Hollander didn't fire O&A. Mel did.
Also killing Free-FM is really unwarranted, considering that O&A are pulling up the stations where they are. Also left out - the reason why WNEW was doing poorly before Sex for Sam was BECAUSE THERE WAS NO MORNING SHOW.
Howard didn't want to be a team player, and nobody screwed with Uncle Mel in the late 90's, so you had a revolving door of shows that couldn't compete.
WYSP was doing quite well with Howard mornings, O&A afternoons, and rock at night.
These hack comedy letters really annoy the hell out of me, because Ken Lay destroyed the financial futures of a lot of people. If you work in radio, well, at least you're a willing participant in destroying your financial future.
