Kuhner takes over WRKO morning drive

Good for him! I like his energy, and his political credentials are top notch.

I think Feinberg got the shaft in this situation, but maybe they can give him a weekend afternoon slot.

I think he used to have one back in the day on WRKO.

McScreamer won't be missed. She was one of the least informed talk radio hosts I have EVER heard.

She had intimate knowledge of some crime investigations, but that is not nearly enough to fill 20 hours a week.
 
>>maybe they can give him a weekend afternoon slot.

Maybe but they mostly do brokered, informercials...they do have Avi Nelson (when not pre-empted
by college sports, but maybe 850 will take those now) and the syndie Dennis Miller, delayed
from weekday airings.
Agreed on McScreamer, mostly for her voice. Supposedly when they put her in morning drive--
just a couple months ago--they said she'd be the main fill in for Howie. But is she totally gone now?
But yes, other than the crime info...
 
I really wish they'd find a place for Todd, he shouldn't be punished for mcscreamer making the show horrendous. Maybe they can get rid of Doyle or even levin for that matter and put Todd on at nite that would make three local hosts on the station per day. I could dig that especially with the elections coming up so fast it would be nice to have more than one local host. Maybe they could even pair Todd up with Jeff Katz, he's looking for work.
 
They should just get rid of Barry Armstrong's show and put Todd on from 9-noon. Or, get Jeff Katz for 9-noon or something. While I don't mind Armstrong, WRKO is just not the right station for him. Sure, it may help pay WRKO's bills, but with Rush back and ratings on the rise, WRKO needs to blow out 96.9. With Kuhner moving to mornings, there needs to be something else from 9-noon, either local or Ingraham.
 
Kuhner earned his shot for sure (HE may Howie's successor). Feinburg seems to be the Craig Mustard of RKO - always popping up somewhere no matter how many times he flops - ever since coming in as one of the three milktoast triplets with John DiPetro and Scott Alan Miller. If they paired Todd with June Knight, they might save him from similar obscurity. It's a shame RKO couldn't have established a steady lineup for the political season, there won't be much interest after next week.

for the long weekend

Howie has been missing single days here and there the last few months. They haven't been long weekends and have been at some odd times like the day of a debate. Anybody know if anything is up?

Doesn't he get holidays and days his kids have off off too?
 
Thank goodness McPhreak is off the air!!!! Let's hope she doesn't come back in any way, shape, or form on any station..... I only turn off WRKO off because of TWO things..

1. The cars for kids commercial

2. Mcphee...!!!

Congratulations Kuhner...!! you're awesome!!!! :)
 
@dyingeye, I believe Howie said he had "personal" business to take care of, I think one of the times he went to North Carolina but I don't know what for and lately he's been taking a few hours here and there for his daughter's field hockey?? game, I don't remember exactly what sport, maybe someone else does?
