Billy West on Howie/WRKO

[Wimmmex]

It would seem to me that "LauroOmnibus" is also a personal attack. Namecalling.

It's as anonymous as he is....so it can't be too personal.

Soooo...why don't you BOTH reveal your identities in your profiles? Omni: I'm curious...I think we may have crossed paths at some point.

Let's see....Omni is making personal attacks on real people, real names, alleging all sorts of sordid behavior of people for the world to see.

I am pointing out the flaws in the posts of an anonymous BB poster.

Quite different.

Sure you use a moniker of a station that in its original configuration has been around for nearly 50 years and you have the audacity to complain about others. I know who I am and that's all that matters..... ;-)

Is there something wrong with using a handle of a classic Boston station?

....that you take cheap shots, throw smears and personal attacks at people under the cover of anonymity, some of which are dead....that's what matters.

The anonymity of the Net is attractive to some, but not everyone agrees with it. Some newspaper websites and Dan Kennedy's blog adopted "Real Name" commenting.
Not too long ago on this board, someone named "Jane Christo" started to make comments and in some ways it didn't add
up--wait, was that the REAL Jane Christo? I think she/he did confess that, no... And I wondered what the real Jane Christo might think should she happen by.

Some twitter accounts were started by people pretending to be celebs, and the real celeb had to adopt a "Real(TheirName)" twitter handle.

Better than nothing

How long has this been going on .........

Howie and the Big O. Are we gonna get Howie Unfiltered as a web stream in a couple months?

 

[DavidZ]

If so, I wonder what his affiliates would do with the PM drive slot. I would expect any Clear Channel affiliates would carry Hannity live, not sure what his other affiliates would plug in.

I think the affiliates keep Howie no matter what.

They either get the show through a deal with WRKO....or through Howie himself if/when he "self-syndicates".

 

[DavidZ]

I don't think it would be possible to continue on terrestrial radio if he were to go the internet radio route even if he were to self syndicate. I believe that was what the post from raccoonradio about Howie unfiltered was hinting.

And I know at this point it's anyone's guess as to how this will all play out for WRKO and the affiliate stations.

You know that Ordway is negotiating with terrestrial stations right now to carry his show?

The affiliates keep Howie him either way.

Some were not dead soon enough.

Judge and jury, huh? Can we check on your career?

Oh that's right...we can't cuz you're throwing rocks while hiding.
