David Schrag posts a transcript of his on-air takedown of the blabmeister, and then fisks Jimmy Severino's tirade against him (after he'd bounced him off the air, natch).

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

A whole lot.

Joe Keohane has the scoop on Michele McPhee's impending move to WTKK - which recently let her go to make room for tired Don Imus (and pal Barnicle).

So Michele McPhee of the Herald aplogized for what she said the other day on WTKK about gay men and little boys. Dan Kennedy considers the odd Herald story about the apology, which never says exactly what it was that got her in trouble, but which has been reported by other media outlets:

If the Boston Herald is going to report on Michele McPhee's on-air apology for seeming to draw a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia, shouldn't the paper also report what she was apologizing for?

Possible dust-up brewing over what she may have said on WTKK about gays liking little boys. Some think she called gay men pedophiles; she basically says she was talking about the preference of gay fashion designers for stick-figure women with boy-like physiques, although it's hard to say for sure since the reporter of the piece says she said it "off the record" (dude: if somebody tells you something is "off the record," it means they're telling you they don't want it in the story; although you'd think McPhee would know better than to say anything she doesn't want quoted to a reporter).

Could Howie Carr be getting ready to move to Charlotte, NC?

Greater Media, which owns WTKK, recently bought WBT in Charlotte. Brian on Saving WRKO speculates if that could mean a move south for Contract Boy:

... Since a good chunk of New England has already resettled in the Carolinas, why not? ...

Save WRKO gets the scoop on how WTKK is revamping itself in preparation for Howie Carr, thanks to some careless Web developer who left up a link to a Web-site redesign (since pulled down).
