Howie Carr to WTKK

[Dan Strassberg]

I think that's called a twofer; WTKK solves its AM-drive problem AND
mortally wounds its competition. If Entercom can do no better in PM drive
than the incredibly lame 6:00AM to noon duo of Finneran and Feinburg (both
separately and in combination, I find them virtually unlistenable), WRKO had
better look for some dirt-cheap syndicated programming that will be
consistent with minuscule ratings and the give-away spots that such ratings
beget. Next stop, brokered time a la WWZN? Hey, if it can pay the bills at
the top of the dial, it might work on the other side--although with
Feinburg's history in brokered time, he'd probably be first in line at the
GM's office with his personal check in his outstretched hand.

Anybody remember when Pat Whitley was leasing the entire boradcast day of
what was then WGTR (now WBIX) from John Garabedian? The calls were WTTP. I
believe Whitely started the Restaurant Show on WTTP (or at least first
started brokering it throughout southeastern New England while he was
running WTTP). Whitley must now be about 70. Think he'd go for brokering the
entire schedule except for Red Sox broadcasts? Maybe the Red Sox would jump
at brokering WRKO's full schedule.
