Note: inaccuracy in the headline of this Herald article. 96.9 FM's call letters are WTKK (as stated in the article), not WTTK (those call letters used to be in Boston; 100.7 had them before they became WZLX)

This might be promising for Howie but I get the feeling that they may decide that he was still an Entercom employee when the offer was made, etc.

Howie Carr hopes to work at WTKK (96.9) while his case winds its way through court, which could take over a year.

I am no big fan of Howie Carr, but this entire episode seems to me to be simply an example of a Judge giving Howie just a little bit of payback for his many criticisms over the years.

IMO this Judge ought to be bought up on misconduct charges.

It is outrageous that someone can be compelled to work for a company. Only the Military should have that power.

People accept job offers before quitting their current jobs all the time. The judge is full o’cr*p.

“”While Carr is no longer on the WRKO payroll, the station continues to use his marquee name, running ads for his radio show in the Herald, airing commercials he narrated and putting a “Virtual Howie” puppet on the front page of its Web site.””

Wait a gosh-darn minute here....they are not paying him?
And they are still using all his goodies - RE: His name, likeness and voice...I did not know that...

That “Virtual Howie” puppet could be seen as harassment of a ‘former’ employee...he’s on strings...
