Same thing happened with Rush here, it was cancelled WRKO 640 AM and picked up AM 1200 who changed their name to “Rush Radio” and are now > WRKO. I only listen to RKO for Howie Carr now.
And after his last contract debacle, how long will Howie be on RKO after his contract is finally up?
WRKO= 680
In Boston case Clear Channel owns 1200 and wanted the shows
their syndie arm Premier has: Beck, Hannity (w/ Citadel),
Rush, etc. They hired frequent Howie fill in Jeff Katz
for mornings (orig from Philly, has been in NC, Boston, etc. before). Rush Radio’s ratings aren’t exactly hot but the FM
music sister stations help finance it...and Clear Channel
gets clearance for the shows and the ads
In Prov. Clear Channel’s WHJJ took away Rush from Citadel’s
WPRO
1210 is where I can listen to Rush, Hannity and Beck. I am not a regular by any means. CBS pushing out Beck and Hannity? No surprise there.
I used to listen to WTTK (?) back when I worked in Marlborough MA - Eagan and Braude were fun to listen to
and Jay Severin was a hoot. Mike B would come on and interview pals of Whitey Bulger and attempt to defend
brother Biily the former UMass Pres. How corrupt.
