(Intentional mis-spelling by me in post heading; non-intentional mis-spellings by Jay Severin to follow) Jay Severin of WTKK was apparently so upset that he was not invited to Emily Rooney's WGBH soiree that he instructed WTKK's program director to fire Ms. Rooney (allegedly...but oh maybe it was just a budget cut). The following is a nice little email sent by James Thompson Severino III (real name) to Ms. Rooney, as relayed by the Globe's Steve Bailey. Rooney had a paid gig offering commentary on Severin's show... ----------------------------- "Dear Emily," Severin e-mailed Rooney on Wednesday evening just minutes before the big...

Come Monday, October 9th, do not adjust your dial if you hear a familiar voice on the same station in the old timeslot. From Greater Media's announcement tonight : Greater Media, Inc. announces veteran on-air personality Jay Severin will be returning to afternoon drive on Boston's 96.9 FM Talk / WTKK on October 9th, 2006.

Controversial radio host Jay Severin says Bay State Gov. Mitt Romney would make a “great president” and admits that former rival Howie Carr is the most influential voice on Boston radio. “To be honest, I’d have to say Howie, now that I’m in a different time slot. There’s no question that Howie’s the big dog in local Boston radio,” Severin told the Herald during a trip to the Hub. “He’s a Boston legend.” As for Romney, Severin said he’s one of the “smartest guys” in the country and speaks the language of “regular people.” “He’s the guy I want to...

Due to an apparent programming glitch at 96.9, the first few minutes of Jay Severin's national debut Tuesday night were preempted by a Laura Ingraham repeat. Jay's show kicked in at around 7:10 pm. In case you tuned out and missed the show, Jay spent most of the evening discussing and clarifying his alleged comment about killing all Muslims, which is old news to Boston's listeners. The hilight of the show came when Severin was asked by a Boston area caller to respond to Scot Lehigh's "Phoney Pulitzer" column. He refused to address the issue, claiming he didn't want to...

(Severino Press Release Omits Controversies) With newly syndicated "libertarian/libertine" (read: anti-Bush quasi-liberal) host Jay Severin (real name: Jimmy Severino) still leading the pack, many controversies emanate from just a small number of questionable personalities. Even after exposes by the Boston-area news media on Sag Harbor, New York-based Severin's wild claims of winning a Pulitzer Prize for "online journalism" and other highly questionable assertions, CBS still went ahead with plans to take him national. What does that say about how very little has changed at the network since Rathergate? Teaming up with sister firm Westwood One, a highly misleading press release...

Don’t touch that dial Prodigal FM yakker Jay Severin will return to 96.9 FM beginning Jan. 3, and will broadcast his new, nationally syndicated show in the 7 to 10 p.m. slot. Severin, the former afternoon drive host, was yanked off the air several months ago after he signed a national syndication deal with Infinity Broadcasting. But yesterday, Severin’s agent, George Tobia, told the Track he had reached an agreement for Severin to broadcast his show on WTKK for at least a year. “We’re really excited to be back,” he said. When Severin returns to the station, he’ll bump Laura...

It's official: New WTKK afternoon/ drivetime guy is Michael Graham. (More below) Jay Severin? Still in limbo. Apparently WTKK's owner, Greater Media, has exclusive rights to _negotiate with him_ in the hope of carrying his new show, Jay Severin has Issues; this "window" runs till the end of the year, and Jay's new show starts nationwide in Jan. Could be on WTKK, WBZ, who knows. ALLACCESS.COM reports: Graham Takes Afternoons At WTKK/Boston Michael Graham As previously tipped on ALL ACCESS, former WMAL-A/WASHINGTON midday host MICHAEL GRAHAM is taking over afternoons on GREATER MEDIA Talk WTKK (96.9 FM TALK)/BOSTON, effective TODAY...

(snip)...Meanwhile, Severin is expected to be out for the 4th consecutive week as Sean Hannity's national show(3-6pm) from ABC Radio Networks fills in for him. Meanwhile, WABC/NYC's product Mark Levin is being picked up for the 6-7pm hour (at WTKK 96.9) Boston.

Jay Severin may never do another show on any Boston radio station. Or he may. At this point it might be just way too much of embarrassment and somewhat of a credibility issue for the embattled WTKK 96.9FM afternoon host to face the music after this latest episode of embellishing his educational/professional achievements. It now turns out that Severin never received a Master's degree from Boston University(story ink courtesy of the Boston Herald). Although his 'Best and Brightest' may not be the readers of the low-brow Herald or missed the original Globe story, the news about the talkshow host's inaccuracies...

Jay Severin's luck may have finally run out in Boston. After years of questions about the WTKK-FM talk host's wild boasts and other deceptive behavior, the Boston Globe's Scot Lehigh examined his most outrageous: Severin's claim to be a Pulitzer Prize winner. The result was a devastating piece that should shatter sleazy Severin's talk radio future. His academic background, place of residence, even his real name, have all apparently been faked. And the timing couldn't be worse for the self-described "libertarian/libertine" host, more on that in a moment. The Radio Equalizer raised other questions about Severin's claims in this July...

OCCASIONAL LISTENERS to ''Extreme Games" on WTKK are accustomed to host Jay Severin admiring himself in the mirror of his own imagination, a glass so vast and glittering as to rival the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. But last Friday, the talkmaster positively outdid himself in setting new laurels upon his brow: He awarded himself a Pulitzer Prize. That came as part of a conversation with a caller about the declining standards he sees in journalism. Here's what Jay said: ''But since journalism began, and up until the time at least that I took my master's degree at Boston University...

Jay Severin on WTKK in Boston has recently been very vocal in his support of Cindy Sheehan and her anti-war efforts in Crawford. He played very benign soundbites of her's yesterday, yet failed to play some of the more infammatory things she's said. Jay went so far as to say the war in IraqNam (as he flippantly refers to it) is LOST. Callers to his show are increasingly moonbatty in their remarks. He additionally said, yesterday, that protest is the MOST American of things. While, that might be true in spirit, it's wrong in execution. As we're seeing, the protest...

If you blinked, you've missed Boston radio talk show host Jay Severin's national cable talk stint. And if one source is correct, he may be finished on TV for some time. What exactly was the real reason for Severin's departure from MSNBC's low-rated "The Situation With Tucker Carlson"?

From the universe of annoying liberal habits, here are two that consistently jump off the page: --- When our viewpoints are intentionally misrepresented, to suit their cartoonish horns-on-heads images of conservatives. --- When they use their still-considerable mainstream media muscle to hire phony, weak, or otherwise ineffective "conservatives" for radio, television and newspaper gigs, in order to make our side look foolish. That likely explains how lightweight pundit Tucker Carlson has landed yet another TV talk show

On Boston radio, who's the funnier host, Howie Carr or Jay Severin? Howie mentions FR all the time, on his radion show, Herald colum, and links to FR on his page. Jay Severin on the other hand seems to be at his best when taking on Hillary and Ted.

CAIRO, 6 July 2004 — Islamophobia is alive and well in the US, starting with the authorities down to individuals such as radio talk show host Jay Severin who, according to the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claimed that Muslims want to take over America even if it takes centuries, adding “I’ve got an idea. Let’s all kill Muslims”. Amazingly Severin is still in his job, although he has been forced to apologize on air. CAIR has also filed complaints over an offensive skit on the March 10 Bill Handel show on KFI AM 640 entitled “the New Iraqi...
