'FNX listeners narrowly pick his Rage Against the Machine choice over some other guy's choice. Selected comment:

Yoon looks like a badass. I feel if I don't vote for him he'll come to my house and punch me in face, steal my wallet, and drink milk straight from the carton.

Meanwhile, David Bernstein explains why Deval Patrick's newfound admiration for charter schools could help Yoon more than Menino.

Long running Sunday show cancelled for financial reasons, the Herald reports.

Seems 'FNX cancelled some goth ball but never bothered to notify the people who'd won tickets to it:

... Can you imagine showing up at Hurricane O'Reilly's dressed up like your inner goth fag? Nothing like getting your latex-wearing ass kicked by a bunch of drunken jocks or frat boys on the streets outside the Banknorth Garden. It's not that I could give a crap whether or not I go to your stupid goth ball. Just get your heads out of your collective ass, please. ...

Ken Jennings, yes, that Ken Jennings, gives his side of whatever it is that caused veteran WFNX news director Henry Santoro to stomp off the air yesterday. Basically, Jennings doesn't buy the story of Santoro quitting under an onslaught of complaints from outraged Jennings fans over a taped interview aired on the wrong day:

... I really don't understand a beloved local newsman quitting over some angry phone calls, even if there were any. It's not like he ran forged National Guard papers about the President. He mis-announced a little book signing. Who the hell cares? ...

You can't make stuff like this up.

Or can you? Santoro was back on the air this morning, at least, based on this Sandbox clip (toward the end).

UPDATE: Kennedy now wonders if it was all a stunt.

Magdalena Kennedy was shocked to turn on WFNX this morning just in time to hear longtime news guy Henry Santoro announce he was quitting right that second:

... I suspected it was a prank, but called the station anyway, where an overwhelmed intern told me that the studio was empty because everyone had run after Henry to try to talk him down. After about 10 minutes of commercials and station IDs, most of the DJs returned to air, minus Henry and one person who was talking to him. They assured us that he was still in the building, and continued the broadcast as best as they could. ...

Chris Monks wonders if it has to do with Santoro announcing the wrong date for some local appearance by Jeopardy champion/cult leader Ken Jennings.
