WRKO

That Howie is such a kidder

As Dan Kennedy notes, Howie Carr's column on Jim Marzilli today is your basic called-in faux-outrage piece about a pol in trouble. But read down to the last two sentences - man, Howie loves working at 'RKO.

Nobody criticizes Howie, see?

Dare to complain about how Howie Carr called in a column about how awful the Marathon is? You'll do it on your own site, the Herald tells Tai Irwin, scrubbing its own Web pages clean of the former 'FNX jock's Tai-Rade blog (his blog URL now only brings up "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria").

Free Republic, of all places, has a copy of the offending post, which, OK, takes a dig or two at the Herald ("purchased by over a dozen Bostonians at newsstands"). Scroll down a screen or so.

Via Boston Radio Watch, which posts the e-mail Irwin sent to local media types (scroll down a bit on this page as well).

WRKO overlords censor news they don't like

And on Howie Carr's show, no less. But damned if Entercom, which owns the station, is going to let you know that the evil government gave its evil approval to the evil Sirius/XM merger. Bob Nelson was listening today when Carr tried to announce the news:

"Oh, breaking news--- Justice Dept. has approved the (silence). Oh that's good...(to producer)

Did you bleep that out? I can't report the news?"

Went to drudge: Sirius XM Merger Approved.

That's right folks: WRKO does not want you to hear the news. ...

Tom Finneran's latest ethics issue

adamg — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:43:16 -0500

Speaker-turned-blabmeister apparently out to prove this is a post-ethical world we're living in.

Don't worry: Howie Carr still doesn't want to work at WRKO

Scott Allen Miller, late of our local airwaves, spotted him up in Manchester yesterday doing his show while wearing a WTKK button.

How much does Boston talk radio suck these days?

A whole lot.
