Larry Glick

[Dan Pierce]

You are correct.  The disastrous Larry Glick midday experiment on WHDH-AM 
ended when Pat Whitley replaced him (with me as his producer) in that 
daypart in late 1989.  Larry was a terrific guy and a terrific talent, but 
middays was the wrong daypart for him, especially on a station that was 
moving into an issue-oriented talk position.
