Actually, I, Rick Kelly (nuhuc@juno.com) said that.  Anyway...

AM Drive.  He did PM drive at 'HYN.

Yep.

Yes, they had Howie, then he went away and they switrched to Bob Grant. 
Grant went out, and Howie came back.

Yep, Clear Channel.

By the way, this is Yorke's second stint at 'NNZ.  He was lured away from
WHYN to 'NNZ by 'NNz;s local management a few years ago, only to be
eventually lured back to 'HYN.
