So do they want someone to take over
Howie's slot or Kuhner's?

Howie does let on some contrarian callers
and has a bit of fun with. One seems almost
like a put on, Bill from E Hartford who supposedly
hasn't worked in decades and delights in getting
free stuff. "I want, I want, I want, gimme gimme gimme"
is a sound clip they play of him. One time he sounded
like he was taking pills and it sounded like he was
acting..probably not a genuine caller.
It is true about the extremes but that could be the most
dedicated callers/listeners.Sometimes Howie can
be moderate/pragmatic and defend candidates like Scott
Brown, a mod. Republican; those on far right call
him Repub in Name Only and he says to those in NH,
you don't like him but would you rather have Shaheen?
Some stations tried 'left, right, and whatever we want" but
gave up on it.
Dan Rea on WBZ is conservative and smart etc
a la the late libertarian Brudnoy and that will
continue. Howie is funny (for those who agree
with him) and probably preaching to converted but if he's
gone from RKO who do we get in his slot...are
we goingk to be tuningk into the Kuhner-man?
we goingk to be tuningk
Air America went away mainly because its "talk show hosts" were standup comedians, who could not carry several hours of daily, insightful talk, as opposed to a 15 minute comedy bit. And they were under funded.
Some good thoughts. Sadly, don't think anything can save WRKO but a fire sale.
Perhaps, all is forgiven and General Tire and Rubber Company can come back and buy "RKO...;-) As a late and not lamented former general manager of that hellhole once said, ' General Tire has more money than GOD..." But then again God doesn't need radio waves to communicate...as far as we know...
another example of your radio knowledge that seemed to stop about 30 years ago?
Please stop with the personal attacks. Moderator please take notice of this individuals repeated personal attacks on those with whom he/she disagrees .
Not a personal attack, just pointing out that your "solutions" to "fixing radio" are all 30+ years old.
Someone on Facebook said Kuhner is
killing them in ratings and there is
talk Kuhner may try to go national (huh?)
so RKO may wind up losing both, or maybe
only signing up new Howie show for short
term...? Not sure..
