(Please leave on Boston board despite references to NYC...you'll see why at
end...thanks!)
WRKO's former sister station in the RKO-General days, WOR, is letting
longtime talker Bob Grant go (I never really listened to him but I
think Jerry Williams used to praise him). Replacement? According to NY Post:
"WOR (710 AM) will replace Grant with chef Rocco DiSpirito, who was the central figure in NBC's star-crossed reality show, "The Restaurant," and who currently does "Food Talk" in the late morning. The move appears to be more about money than ratings. Grant has WOR's highest share of daytime audience, and DiSpirito nearly the lowest, but food shows — like the other specialty shows WOR carries — fetch premium rates from sponsors who target specialized, if smaller, audiences."
So this may explain WRKO's Taste of Boston tonight?<P ID="signature">______________
