"Todd Feinburg has struck a deal to co-host WRKO’s morning-drive show with Tom Finneran starting Jan. 2, a station source told the Herald today. The three-year deal worth up to $700,000 - with potential bonuses - was made yesterday, the source said, and Feinburg was spotted at the station and WRKO’s Christmas party last night at the Hard Rock Cafe."

Todd and Tom in the morning. Advil and Prozac.
 
If anyone believes that dollar figure, even with bonuses, they are probably popping more than Finneran's advil.

Just another example of lazy Jessica getting it wrong.
 
"Is this a sign that they couldn't strike a deal with Moe Lauzier for the morning drive shift?"

Is there really a demand for talk about little leauge and gardening during morning drive?
 
Seems unlikely. Feinburg was first offered the producers slot on Finneran's show but he turned it down, i'd be surprised if he became a morning co host.

Yep, Jessica showing a growing trend in news reporting: refusal to research. Tom Brady suspension, faux Mitchell Report, TF co-host...why would you let something silly like a Tuesday press release stop you from printing mis-information for Thursday? Someone should slip Jessica WRKO's phone number. She obviously doesn't have it becasue she made no attempt to call it to verify her bad info.

considering that he'll also serve as chef and general manager at brighton landing cafe this seems like a fair offer...

WRKO in the first in the nation with a brand new radio format:

WRKO - Insomnia AM

Jason and Julie may go down in radio history as the worst program directors ever. Every few months they seem to out do themselves with yet another bad decision.

Morning radio should wake you up, not put you back to sleep. I predict an increase in auto accidents in the coming months as morning commuters throughout Boston find themselves falling asleep at the wheel.

How does WRKO do in the 25-54 demo?

I assume the 25-54 numbers in the morning have been pretty good. Finneran up against a lame fill-in Graham all summer and most of the fall. Should be a big boost for WRKO.

It's the afternoon I'm interested in. Any word, 25-54 what's been happening with WRKO and WTKK? How bad did Howie's hold out hurt them? Did Severin's numbers jump? How much?
