OK, here it is. All Access:

WPHT/Philly Revamps Weeknight Lineup
With the demise of WESTWOOD ONE's syndicated version of JAY SEVERIN's show, CBS Talk WPHT-A/PHILADELPHIA gives an extra hour to evening host SUSANNE LAFRANKIE, who will now run 6-8p MONDAY through THURSDAY, and adds weekender ANTHONY MAZZARELLI for 8-10p weeknights. SID MARK's longrunning "FRIDAYS WITH FRANK" SINATRA show also gets another hour to air 6-8p FRIDAYS. DOM GIORDANO continues 10p-Midnight.

More time for the Action News bimbo.
Dom stays on late.
Rollye still left out.
But what did you expect?

The Big Talker is a Big Joke.
They've had some good people, like Rollye, but no more.
A Class I-A AM station with mediocre numbers.
Talk radio is dead in this town and 1210 (with help from WWDB) killed it.
CBS has shown they can run talk stations; they just haven't tried to do it in Philly in 30 years.

Rollye should be left out, after the unfortunate gatherings that I had to sit through which she was invited to, she proved to be the typical J-A-P Yenta, so different than her phoney on-air, in public farse. It was rather interesting, how she spoke harshly of the same people she constantly idolizes when it comes to their music. "two faced in a nutshell"

28yo Female Consultant/Director @ CBS/Infinity

So you've gone from being a secretary at Clear Channel to a consultant at CBS??? I'd usually put in a smart a** comment at this point, but in today's radio business, it's probably a real possibility...

They dropped the "Infinity" name a while ago, by the way. I guess you didn't get to that part of orientation yet.

What was a secretary doing at gatherings that Rollye was at? You obviously don't know her very well. We've been good friends since working together at WWDB in 1999. I highly doubt your accusations.

I could arrange a conversation between the two of you on our show if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. You can e-mail me at: [email protected]

When I've had a chance to listen to Rollye, I always enjoyed it. I haven't bothered to check and see who/where it's being streamed though.

And yeha, going from a Secretary to a Consultant? Gezz, what a promotion lol

 

[fred flintstone]

From secretary to consultant/director!
Don't forget the "director," part.
They used to have directors in radio - just like TV. C-SPAN did a live telecast of NPR News programming one day, and they still had a director.
But, as far as I know, "Infinity" board ops are on their own, with nobody sitting there telling them when to open a mic, or punch a cart. And talent manages to start talking without be cued.

Unless, her daddy left her a bunch of stock and she sits on the "Infinity" board of directors. She must have missed the meeting when they changed the name of the company.

[EDIT--sexist comments.]

J-A-P Yenta

Bigotry? Obviously it hasn't completely died on this board. Rollye is also a good friend and bears no resemblance to your remarks in any way. Secretary/Consultant/Director/Doctor/Lawyer/Indian Chief? Oh, wait, I get it. You're doing a bad impression of Jon Lovit's pathological liar from Saturday Night Live. Give Lorne Michaels a call. They stink so badly this year you may have a shot. You'd have to give up your seat on the CBS board, however.

Rollye is great...loves Philly, and should be given a full-time slot on Philadelphia radio...or at least a Friday night slot for her trivia
