Has WRKO been "saved"?

A certain blogger has not posted anything on his site since 3/11, I wonder if Charlie Manning got him a job over on Guest Street in return for his silence?
 
um ah um charlie manning um um um ah, what would that certain blogger be doing on guest street? he's definetly not on the air um um um um. ;D
 
Frankly, I'm surprised Maloney hasn't re-branded the site as something like Save Boston Talk.

Or at least Bury WRKO. ;)
 
His so-called radioequalizer blog has been reduced to commenting on Al Sharpton. He has heretofore been unemployable in radio; I believe he hasn't appeared on the O'Reilly Sphincter in ages. Maybe he got one of those U.S. Census part-time jobs, and as a Federal Employee, is refraining from commenting on politics per the Hatch Act. Naaah...he wouldn't be able to pass the qualifying test.
 
Meanwhile I'm glad to note that WRKO should be carrying some Red Sox games when they conflict with
Celtics playoff games. I can get WRKO halfway decent at work (still need mini FM transmitter but comes
in clear at least).

On Radio Eq blog Maloney does refer to his now orphaned (?) blog as Save Boston Talk Radio
 
I only listen to WRKO for Savage, and am always disappointed when he's replaced by sports. WRKO is supposed to be a talk station, not a sports station....they have WEEI for that. STOP replacing talk with sports!
 
They have to do that to honor their contracts. Be prepared to look for Savage elsewhere (try WCRN 830) on
Tue and Fri nights as they will carry Sox (WEEI has Celts playoffs). As I've said before I would prefer WRKO
for Sox (easier to get at work) but I can see your frustration.
 
Seems the Howie suspension story woke him up, as there is a new story up, but still it has been more than a month between posts, and that is a good enough reason for me to consider deletion from my radio favorites bookmark file
 
and it has been more than a month since the last update to the site, the April ratings have been out a few days, no comment, 1200 has been up and running almost 2 months, no comment, Maybe it is time to delete SaveWRKO from my favorites folder.
 
Dear Mr Wolfe:
I am one of your advertisers and bought spots on the Laura Ingraham show. To my horror I found that my spots were inaudible since either a traffic report or the show or a "promo" were being heard at the same time. I suspect you did not have a board operator on duty and thus your computer had some sort of glitch allowing this to happen. Please do a make-good on these spot airings; as it is, I am seriously considering taking my business elsewhere...

(theoretical but it DID happen. "Nobody's Home"--RR)
 
I heard that too. Spots were playing over the top of Laura. Thought maybe they were just experimenting with a way to increase the spot load without editing down Laura.

Bob, when the EDS gets to the point where even the technical glitches that have been commonplace for 90 years start meriting your comment, it may be time to sit back and take a deep breath. Even your hero Maloney seems to have figured out that this obsession will all things Entercom, no matter how trivial, is a loser and was just making him look like a non-serious dope. You may want to go to school on that.

Regards,
TSB
 
C'mon I'm just having a little fun with it. No need to condescend towards me. It did sound better today.

I'm actually glad in one way that Celts lost the other day so Sox will be on RKO tonight (where they should be, if not on 93.7).
I want to be able to pick up Sox game easily at work and interference-laden WEEI is a drawback. Hopefully someday they may switch to 98.5 which I can get clearly. As for "school" I have been a DJ (and it's fun, and serving the community) at a college radio station for 30 years as of next March. Hopefully you have similar boasts in your own life, sir.
 
The "glitch" on the Ingraham show happens more often than not. A couple of times there's been an echo or I guess it's called a reverberation - terrible radio - and speaking of terrible - how can anyone listen to that horrible horrible charley manning person - every other word is either um or ah - what a horrible host - why doesn't his producer say something to him - manning makes it very very difficult to listen to him - your concentration on what he's discussing is totally blown because of all the distractions with the ums and ahs - he sounds totally uneducated - waste of air time - I'd rather listen to static! ;D

When did Ed Koch get a radio show?

I certainly did. I liked the web site, but inactivity of this duration will kill any 'favorite.' I gave up on it a lot sooner than some...probably a week or two after his last post.

How about his reflexively far-right-wing radioequalizer blog?
