Looove the handle!......How's Bela Oxmyx been?! Seeya ;D
Yes the most recent bit of news was the "reliable source" saying Howie would be returning to
WRKO (though I don't think Howie's camp has officially said anything) and the bit about him
trying to re-negotiate his contract to make it a shorter term...while it's possible there may soon
be a resolution I wonder if he won't make it back to the radio till after the New Year.
Hey Howie, keep holding out...only 4 years and 10 months to go till you can join WTKK with no
legal crap holding you back!
Officially yesterday marked the 8 week mark of Howie's exile.

I think we may be hearing something very soon. And if we hear what I hear we are going to hear (yes, I wrote that to be funny) it will raise the prescience score of Stocky, T.S. Bench, me and a few others while keeping the credibility score of the hate site consistent (think Dolphins consistent, not Pats consistent).

Mr. Raccoon, 8 weeks - how many days, hours and seconds. You're joking, right?
Anyone believe Howie Carr will come back "new and improved" or "more of the same."
deductive reasoning says that Carr will be as predictable as Christmas music on ROR and ODS.
yawn.

I hope he attacks Jason & Julie regularly! It'd be entertaining at least.
"more of the same"? I'd be happy with that

Well, one of your reliable sources reported that WRKO was running promos discussing how much money they were saving having Howie off the air, which was a sure sign that Howie was returning since 1, they wouldn't make light of situation unless he was returning, and 2. the easiest way to give Carr a 'soft landing' without any more embarrassment than necessary is to use humor to defuse the situation. They're giving Carr a better break than he tried to give them. There have been people who showed some class in this entire fiasco, and Howie wasn't one of them.
(though I don't think Howie's camp has officially said anything)]
They may be having trouble buying the white flags.
and the bit about him trying to re-negotiate his contract to make it a shorter term...
Why would Entercom do that? That's just a wishful-thinking smokescreen for the folks like Maloney who were prepared to fight this out to Howie's last nickel and now feel betrayed by him making them (and Howie himself) look like fools. Hell hath no fury like an 'insider' misled, so I think you can figure on Maloney attacking Howie pretty soon. I think the over/under on those retribution posts should be about 10 minutes after he returns to the air.
while it's possible there may soon be a resolution.
I think its a safe bet it's already a done deal.

Like a signed contract? You know, after being BS'd for so long by so many, perhaps now is the time to check into EDS detox so it doesn't happen in the future. You'll feel better, and after a period of well-reasoned posts, it will be like you never had it. Sort of like kicking cigarettes..
Officially yesterday marked the 8 week mark of Howie's exile.
Self imposed exile, you might add. I guess Howie's well-known 'concern' for his fans was, shall we say, somewhat overstated.

That's a good point about the humor--we already knew he was having to go back to 'RKO with his tail
between his legs...I didn't hear the actual promo because I wasn't listening to 'RKO much after the
Sox season ended!
White flags? Indeed.
But Howie will still have to deal with post-sunset crappy signals to the west (WCRN, help us out here!)
and freq. pre-emptions for Sox pre-games.
>>Maloney attacking Howie pretty soon
He tore into him for his "statement"...
"Carr's statement here is downright sickening. So much for dignity."
(http://www.savewrko.com , "Back to WRKO tomorrow afternoon")
What's EDS, Entercom Derangement Syndrome?
It's funny, mere hours after I posted that Howie might not be on till after the New Year--oops,
here comes the news. back on in less than 24 hours.
Well at least I have Greater Media for Ingraham and Hendrie (and country via WKLB)
between his legs...I didn't hear the actual promo because I wasn't listening to 'RKO much after the

Yeah, that's SaveWRKO mantra, too. Nobody listens, but everyone seems to know what's being aired. Go figger.

Nope. YOU'LL have to deal with them, because Howie never cared about any of that. It was all about the money, the rest was just a con job. Even Maloney seems to have figured that one out.

Yikes. Didn't even have to wait for the first show before the knives came out.
Damn, and I was going to take the 'under', too.
"Dignity?" A web site dedicated to fabrications, bogus 'insider info', name calling, water carrying, and the character assassination of people he doesn't know, talking about dignity; proof positive that God has a sense of both humor and irony.

I guess saying things were quiet along the Howie front invited something to happen, much like a no-hitter
gets broken up shortly after the announcers inform us that one is going on.
And yes the listeners will have to deal w/ pre-emptions.

And that's why I like it! Pass the popcorn!
