Herald: Barnicle doesn't want WTKK morning gig

[Bob Nelson]

I had read that Mike Barnicle wasn't too crazy about doing an "extended shift" and this blog entry
on the Herald's website confirms it. (He'll keep doing the show for now...)

"Greater Media, Inc. announced today that after much discussion, Mike Barnicle has decided to remove himself from consideration for the vacant morning show host opening on 96.9 FM Talk-WTKK in Boston. The decision was based on Barnicle’s contractual obligations with NBC Television and his upcoming commitments pertaining to the 2008 presidential election."
