I have received an email from Raja (he got my email address some time ago from God-knows-where and has
been SPAMming me with long weekly promos for his show on KDKA).
This mail announced that he had done his last show and was signing-off to pursue other opportunities.
I know people who have worked for the guy, and based on what I've heard about his ego I just don't buy
that he would voluntarily give up his drive to become a radio star.
I strongly suspect the truth is that KDKA went to him and told him he had done his last show, as he has just
taken over from Jim Roddey as the Chairman of the Allegheny County Republican Party. Allowing him to continue
with a weekly show would no doubt have resulted in a weekly bombardment of equal-time requests.
He was paying cash money for that time every week, so I suspect KDKA would not easily walk away from
that unless the equal time case was pretty compelling.
