Eddie Trunk finally speaks.

Check out www.eddietrunk.com to read about what happened to his XM show. Now, I know this is only one side of the story, and I did not hear the 6/25 show that got Charlie Logan's panties in a bunch, but I have been listening to Eddie since his days on WDHA back in the mid 80s and he has always been a stand up guy so I am inclined to believe what he says.

Needless to say, I'm disgusted!
 
I really hate it when management screws the company over by allowing little personality issues to stand in the way of giving the customer the best product avaiable.
I know if I was in XM's senior mnagement I would talk to Logan to find out how much of Eddie's comments are truth as opposed to perception.
I would bring them both in and completely lay everything out on the table as to what XM expects from the program. If Eddie does not agree with the format then he has the option of moving on, with no animosity nor back and forth omments.

What's sad is that other than Piazza's complaints about the content of the Boneyard (I agree with him that Joan Jett has no business being on a heavy metal channel), his comments on XM were overwhelmingly positive.

Although it's unfortunate that Trunk is out of a job (although his plate seems to be otherwise full with his other gigs), it may be for the best. Trunk was never treated particularly well by XM. Last year, while the New York studios were being renovated for Opie and Anthony, Trunk was forced off the air for several weeks. He also complained about the cramped studio facilities several times, and the phones were a joke (sometimes the callers couldn't hear Eddie, if memory serves). Also, the "music-on-hold" was an advertisement for Opie and Anthony. Perhaps his on-air complaints about the facilities were the real reason for his dismissal and Logan was just looking for an excuse. Trunk's account of his dismissal, however, makes Logan look like a loose cannon, and perhaps I am giving him too much credit and he is not that calculating.

By the way, I'm not the biggest Trunk fan, but I've been listening to him on and off for over ten years dating back to his WDHA days.
 
O&A won't save him.

Me too. He's a talented fellow and was not used to his full ability.

From Eddie's site: Many have asked about me going on the Opie & Anthony channel. I have spoken with both of them about it and they expressed interest, but they have not returned any follow up calls.

Where are they gonna put him? Already the O&A fans and the R&F fans are pissed at each other because of the replay schedule being hashed out.

And besides, even people who O&A want to help out, it doesn't work out... case in point: Scott Ferrall.
