As predicted, Howie Carr read a statement....obviously from his lawyers that he would not discuss the matters that have been published about him. Carr said he will read the statement at the top of every hour.

and his show sounds really sloppy today....missing advertiser sheets to read, hwoie's sounding really impaintent
He does not seem himself.
I really liked the part, in the middle of reading the statement, where he interjected, '...it says here,' clearly making the point that these were not his words by someone else's. Then I liked the elephant sound effect at the end. I was only able to capture this initial bit, by planning a business errand in town for 3pm!
It's breaking news in the Herald, which says "grim sounding" but he sounds pretty happy ("my heart
feels like an alligator"-mode)

"It says here" is def. his way of saying it's not his words he's reading. The statement w/ elephant
sound effect at the end is being rebroadcast each hour. I think he sounds just fine and the death
pool is appropriate, as WRKO is more likely to buy the farm before Betty Ford, Eli Wallach,
or Jack LaLanne.
He did refer to how
nice it was that Don Imus is helping his career...

If today's show was an audition tape of Howie Carr there is still time for TKK to back out and save a few million...
Death Pool for Howie one might say.

How can they "match" the offer?
the offer is for morning drive. Are they going to boot Felon Finneran to afternoon drive, or some other daypart?

Very good points....from inside Entercom...how can they offer him a morning drive slot on an FM station ...at the pay that he will be getting? Lawyers have ways of making things happen. I recall a former President once saying... It depends on what the meaning of "is" ...is.
Go HOWIE.
PS --- How many white wines has Julie had today???? I'll take the 9th caller

I listened to Howie yesterday and loved every minute of it! The sarcasm was priceless, Howie is THE MAN and the statement, oh the statement, doesn' t get any better than that, the paper rattling in the background before he read said statement, the elephant sound after he read said statement and the little comments peppered here and there throughout the program, good radio! ;D The finale was when RKO cut off his program to go to red sox,,,,,making perfectly clear why Howie is dissatisfied and moving on.............

It better, for Greater Media's sake. On a day with probably the highest audience in years, Carr decides to corner the trailer park and moron market. Phil Redo's phrase that pays yesterday must have been "Holy Sh*t!"

Yep, that's certainly going to get folks to take Ed Walsh and D&C off the presets.

I believe that's what's called a mercy killing.

I thought Howie was good; the loss of the last half hour happens quite often--but then again when
Howie moves to 96.9 he's gonna wind up with 3.5 hours anyway (5:30-9...WRKO and other Sox
affiliates who also carry Howie were often losing the 6:30-7, or actually 6:25-7 segment of the show)
Trailer park and moron market? I thought death pool was funny.
Paper rattling: stealing from Limbaugh, or at least making a point that yes, he WAS reading something
he was FORCED to read by the bosses. Howie held hostage!

I thought Howie was good;
I thought it was run of mill, which means he blew it, since this was a great opportunity to show folks listening for the first time that he'll be worth switching to when he goes to AMD. He should have tried to hit it out of the park, and instead he bunted.
Unless, of course, it was the best he can do, which means that WTKK blew it.

Now that's good radio because who would have ever guessed that he was told to read it, and certainly better than trying to explain that he was misquoted when he stated in the press that 'I will not be muzzled.' Bet Loren and Wally are glad they just signed long term contracts. Howie is about to enter an arena which is the radio equivalent of playing in a golf tournament where every competitor is Tiger Woods and only having a 5 iron in his bag.

Most of the contracts I've seen only require the station to match the money, and sometimes
reasonable incentives ( vacation time, dedicated staff, use of recips, free car, audience bonuses, that kind of stuff.)
A clause that required a station to match all the particulars would be worthless.
