Howie Carr elected to Radio Hall of Fame

[Alan Tolz]

Dave in Boston writes, "I think the best lineup was Ted & Janet / Gene Burns 
/ Gerry Williams /
David Brudnoy / Larry King.".

While that would be an all-star lineup, I don't think they were ever all on 
RKO at the same time.  I think David left before Gene Burns came in.  Jerry 
and David were back to back in late 1981 through 1982-83,  Gene came to RKO 
in 1984 or 1985.  When David was there, it was Tony Pepper and Janet 
Jeghalian,  Dick Syatt, Harry Sobel, Jerry Williams and David Brudnoy.

By the time Gene came aboard to do the 10-2 shift, Ted O'Brien was paired 
with Janet before Gene, who was followed by Jerry and then either Guy 
Manilla or Bill O'Connel with a sports talk show from 6-8.  By then, David 
was on WBZ.
