Despite the new felony conviction of a sleazy, unpopular former Democrat Party legislator, a key WRKO / Boston manager continues to dig in her heels on a dubious programming move, seemingly without regard for the damage it will do to the station.
Meanwhile, disgust over former Massachusetts House Speaker Tom Finneran's felony conviction yesterday continued to generate anger today, particularly over the light "punishment" received for his guilty plea on perjury charges.
... snip ...
If not for WRKO's interest, however, Finneran really would take a hit, as he is losing his pension, right to vote, carry a weapon or run for office. In addition, his plum job overseeing the state's biotech council is now said to be on shaky ground.
As a result, it's really WRKO's Julie Kahn who is determined to ensure that Finneran escape punishment, as she's standing at the ready with a pot of gold to reward a notorious Beacon Hill crony.
This is despite Finneran's lack of talk radio experience, in fact, he's yet to do a single show on the increasingly- troubled station. Nobody knows if Finneran could last a month without realizing just how difficult it is to host a daily drivetime talk show, much less be entertaining or compelling. Most former politicians fail in talk radio for this very reason.

What's Howie Carr saying about this?
bumparoo for a later view.
Liberals never admit mistakes, let alone learn from them.
If they lose Howie, they lose me. WTTK would be delighted to have him.
>>the Red Sox which will have their games broadcast on WRKO this season and whose owners are big Liberals
I've mentioned this before. When the Sox games end, do
Henry/Lucchino/Werner want them to lead into Michael Savage?
could we soon see Air America/libtalk 680?
Tom Finneran
Marge Clapprood
Thom Hartmann
Some lib in place of Howie
Mike Dukakis Show
Randi Rhodes...
yeesh
agreed
Howie hasn't been shy about mentioning his shopping around for a TV gig, presumably with FOX News Network. He would also prefer that the backdrop be of Palm Beach instead of the Boston sky-line. John DePetro's web-page has promised an announcement coming soon about a new gig for The Independent Man.
Good point, considering that the AA station in Boston just converted to Mexican Music. The Libs could use the Red Sox to bankroll their agenda. I wonder if this is legal?
DePetro's prob going to WHJJ Providence
