This morning 8-9pm, Boston WRKO, the Peter and Scotto program, who asked Kerry first about BOTOX. Anyone else heard it this morning? It was incredible!!!
The host scotto was fired on the air, I assumed.
Apparently, the RKO station management had a meeting yesterday about the direction of their radio and they are nervous about the launch of liberal radio. Apparently, the management wanted hosts to turn more to the left.
Apparently, they also sent out a memo out on this.
I heard Scotto was unhappy about the meeting and the memo. He talked openly about this. Then some audio was cut off. Then I heard Scotto protested on the air. I heard some man said in the background "Fired! Fired!".
The producer came to the microphone and argued with Scotto on the air. The producer said he just called Scotto's wife and "it's done". Scotto was mad hearing this. The open argument continued on the air before 8:30am. He continued the program till 9am.
I assumed Scotto was fired.
Apparently, the next talk program by Pat has also changed host. As I listened this morning, the conservative Pat was no longer the host.
Today is April 1. But this seems to be real!

I assume that beida was over excited when he posted this and wasn't thinking clearly. I hope, anyway.

Thanks. I knew this but forgot. How can I change the title. It's a shame on me.
From what I heard, it's a real thing I guess.

Watch the liberal panic and get more and more violent...

I don't know whether this is a joke or not, but I have noticed that the Joe Scarborough show on MSNBC has changed dramaticly since MSNBC hired that former CNN guy as manager. Scarborough now has that resident liberal offering the left side of every issue and now his Democrat guests out number the Republicans two to one. I think that they are trying to kill his show.

Today is April 1. But this seems to be real! That's the whole idea of a good April Fool's joke.
Sounds like you buyed into it.
To: beida
It's either April's fool or Teddy Kennedy threatened to take the station owner for a car ride.
