He was really excellent for quite a while. Then something changed. Maybe he got threatened to be pulled or cancelled one too many times? And he toned down a lot.
Then, IIRC, he got suspended a few times. And then finally cancelled.
But, near the end of his tenure. he started to say some random things that I kind of started to wonder if it was all an act? And not really his true beliefs he was espousing? but merely playing “shock jock” to eager listeners.
I think his pinnacle of success was his contract with WTKK in Boston. Once he lost that deal it was down hill from there. I think Jay had the top drive time afternoon show in the Boston market at one point. Comparable to Felger & Mazz on The Sports Hub today.
Obviously, the whole talk format of WTKK eventually changed. They had a great format for awhile. Don Imus in the morning. Michael Graham in the early afternoon. The Jay Severin in the afternoon drive time slot. The only crummy part was Jim & Margery in the late morning.
I noticed the same thing.
