BRW: 'RKO morning show; Levin to WTKK

[raccoonradio]

The new Boston Radio Watch (http://www.bostonradiowatch.com) talks about the WRKO morning show--more news than talk
(BRW says that Entercom hopes 'EEI's morning show will pick up Stern listeners,
at least the ones who won't get Sirius about their fave talker). Other bits of interest include the fact that while Hannity will again fill in for Severin
on WTKK, the 6-7 pm hour will be given over (at least for now?) to lawyer/
talk host Mark Levin ("Men in Black"). The Great One, frequently heard on Hannity, will air via WABC.

wow, WRKO's death spiral begins Monday.

Back To The Future, right back to 1985 radio. Hope the flux capacitor is working...

ABC might as well syndicate this guy. They put Mark Davis up on sat (again); why not Levin? That seems to be the trend: syndicate everything possible and strip top stations like WABC, now WBAP, and now WTKK of anything local. Not that Levin is a bad guy, but his appeal would seem to me to be limited to the Northeast Corridor, probably like Batchelor's.

Howie's "bulldog edition"

Just heard a WRKO promo for the new morning show and it said "Howie Carr's
Bulldog Edition, only on Boston This Morning". I think a bulldog edition is
the very first, earliest edition of a paper. Kind of like the Sunday papers
that you can get on Saturday night in or close to Boston. Probably some kind
of commentary/"radio version of his column"--he already had done a couple
such things for the morning show.

They already do (or *did*) a "Coffee with Carr" segment, so what is this???

That's what I meant. Just a re-titling.<P ID="signature">______________

Levin made his debut on WTKK tonight but for the first minute or so the
Jerry Doyle Show was mistakenly put on air; was quickly remedied. He started by welcoming Boston listeners, etc. I don't think he's on the website yet (WTKK)
--is this just temporary, pending a decision on Severin?
