37. "Now the over 70 crew apparently wants their afternoons filled with hate and lies!"

No they don't. My mother is 83 and has been listening to WOR for >30 years (we pick it up here in Philly pretty good) and I think this will backfire for the demographic who listened to the station for years and years (they bragged that they had been the last independently-owned station in the NYC market). Joan has been moved to weekends 10 - 12.

I figured this was coming when they completely booted their Sunday garden show lSt year (hosted for years by Ralph Snodsmith and then by Mark Viette when Snodsmith passed). They started s phase out by eliminating the 2nd hour and replacing with simulcast of MTP with idiot Gregory. They ran the whole garden show on their stream though but eventually ditched that too - completely. And now they have also added Savage Weiner in the drive-time slot. It was bad enough when they took Bob Grant after he had been fired from WABC (and he is no longer on this Earth now after the brief return to WABC) and Lou Dobbs after he left CNN, but now they have officially become a cesspool station.
