she can barely do radio, what makes them think she can do TV?
Time to hire 3 people with editing skills and build 3 more editing suites.
So where does this leave WRKO? She staying or going? If going who replaces her?
So much for the grooming her to take over PM drive if HC bolts.

And her Fox25 gig is now over, who replaces her there?

oh god, can't they find a different press photo for her? I think that's the same one TKK had on their site for a hundred years. Her hair is a mess and it looks like she had someone swing something at her face on one side and it's caved in/crushed in

She says " ...looking forward for digging for news."
In my opinion, she does not dig. She reports what her connections tell her.
Don't hold your breath waiting for her to report on any police corruption or any thing negative about the men in blue.
Can't stand WHDH so now it's WBZ-TV for me.

If McPhee is indeed going to concentrate on 5 & Herald etc, and would leave her RKO gig, who would replace her? Assume it's not going to syndie. Jen Brien? Avi Nelson, for now?
Wait...wait, I hear a voice...
"Best and brightest, fear not, I am making every effort to return to you. I have sent my resume to
Mr Wolfe and perhaps may wind up getting an early afternoon slot..."

I've labelled it a longshot but anything can happen, I guess. Longshot.
On another board (one I set up related to RKO etc.) someone wrote that they heard her say she is doing TV only (i.e. giving up radio show) when a caller asked about it. So...who does RKO get?
I think the TV gig starts in Sept.

Scranton,
While I was at WEEI doing real news, I took a part time gig in TV. Trust me content doesn't count. The only thing that matters is how you look on camera. I asked the producer once if we were doing news or a TV show. His answer was, "We are doing a TV show. It just happens to be on the news." Check out the Fox 25 morning news. It proves that there is a thin line between news and entertainment programming, and they are flitying with it.

I am simply shocked by this news. I wouldn't have been surprised if Fox 25 or CH 7 hired her but Ch.5? Boston's premiere news operation is going to hire this two bit reporter? Her books read like she wrote them over a weekend and are filled with mistakes, galring inaccuracies and information she would have no way of knowing. Has anyone ever listened to her radio program where she just pulls facts and figures out of the air?
She has carried water for the boys in blue for years and therefore has good police sources but is that a reason to hire her?
A friend of mine who also works in the Boston media speculated that they hired her to prepare for when and if Whitey Bulger goes to trail. But they already have reporters like Jack Harper and Kelly Tuthill who have done great work covering Bulger. Tuthill was the first reporter to have Bulger and Grieg's booking photos.
As for RKO, can they get Armstrong to buy two more hours? I assume they will go with Nelson Brien and other fill ins for a while. Samatha Clemmons who buys some time on Revolution Radio filled in for McPhee on Tuesday. I thought she was pretty good but will RKO put a liberal on the air everyday? Given the dirth of talk talent in this town they are going to have a hard time find someone worth listening to.

I've always thought that...for TV, you gotta at least have photo/telegenic people, who can also do the job...and this does explain Kim, Gene, and Cindy....but not VB lol
VB lost a lot of weight though. He used to remind me of ESPN's John Kruk.
Someone posted on Free Republic that they heard Jen Brien will replace her; not sure if true but it sounds like what RKO would prob do (either temp. or permanently). Looking around for confirmation on twitter, facebook, Herald, Globe...anyway, could well be Brien...McPhee is set to join CH 5 next month
The guy on free republic says
>>I was out this afternoon with someone and they had mcscreamer on (McPhee) and a caller asked who was going to take her place when she goes in September, mcscreamer asked her producer if it was ok to make the announcement - he said yes - she said Jen Brien will be taking over.
