Former WBZ PD writes on how Dave Maynard became morning man

[Kevin Vahey]

Rick Starr writes a long note on the mess WBZ was 30 years ago when he left
KDKA to take the WBZ job.

They had lost the Patriots because Westinghouse was late with rights fee,
and as he describes being stuck with a morning man who should have retired
20 years earlier.

So according to this, putting Dave on the overnight show was not a master
plan to replace Carl. Rick had to convince NY that Carl had to go. Even
Bruce Bradley was considered.

He also mentions a mid-day person who Starr thought was awful but doesn't
name.

This reinforces my recollection that they put Dave on overnight to make him
quit.
