        I thought the worst part was when he made sure to say something
insulting about each artist he played <g>.

        Did they use a lot of reverb last year? I don't remember it from
then and remember the real WRKO as not having the heavy reverb of WABC or
WMEX.

        IMO, the WRKO July 4 programming (done for the past two years) was
extremely poorly done. It showed just about zero effort -- obviously an
excuse to give the hosts the day off, as it was all on tape. They,
literally, had one old jingle (a legal ID jingle that they used way more
than once an hour). They really wore it out. In case they're going to do it
again, perhaps Shel could give them some of the jingles from his website.
