I so agree with both...especially WEEI Newsradio 590. I was a news junkie because of that station.

Graham lost his Cumulus gig in Atlanta in mid-2016. Supposedly, he's working in DC but not in radio; not sure.
But, yeah, Graham, Severin, McPhee; would love Jim and Margery but that ain't gonna happen. Andelman Brothers, Mel Robbins, Hank Morse on weekends....
My point being that two posters to this thread have expressed a wish for 96.9 WTKK to return. And now I would like to be the third to do so.
Where Graham is now
Googling Morse yields a page on WROR, but I never listen so I do not know if it is cached or live.

My days of listening to Mr. Pierce and the BSO predate Ozawa......Eric Liensdorf was conductor...I used to WATCH on channel 2 and LISTEN to the (stereo) simulcast on WGBH-FM 89.7.....
Gone....but certainly NOT forgotten!!!
Where Graham is now
He appeared on WRKO yesterday morning with VB. I didn't catch the segment so I do not know what was discussed, or, if he's looking to make a return to radio.
I seem to recall from his TKK days that his second wife worked (or worked, I also seem to recall him discussing she had MS on the air) in media as well, so perhaps he's going to leverage some of her contacts to further his career at this point. At the moment it seems most of his facebook and twitter postings are links to articles at the Weekly Standard and Washington Examiner (isn't this were Krazy Kuhnah held his prestigious post of "foreign affairs news editor" or something to that effect?) which is owned by the "MediaDC" group, according to his posting. The job description seems to focus on social media, which I would think Graham is a bit old for (social media creative outlets seem to be more Millenial-oriented)
Severin's disappeared off the face of the planet, from what I've heard (which is, nobody's heard anything from him), after he lost the gig with The Blaze. I've heard Mel appears periodically as a commentator on CNN or MSNBC (forget which). Not sure how McPhee's gig at WMEX is working out for her, I gather once you get 10 miles from the transmitter you lose the signal (I can never pick it up anywhere I travel, unless I want to stream it). My wife listens to NPR in the car (a habit I have desperately attempted to break her of) so I've caught bits and pieces of Jim and Margery when I've gotten into the car with her and she's had the radio on, it doesn't sound like they've changed much, just older now, like all of us. Googling Morse yields a page on WROR, but I never listen so I do not know if it is cached or live.
I recall Carr was going to make the jump to TKK, isn't that when RKO dropped the hammer on him to enforce his contract?
I'd be happy with a decent local talk station on weekends which has something other than financial shows selling me annuities or estate planning services. Up until mid December I could catch Schilling's show on Howie's network, and then switch over to WPRO for John Mclaughlin's show on Saturdays. Sundays are a complete bust.
Now when I work outside weekends, I have to find an oldies station to listen to while I'm driving nails.
Yep, almost peed my pants when I heard the 'TKK opening to Michael Graham's show when 'RKO came out of the 9:00 news Friday morning. However, with all the chatter in my kitchen at the time I heard little, if any, of the segment. (Oooh, wait - I could go to 'RKO's site and hear it there, I suppose.) As for his wife's having MS or being in media herself, I'm not aware of such, but I'll go with that for now.
Kuhner wrote for the Washington Times, not either of the two papers you referenced.
Hank Morse did a Saturday morning talk show on 'TKK. He co-hosted with Matt Shearer, who became producer of the TJ Morning Show on AMP 103.3, and then took over Mel Robbins' slot when she left. He is still with Greater Beasley, as pointed out by another poster.
J&M were hilarious mornings on 'TKK; the double entendres from Braude were superb. Methinks that type of humor would not fly well at 89.7.
For the record, despite his controversies, suspensions et al, I'll take Severin over Glenn Beck ANY day. The latter is overbearing to the nth degree.
Absolutely! The station was awesome during that period!WZOU from Steve Rivers or Sunny Joe White era (November 1989 to July 1992).
