Hey Yonk, I don’t get it. Your old buddy L.A. Tarone sets some kind of ratings record by topping a 7 share at night, has the highest quarter hours at WILK, beating everybody, makes not only night time talk radio, but talk radio period, relevant again, then announces he has lung cancer (edit) and that doesn’t even rate a Top 5 media story? But WARM celebrates number 75 does? Boy, you’re tough.
(I see the ratings because I’m a time buyer)
