Bernard McGuirk

Not unexpected, but sad nonetheless.
 
According to WABC's website, Bernard McGuirk is alive and well. I heard a promo on Larry Kudlow's show on Saturday morning for the Bernie & Sid show so I decided to check the website and, sure enough, as of Monday morning nobody has bothered to update it. WABC must have known for awhile that Bernie's death was a possibility so there's really no excuse.

Let me make clear that I am NOT COMPLAINING. I've never listened to Bernie and Sid. I have no reason to contact WABC directly.

What I do care about is that radio stations don't seem to care about maintaining their digital assets, and this is one example. Bernie's passing was covered amply everywhere but on WABC's own website.
