Who will Julie hire to replace Depetro?

[raccoonradio]

Yes. Public radio should actually go commercial--loosen the regs and allow them to run spots. This will enable them to get money without begathons. In Canada
there are "semi-public" stations that will run jazz, blues, etc. and do both pledge announcements AND
actual ads (up to 4 min. an hour--Volvo, Air Canada, etc.)

All things Considered will return after this message from Budweiser.

by the way, The Incredible Shrinking Network (hint: they just declared bankruptcy) continues to shed
stations. New Orleans, Madison WI (not too many progressives there, eh), and now Binghamton. Replaced
by: rebroadcasts of WWL shows (thanks Entercom!), Fox Sports, and ESPN, respectively. CC trimming jobs
nationwide and going to cheap syndie programming that actually makes money...will the axe fall on WXKS (AM)
and WKOX...?

(N.O. station owner Entercom; Madison station owner Clear Channel; Binghamton station owner Citadel)

Is Peter Blute a player? Currently mornings on WCRN but there's the intriguing possibility of:

6-9 Peter Blute on both WRKO AND WCRN
9-noon Scott Allen Miller
etc

Don't forget 7 pm many nights in the future will be Celtics or Red Sox

Blutto wasn't bad, but he wasn't great. C'mon RKO, find us some great talent.

I would rather Peter Blute 9-noon, though that booze party on the front page of the Herald ...really...

yeah, if you can't find Great, we'll take Peter Blute

MY GOD, today's a new low for 'rko!! Thought it couldn't get worse, Sen. Brown did it!! Boring dreck..

it's worse for the buyers who thought they were buying time on jd three weeks ago and now get stuck with this s h i t. at least the fat lesbian hater had something called an audience. i am sure the clients will get credit and make goods in the winter book but still this is really awful programming decision on jason's part.
