It's also new news to me that WFAN covets the 19-tear-old girl...

omg why am I responding to neanderthals...no, no, no, I was just saying that WFAN doesn't care what kind of ratings number a radio host would get in 25-54 men on WILD 94.9 which is a station that a 25-54 year old man would never think to turn on...never mind it's over your heads...I swear I'm not going to look at this board for at least a week. byeee

Don't know if you're right on wrong, STM, but name calling takes away your credibility.
I'm not saying that WFAN might not look for someone that currently does an out of demo show for themselves, but:
1) The contract situation is glossed over. Talent under contract cannot just decide to move. It is not like an AE moving from CC to CBS, taking their book of business with them. Most major talent has a hard end date and a non compete in their contract.
2) Even ignoring the contract situation, if the time your are giving is correct, then T-Man would have had to of been offered the job within weeks of Imus' firing. No tryout. No national search. The weeks after the firing, CBS was scrambling around trying to spin the situation and was not in a hurry to make an immediate hire.
3) You would have to admit, T-Man's show as it is done now would have no place on WFAN. It would sound basically nothing like the current show. New sidekicks. New format.
4) CBS did hire Carolla in the mornings to go after a different demo than his former show. But, Carolla had sat in on the full Stern show 25-50 times in the #3 spot, along with Kimmel writing gigs and a TV show to show that he could move to a new demo. Yes, David Lee Roth was a bust, but they snuck him in in different markets for tryouts before the hiring, something T-Man could not do since he is under contract to a different company.
I did not call you names. I just said I found it hard to believe that T-Man was offered the job on WFAN because of the reasons that I stated above.
