Feinburg to co-host with Finneran (Herald)

[Maureen Carney]

I wasn't thinking in terms of content, just compentency to move a show along. Finneran might develop it in time but morning drive shouldn't be on-the-job training in a major market. Entercom really dropped the ball by not having a co-host from the start, but maybe that was a condition of getting Finneran on the air.

Maybe Feinburg has the skills you mentioned. He certainly seems to
lack the others that one would think necessary to earn a salary of
close to 1/4 $million/year in radio. He could start with even a
modicum of intelligence--but hey, it's not easy to come by and if you
can make all those $$$ without it, why bother trying to cultivate it?
Feinburg is pathetic! But I guess he makes Finneran sound good by
comparison.
