Jay wouldn't spout the party line and became a non-person on WRKO.
The truth may set you free but it will also get you fired from Entercom.

Was mentioned last week. this week's Boston Radio Watch says he stepped down after being frustrated by constant sports pre-emptions....or maybe 'RKO just wanted to
cut his job, who knows

And take note that Boston Radio Watch mentioned that he was frustrated at constantly being pre-empted for Revs/BC football, etc.

Again, as I said before, with WKOX going to 50kW soon, maybe he could go there.

I think there could be a place for him at WHJJ or WSAR in Providence area. He's smart and can appeal to various views.....I wish he could replace the useless Helen Glover...

Yeah, it was said he left for "personal reasons."
 
Sure, not a conservative nut.

Right, all conservatives are nuts. So the people mentioned in Michelle Malkin's
book "unhinged" are sane liberals. Sane liberals who vandalize cars with Bush bumper stickers and GOP offices; smart liberals who vote for the war and then say they were "tricked" (really smart to let that dumb Bush guy fool ya); conspiracy theory liberals ranging from Howard Dean to Michael Moore. There are many more
conservatives and independents than there are liberals. Liberals: Like Dr.
Science, they KNOW more than you do! :)

This kind of post is a result of too much FreeRepublic, Michelle Malkin, TheRadiounemployed dude, and others......

back to Jay, i hope he gets his resume out to some progressive stations. Ive suggested a few but with Progressive/Liberal trending upward (slow growth of course but still growth), a host with his ability to transcend moderates, liberals, and centrists will find a suitable slot soon...hes a good solid talent that will be fine on many stations.

Does anyone feel he could do a morning show?....im not sure but there are slots for Jay...
 
Don't think of Jay Diamond as a morning man anymore than I think of Jay Severin as a morning man or the lates David Brudnoy or Jerry Williams. I think mid-day or evenings for him. The problem is that the conglomerates own all the major outlets in this city and there are no real locally owned radio stations with a signal you can hear that would hire a Jay Diamond and let him grow a local audience. We wouldn't have had a Jerry Williams, a David Brudnoy,an Avi Nelson,a Pat Whitley and many more who established themselves on locally owned radio stations before they made it to the bigger stations if they hadn't started on locally owned radio stations. The Richmond brothers [ WMEX ] may have been cheap SOB's but they were innovative SOB's which is more than you can say about the big guys who are just SOB's.

Conglomerates will eventually ruin terrestrial radio because they are never innovatibve and never cutting edge leaders and trend setters; they only follow establish trends and live off those trends like a parasite.
