This week should be last week for Curtis and Kuby

L

LIradiofan226

With Imus arriving the first week of December, it is time for ABC to say goodbye to Curtis and Kuby. I mean it. There should be no more C&K all of November in order to make a more seamless transition from the C&K morning show to Imus in the morning. This week should be the good-bye week. Than they can have for a few weeks Mark Simone as the interim morning host until Imus arrives. Babbita Harriani can serve as interim morning news anchor for Simone, while traffic and weather ladies Debbie Duchaine and Stephanie Deluca can stay for a few weeks until Imus arrives. It would be ridiculous nonsense to have C&K end on a Friday and then expect Imus to be able to fill those shoes on Monday. Taking them off the air for all of November will allow listeners to adjust that there is no more Curtis and Kuby and be more accepting of Imus. The alternative is C&K sign off one day and then drivers flip on 770 the following Monday not yet realizing or remembering they're gone, get Imus instead and not having yet accepted that they're gone angrily flip the dial to 1010 wins or Joe and Donna.
 
Hey Caveman - please do not make caustic comments about Mark Simone. He is a very kind person and a great asset to the radio business. Why should it matter if he wears a toupe or not.

I don't think Imus' arrival is going to impact the current traffic and weather personalities on the WABC morning show. I believe Debbie is contracted by Metro, and likewise Stephanie from The Weather Channel.
 
Where are you folks getting your information from that Imus will be back on the air and going to WABC?

The only mention I've seen was on fybush.com and Scott mentioned the Drudge Report.

If Imus returns will he try to re-establish his cross-country network, or just stay in the Big Apple? And what about a possible return to cable TV?

It matters because Simone makes "caustic" comments about celebrities and politicians that he has different views than, or dislikes. While radio is the lowest form of "show business", it is still show business...therefore he is a celeb and open for "caustic comments"...he dishes it, therefore he can receive it...besides, wearing a wig is pathetic, especially if you work in radio.
