Carr off in Concord area too

[Paul Hopfgarten]

'GIR would probably be the only outlet that could afford the fee if it
wanted the show, but if Hannity is a barter show, I wouldn't think they'd be
interested in shelling out $$$

Subject: Carr off in Concord area too

Howie Carr's show exited not only Burlington VT and Keene NH this week but
also 
WTPL-FM in Hillsboro/Concord NH (which has replaced it with ESPN's Dan
Patrick,
a show called "New Hampshire Today", and a simulcast of Ch 9 news). I knew a
third
station had dropped Howie (due to higher fees) and was pretty sure that WTPL
was that station...

Now today someone wrote into the Howie Carr live thread I do on Free
Republic,
someone who lives and works in the Concord area and was frustrated that the
show
is gone (was told they wanted to keep it but it wasn't being offered
anymore?
Or maybe "not at a price we could afford"). He said he couldn't pick up
Howie's
stations in Boston, Portland, New London NH, or Worcester where he works and
can only hear
about 10 minutes of the show via WRKO on his drive home.

I don't know if WGIR would want to pick up Howie (they'd have to delay
Hannity to carry Carr live). Who else-- WKXL in Concord? But they have a
block
of local news/talk in afternoons, so unless they wanted to put him on
via tape delay... (Oh, and the man who wrote me says he can't stream him
at his job...)
