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).

See if you can top this (no, of course I don't like him).

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:

Possible dust-up brewing over what she may have said on WTKK about gays liking little boys.

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).

The Herald breathlessly reports that Howie Carr is abandoning WRKO for the morning drive slot at WTKK, where, as the Herald subtly puts it, he'll be competing against "disgraced, ex-House Speaker Tom Finneran, Carr's longtime nemesis" - who is now left to flop around on what the Herald describes as a weak-signaled pathetic excuse of a talk-radio station (Note to self: Get a nemesis; good for ratings).

Jessica Heslam reports Barnicle doesn't want to permanently replace Don Imus on WTKK.

Mike Barnicle, the man 10,000 silver bullets can't kill, sounds almost remorseful that he has to fill in for Don Imus for at least the next two weeks (transcript via Vegacura):

... I've known Don a long time. I can tell you, as he has indicated several times today and last week, he is a good man, he is not a racist. I mean, it sounds pitiful to have to say something like that, but he's a good man. ...

John Daley caught Mike "The Old Plagiarizer" Barnicle and Dan "CHB" Shaughnessy on the radio yesterday:

... Barnicle brought up "the blogging thing," and as they chuckled and guffawed away, Dan Shaughnessy chimed in that "all bloggers" are losers and frustrated journalists. And apparently, we're destroying the political system.

To borrow from their friend Imus, Can these guys be more over?

Dan Kennedy says bad news for gabby Howie Carr on WRKO.

Radio Equalizer reminds us of Jimmy Severino's, um, Jay Severin's past fun with the truth.

Dan comes to that conclusion after listening to Jay Severin replacement Michael Graham on WTKK (whose first priority is apparently to hire hookers and bums to re-start the Boston Veterans Day parade):

The Herald reports that WTKK has replaced non-Pulitzer-winning talk-show host Jay Severin with Michael Graham. Or, as Dan puts it:

WTKK Radio (96.9 FM) has replaced trash-talking, Muslim-bashing afternoon-drive-time host Jay Severin with trash-talking, Muslim-bashing afternoon-drive-time host Michael Graham.

Michael himself puts it this way:
