria Sciullo / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Conservative talk hosts Jim Quinn and Rose Tennent are no longer part of Clear Channel's WPGB 104.7 FM morning programming. The duo finished its run in Pittsburgh at the end of last week.

Warroom.com is Rose’s site. Has been, since it first went live, back in the WRRK days.
Thanks for that info. Maybe we will hear from them soon.It is a hole in my heart but I understand they have some decisions to make. I have been listening since 92. Once again Thanks.
This is really shocking!
I’ve been off work for a few days so I’ve been out of things. Bad day in the Burgh!
prisoner6, which affiliates still had the show this morning? See, my problem too is that I’m in Canada and we do not receive IHeart radio...it’s not allowed and we can’t hear it here. Has anyone heard Quinn or Rose comment on this today yet? I emailed Rose but I don’t expect really to hear from her. I posted on Beck’s and Ingraham’s facebook to ask them to comment.
No affiliates had the show this morning. WPGB and WFRB were both running that Bloomdaddy idiot from Wheeling, WV. Not sure what the other affiliates were running. The one in Rochester, NY apparently made an announcement that they had been fired.
I think you will hear from Rose eventually. Likely they need to get their p’s and q’s in order before making any kind of a statement.
Or come on down and hang out at the South Fayette Shop n’ Save, cause you can be sure that Quinn will walk in there eventually.
The last couple of months, Rose had been doing a lot more lead on the show, at least in the first hour; I’d been wondering if perhaps they were grooming her to take over. Who knows; maybe Quinn *will* retire now, and Rose will go out on to her own, somewhere (The Blaze, maybe?).
You may be correct. I always thought they had such a nice team dynamic going on. Quinn was sometimes at his best when handling a dissenter. He could poke holes in their arguments with logic. Rose brought the passion and fire to the show. It is hard to listen to any one person for three hours.
