Tai takes on Howie in Herald blog

I love Howie but I think the show suffered when it went national and lost its edge locally.
 
Boston Radio Watch is reporting that TAI's blog has been pulled from the Herald's website and will not return.

Seems that someone got a bit PO'd about the Howie Carr posting.

Who cares if he was right or not, we can't question the Great and Mighty Oz can we.
 
Interesting! Hmm...well, as I've said before I like Tai and have met him several times though
we don't agree on this issue. (Maybe he can write a blog for Globe?...though BG is laying off/
"early retirement offers" more people including Jackie McMullen acc to the Herald)

Wow, I liked Tai's blog a lot.

Tai, the internet is one of the great equalizers!

Time for you to get your own domain ( Tai-rade.com ?)...and launch your own blog!

First topic...Howie and the Herald!
 
Mr. Stickley should at least make an effort to remind readers of who he used to be before critiquing someone who's managed a much bigger and longer career.
 
Eh-rah, Tai's radio career is much longer than Howie's. Tai did morning drive for years at 'FNX and a while at 'RKO.
If you count Howie's print and radio careers, yeah, those together are much bigger and might be even or longer.

It was mentioned last night on WBZ (Steve Leveille interviewing Tolz/Elman about the Jerry Williams book)
that "the Governors" got started on Jerry's show around 1988 and Jerry had just brought aboard (around
the time of the DNC) Howie Carr who had never done radio before (some TV, maybe, but not radio).
So Howie did appearances with Jerry on air for a few yrs then got gigs at WRKO (mid-mornings) and WHDH
(then moved back to 'RKO, along with Rush, when WEEI moved in to 850).
Howie's site has a clip going back to the 'HDH days (Chappaquiddick-related interview; begins with
Bill Smith, IIRC, doing a bumper for him).

Anyway, yes Howie's been on for 20 years and Tai pre-dates him.

tai is a good guy and a real radio pro. carr is a fake corporate talk show host and a lazy columnist.

adam 12 brought it up during his crossover with t+r the other afternoon. they made some good points. if a guy like carr can't take the heat, he shouldn't be writing/mailingin columns for a newspaper or doing talk radio. just goes to show you what a double-faced a-hole carr is. he can dish it out but he can't take it. then he goes running to his bosses demanding tai's blog be taken down because he got slammed for all the right reasons. what an effin' coward.
 
oops, I should have said HOWIE had been brought aboard in my post above

Carr's not a lazy columnist and I think he's entertaining on the radio. He gets help though from
the likes of the mayor, who entertained us all with his reading to second graders from a book
about a garbage truck (thus providing Howie with the sound bite, "I stink")

Hmm, possible Howie was the one behind the removal of Tai's column? Who knows; note that it
also criticized his column so it could have been one of the folks at the Herald who didn't want to
see Howie put down. But...interesting. You almost could see the same thing happening if one of
the columnists for the Globe were in the same position, and a Globie takes down a blog on the Globe
site...
