Dennis and Callahan locked out

[Kevin Vahey]

Herald article now online and has a new Howie nugget..they wanted to cut his pay

Entercom also owns WRKO (680 AM), which will lose afternoon-drive talk
king Howie Carr on Sept. 19. Carr, also a Herald columnist, quit
because Entercom wanted to cut his pay by more than $50,000, a station
source said.

This Red Sox contract (16 M a year )is sucking Entercom dry. So far we
have seen the News-Talk station fire the news department, the insanity
of spliting the games between 2 stations, the loss of Howie and now
this. A friend at WGR-Buffalo told me Jason has made budget cuts there
because of Boston's expenses.

If indeed CBS wants to make WBCN into sportstalk (WFAN-FM?) they could
blow WEEI out of the water by hiring D&C and then going after Ordway.
