Let's not forget that someone at GM had the presence of mind to put Jody Mac back on the air. His show is all local and worth listening to. Personally I thought it was a cool thing one morning when I was listening to the Fox Sports radio network's morning show, which WPEN starts off with. So it comes out of DC I believe, and Steve Zaban was taking phoners about T.O and he got one from Jody MAC from WPEN.It was just cool to hear a syndicated show take a phoner from the station that is broadcasting the very same show. I can see this format working for Greater Media.
