Howie Carr to WTKK

[David Tomm]

Yeah, and it was gosh-awful.  The man literally didn't have an opinion 
about anything.  It was take a call, listen to what the caller said, 
thank them for calling in, ask "what do you think," pimp the phone 
number again, and repeat.  Over and over and over again.  Not 
compelling radio in the least.   Maybe that style of works at KGO, 
which tends to be a rather centrist radio station in comparison to most 
conservatalkers.  I suppose it could be effective on Sullivan's old 
shift on WBZ, but not on WRKO.  With that station skewing far right, 
they need a larger than life personality that has an opinion and isn't 
afraid to give it.  Gene Burns isn't that guy.
