Fantastic news.
My only fear is that Howie’s slowing down a bit. I hope he doesn’t turn soft.
To: SteveMcKing

This move is ironic on a number of levels. Two people that Howie Carr seemed to loathe were Tommy Finneran and Don Imus. Now he’ll be competing with one and replacing the other. Good for Howie. RKO has been treating him like dirt lately, especially with the Finneran fiasco. I look forward to having something decent to listen to in the mornings again!

Great move for Howie. He's been a solid firebrand for so long that I don't see him slowing down in his new venue. He'll have a greater national impact, with his signal having a larger reach.

I hope WTKK can syndicate his show because that station drops when you get past Sturbridge - but they are on the Net ;)

In the winter, WRKO would be out when you get past Framingham. I wish Howie was on XM.

Somehow I think that this will be good. WRKO has really fallen apart and Howie’s better off where he’ll be appreciated. He’ll also suck whatever life there is out of Tommy’s show.

Howie will bury Finneran. Looks like a good move for Howie, I’ll miss him in the afternoons.

My thoughts exactly, you can hear it, definitely distracted.

About a month after Finneran came on he had Governor Patrick on and Tommy made a joke about arranging a "Ride" for Howie Carr. He said "Three will leave and two will come back if you know what I mean". Even the Governor was embarassed.
Howie's going to enjoy putting "two in the hat" to Finneran's Forum.

If true, I hope his new station allows him to do the show exactly the way he wants, politically incorrect sound effects and all. I’ve gotten used to listening him after work, when I was tired and needed a few laughs to pick me up—it’ll be a little strange listening to him in the morning.
To: SteveBosell
Interesting development. Howie Carr detested Imus because Imus made a filthy, utterly debauched comment on air about Carr’s wife, (something to do with Carr’s wife, anal sex and a black man, if I recall correctly). The Carr family eventually sued and recieved an out of court settlement from Imus. Howie Carr revealed this story on his show shortly after the Imus debacle came out.

Take note, it may be the RoMass, but we do have FReepers and Republicans there, and must keep them in mind.
