Save WRKO: Oops

Oops

WBZ has just announced its new evening talk show will be called "Nightside". One problem: Bonneville International already has a syndicated early evening talk show with the same name.

No word on whether any legal steps have been taken to protect that name, but my guess is Bonneville might have something to say about this, since it intends to take the show nationwide and is already airing it in several major cities.

Remember when George Regan announced Finneran's talk show would be called "The Finneran Factor"? Boston radio sure does suffer from a creativity shortage.

I was thinking the same thing. I knew of the Bonneville show in Wash DC and Seattle; the
other night I noticed it was on WWWT in D.C.
(I think they run Phil Hendrie afterwards).
But it IS "Nightside".

This message is for:
"moonbatsforhowie"
You said: "...WRKO on the dial and you'll be treated to the Snoozefest and BoobieTalk that you so desire. The rest of us can listen to Howie".

I just love your remarks. You are moonbat I truly like. See Howie was a prophet a miracle working he was bringing us all together.
Kum bai ah.

Entercom is excrement.

I also thought the guy who said all the guys at Boston Magazine where light in their loafers was great ROTFL. I never heard that one before. That is soooo cute the object of the jest wouldn't even be offended. that is the magic of the Howie style. He made people laugh you morons!

I miss Howie so much.I MISS HOWIE, IMISS HOWIE.
I am trying to do the WTKK thing. It is better than RKO right now. Is that a good thing to do folks? Anyone out there?

Does anyone think this whole thing is a huge publicity stunt? I'm so confused.

How about Suicide with Dan Rae? Because Dan Rae as a talk radio host makes me want to take a one way trip up onto the Tobin Bridge.

I actually was'nt doing too bad until I watched that Miss South Carolina again on Youtube. Then I was reminded that we and south africa DONT HAVE MAPS!! How will we find any thing or anyone. How will Howie find us.

I wish Ann Coulter would reach out off her book cover and smack lethalady in the mouth.

Goodnight folks. Come back tomorrow ok?
before the streetlights go off.

Streetlights are not going to make it too easy for drawing a mustache on the bona-Lisa! I am not too sure I want ti be touching the cover of Anne Coulter's anything.
