Although Callahan’s quotes are his typical D-Bag self he does bring up a good point. I have never heard of Toucher and Rich either until this morning. I did listen to them and if they decide that playing the role of “wacky FM DJs” is going to work then they are sadly mistaken. One of the big turnoffs of D&C is when they go off on their political rants T&R better be sports oriented.

Another issue is Gary Tanguay will need a regular co-host or Dale and Holley will destroy him.

Felger will do significant damage to Ordway which should take some of the wind out of his sail.

I would imagine just about anyone could go against Adams.

What Callahan has failed to figure is threefold.

1) Deep Pockets – CBS has much more money than Entercom.
2) Much Better Signal – I live in Hillsborough County, NH and could never get AM 1510 or 890.
3) Don’t think for a second CBS will not do what Entercom did and buy up other New England stations. They will in a heartbeat.

Yes, there is. D&C’s paid sycophant, Meter, the Flash-middle aged man. (I stole that from WEEI’s intro yesterday. I think it is from when Grande left.)

It’s one thing to be a turd on your own, you are who you are. It’s another to be a turd to make your a##hole bosses like you.

Isn’t flashboy something you graduate from? Pete cannot run a show to save his life and Meter only recently became a fillin host.

the herald article relied on quotes from callahan, how did the reporter garner these quotes? did she phone him up? knock on his door in west andover? or are we to assume callahan has a herald email adress he refuses to let be printed in his byline?

Is anyone better at being a complete turd than Gerry Callahan? That is, anyone other than John Dennis?

Live talk radio is one thing that, for the time being, the ipod can’t replace (though I wouldn’t be suprised if it does within 7 years).

I’m looking forward to this station, I htink a more sports-centric T&R could be a home run, and I am on the side of the camp that likes Felger. Get decent midday and evening personnel and you have a home run on your hands.

“Who? Never heard of them,” said Callahan of the “Toucher and Rich” duo.

“I am speaking to you from under my desk right now because I am so scared. I’m afraid to come out,” the Herald columnist quipped.

“They all start on my show. We send off the spin-offs,” said Ordway, noting Felger started doing radio on “The Big Show.”

Well at least they’re not being pricks about it. I’d love to see these smug bastards go down in flames.
