This is sad. I listened to FG every morning and enjoyed him and his guests and co-hosts very much. I didn't enjoy hearing his wife, though, and I can understand why the station canned her. For one thing, she did not have a "radio personality" or voice and sounded shrill and desperate, like someone you'd hear on a picket line or something. That wasn't my cup of tea in the morning. I usually switched to FM (music) on Fridays because of that. I don't think it had anything to do with CAIR or Muslim opposition but this will become a rallying cry, I'm sure, for those opposed to her leaving. Fred and Mrs. Fred are a team and I applaud Fred for his loyalty to his wife. He obviously cannot see her as we, the listeners, do. Her stridency was simply too much to bear in-between the weather, sports and local conditions on 66 and 395. Of course she was always right or at least, as far as I can tell, most always. But that's not the issue. The morning drive show was not the place for her alarming revelations delivered in a way that simply did not comport with the character of the show. I am sad to have lost Fred who was indeed a professional in every way. He knew quite well how to weave a serious story about Muslim radicalism into the day's broadcast now and then but never did it in a manner that was overwhelming or shrill. That's the principal difference between Fred and Mrs. Fred in my opinion.
