Joe Scarborough show: one year later

[ajhenderson]

Well, it would have been the first anniversary this past Tuesday.

I had almost forget about his show until I heard Lionel mention it the other night. Didn't take long...

Is he getting any clearances?

So did everyone else. It should be called Scarborough County by now.

The show was cancelled. There were one or two stations who took him in order to clear Imus for free, and lo and behold, they still have Imus, but Scarborough has been long gone.

He left the show on his own. The network would have kept him going.

Cancelled is a blanket term, I suppose. Just like when I said Liddy and Hill cancelled their show. If I were WW1, I would try to lock in "talent" to deals with a little less wiggleroom after I promote them... or sign people that have actually spoken into a microphone as a host before. Didn't Scarborough cite "personal reasons" for leaving?
