WABC or WBBR should have hired John Gambling.

It's just the tone of your reply.
If someone posts an observation like, "It's hot today!"
... they wouldn't necessarily expect a reply like:
"Come on....this is summer. Everyone who lives here knows that. Add that on top of no breeze today, and if you expect anything else, you are fooling yourself!"
Maybe I took it the wrong way. I hope so.

The list of radio personalities that have been able to give a goodbye is remarkably short. It sucks, but that's life. I'm guessing the people who wrote those articles don't know that.
I was thinking WNYC-AM too - years ago when WOR let long time host Pegeen Fitzgerald go after her husband Ed died she landed a show on WNYC. Her show (Joan) was the last gasp of the classic lineup of WOR with informational but not confrontational talk shows & would fit with WNYC. RIP to the WOR that brought us Arlene Francis, The Fitzgeralds, Bob & Ray, Jean Shepherd and those dignified 15 minute local newscasts each hour - Lyle Van, John Wyngate, Peter Roberts, etc.!
Bob Grant got a week to say goodbye to his audience.
Yep...and then what happened?
As I said...an unwritten rule. Say good bye, and it's really goodbye.
He didn't want to retire. They didn't agree on the next contract.
He had a nightly WABC show, and then a Sunday WABC show after WOR.
Are you really this dense? Big A is referring to Bob Grant's death.
My old boss got to say goodbye, but that's because he quit on the air and didn't warn anyone beforehand.
I know he's saying that you moron. However, he's implying that WOR knew he'd die on 12/31/13, when in fact he was looking to work immediately, and had two more shows.
It was a joke. He's not saying that WOR killed Bob Grant.
Jeez, some people really don't know how to deal with humor.
