Anthony Cumia coming to WABC
- Thread starter Theater of My Mind
- Start date
You beat me by 4 seconds. I’m actually looking forward to hearing him again
That will be... interesting.
Yes. I’m not sure what to expect
I'm expecting to not listen
I assume a remote from St. Patrick's is not in the cards.
He lives in South Carolina now, but I see what you did there.
Anthony is one of the quickest, funniest people I've ever heard on the radio, it's a real shame he's also a racist woman-beating drunk.
Seattle was mostly outside the shock jock sphere except for Tom Leykis and the idiotic BJ and the Men’s Room
I did enjoy this podcadt

It's not going to be drive time.
Always fascinated me that Seattle was such a strong market for Leykis. Something tells me present-day Seattle wouldn't be as receptive to the brand of talk he was doing in those days, if tried again.
I liked Tom's show back then. It was loud and aggressive. Exactly what it needed to be at that time.
Dump that ………
It will be interesting to see what his timeslot and schedule is. Will he get a three-hour show? One hour? A weekend slot of brokered time? Or will he be paid a certain percentage based on ad sales like Rudy reportedly was?
Does WABC have any brokered shows? Why bring that possibility up if it defies logic.
That is an occasional part of on air talent pay packages. It is an accounting nightmare, as ROS spots that run in the show are not specifically sold for that show, so might be excluded. That means every contract has to be analyzed and quantified.
What an idiot. "I have to meet a certain nut". Dude it's practically free money, just take it - for 2 hours a day. 50K
Dopie will NEVER EVER make the same amount of money he was making during the hey day of the O&A show on WNEW-FM. Or Sirius for that matter. Those days are over.
That's pretty much the business model for talk talent now. With ad rates declining, it's hard to promise talent a solid salary without knowing how much revenue that show will attract.
