Furman Resigns from 1160

M

I wonder where Andy Furman lands next? Eddie Fingers would be a good replacement.




http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2011/12/13/andy-furman-resigns-from-real-talk-1160/

Andy Furman confirms he’s leaving “Real Talk 1160″ on Friday. I just got off the phone with him, then removed the question mark off the headline of this blog. Andy says he hopes to be able to talk about his move next year. He says he can’t say more. I get the impression that he’s still deciding what his next move will be, that he doesn’t have a done deal, or that he’s got a deal that he can’t talk about until his next employer announces it.
 
That's probably the main reason. Local programming is more expensive than running a syndicated show from who knows where.
 
I don't think Fingers would be, either. Assuming RealTalk sticks with the sports focus. Eddie would most likely find that restrictive.

Stuff is working.
Still do not know why he decided to do this. Thought for sure that 1380 or 1530 made a run at him.
Would like to keep it local.
We'll see.
 
Folks may be saying..... "Andy who?"

Boy, that sounds mean..considering the 23 months of loyal service he gave you.

Not surprising - remember how they treated J.C. McCoy?

You know, that did come off as really mean. Sorry. At the time, i was exceptionally frustrated.
There are two sides to every story, BTW.
We'll do our best to take the high road.

Understandable. Probably hard for you getting over that hump to provided some kind of consistency on your channel. For what it's worth, I used to like Furman about 10 years ago but these days I find him pretty annoying. You can only do the same schtick for so long before it gets old and the New York sports fan gets tiring to me.

Hey, i used to dial him up on the I Phone and listen while walking the dog.
I think Jeff with Rich and Jeremy will do well. Might be more thoughtful and less of the antics.
They are working on a plan for when Spring Training and the regular season hits.
