Was Kevin Barbare let go from Hillman morning show on WAAF?

O

on-air-in-NH

I just stumbled upon this FB page (appears to have been set up today) It states that Kevin Barbare was let go earlier today. Can anyone shed any light on this subject. If this is true this is a HUGE mistake.

>>WAAF fans are all fired up over the firing of morning sidekick and man of a million voices Kevin Barbare, who was shown the door Tuesday after 20 years on the rock station. The departure has spawned three “Bring Back” Facebook fan pages, hundreds of tweets eviscerating Entercom and lots of angry calls and emails to management types for breaking up Greg Hill’s morning team...Barbare said his contract with the station ran out Aug. 1, but he never expected to be unemployed.
 
It won't happen with Matty's sidekicks because the show makes money.

The ratings have plummeted for WAAF. Weekend staff let go. Loveline put on at night. The billing has most likely followed the ratings. No big shocker that someone on the morning show goes as well.
 
Wow, he was the only shining light on an otherwise bland show.. he wrote all the hilarious Looney Tunes, etc. A huge loss for AAF... Hillman show only just got worse!

Kevin got canned? He must've said something bad about George Bush.

Well, remember, Spaz did the same about our current president and only got suspended for two days, plus a visit from the Secret Service ;)
 
The show has sucked since John Osterlin left. And sucked even more when Mike Tsu left. At least those two weren't just Greg Hill puppets, like L.B. is.

WCOZ, I love your name! I met someone a couple of years back that worked at WCOZ, and I remembered her from working there.
