Howie Carr to WTKK

The Herald has a few articles in today's paper about all this. 

If WRKO can't find a local host to replace Carr they could pick up
Hannity (ABC would prefer to have him on a stronger station) or
another syndie host. 

Entercom insists they still have Carr under contract and plan
to keep him but their chances of doing so are slim. Apparently
Entercom could have given him a one-year renewal in March but did not
do so...one Herald article quotes sources as saying that
upon hearing of Howie's exit, Jason Wolfe "smashed a glass award sitting on his office desk".

Without Howie, WRKO might consider other options, including just moving the sports stuff from 850 to 680 and turn 850 into
any format that isn't being covered now (perhaps even libtalk).

Herald says Howie got very good ratings in key demos and literally millions of ad dollars
could now be migrating to Greater Media...
